Action buttons not working anymore on iPad 2nd gen

SneakX 1 year ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Apple updated by Feliz Lalof 1 year ago 3

Hi,

Been using ActionTiles for years on an old 2nd gen iPad as a weather station and lights control unit.

Since about a week the action buttons (dim lights, shut down lights, etc) are not functioning. Did something recently change in the software, I thought that the iPad 2 with Safari was supported (can’t install nothing else with the old iOS 9.x on it unfortunately).


Thanks.

Do I understand the licensing correctly ?

MevetS 1 year ago in License & Purchasing updated by Mike Puiu 1 year ago 2

I currently have 3 hubs.

1) Inside the house.

2) Inside the Garage

3) Inside a RV 

Based on the Licensing information, I've found, it would seem that I need 2 Licenses.

Is this correct ?

If so, will all those hubs still be able to interact?

Image displayed from BlueIris on my Android tablet quit working, but the same media tile displays OK on my iPad

TheLAD 1 year ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Android updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 1 year ago 3

Did Android change something recently to make this stop working.  For a long time I have had a media tile built to retrieve images 1/second from BlueIris my doorbell camera (EZVIZ).  The same media tile still displays fine on my iPad.  The media tile is set as a still image to this URL: http://192.168.1.xxx:yyyy/image/doorbell?user=samsung-tab-a&pw=?????????

SmartWeather Station Tile location Authorization issue

johnh1967 1 year ago updated by Feliz Lalof 1 year ago 6

I recently had to authorize my AT panels with my Samsung account. It always seems like there's something new that I have to do with AT, but I think this was a requirement from ST I believe. 

I currently have two ST hubs in different locations with two AT seat licenses. I noticed that once I authorized my (at home) AT with my Samsung account, the SmartWeather Tile app stopped giving me its location and other weather data. 

I looked at the panel with the same SmartWeather tile app connected to the other hub  (different house, different AT seat license) had not been authorized yet, and the weather tile was still working perfectly. Once I authorized that panel through AT and Samsung, the SmartWeather tile was also not working correctly.

I had to authorize my AT with my Samsung account because AT was not updating the status of switches and lights correctly. I am wondering if anybody else is experiencing the same situation.

Hide Tilesets Using Configurable Status

Jeff 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by cobee 1 year ago 3 1 duplicate

I would like to be able hide a tileset based on whether or not I'm home, or if the home security is in alarm. I would like to enter a PIN/password to reset the alarm. It would also be nice to have a tileset be view only until a PIN is entered to allow changes.

Weather Tile widget generation from theweather.com

JB Bentz 6 years ago in Media Tiles / Weather & Traffic updated by Dan Jarvis 1 year ago 32

I found a new resource that could come in handy for AT.  It's a weather widget that can generate an image, rather than just html.  Its fully customization, and may work for other tile sizes.  I just started screwing around with it. check it out:

Paulo Nóbrega 7 years ago in Shortcut Tiles updated by Wingnut1000 1 year ago 252

hi there....

Is there a way to open android apps, ou executy an app activity?

I use chromecast audio for multiroom, i can't seem to find a way to open the Google Play Music within smartthings...
In my dashboard and just wanted at least to open the app, and then the music app can handle where to play the music...

Does anyone found any shortcut to open Play Music? I've tried as shortcut the app name, the activity to open app but nothing works... In the dashboard when i click that shortcut it takes me to configuration of the tiles. LOL

Does it make sense?

The latest Fully Kiosk Browser release has helped a bunch with opening Android apps from actiontiles. You can now select apps for the whitelist.  You can also figure out the app intent URL very easily, by turning on the new single app mode and selecting the app you want.  It will then load the intent URL which you can copy and paste it into a shortcut tile.  So far I have gotten it to work with Spotify and Hangouts.  Works like a charm.

Using VLC transcode Video RTSP stream to MJPEG

Brent Thomas 6 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by Matt Pierson 1 year ago 20

I posted this for another user but though I would create a topic on how I was able to access my Samsung SNH-v6410PN camera feed in action tiles using VLC.  There are a lot of variations when setting this up so this is not comprehensive to cover every camera type but hopefully it gets you most of the way there.s


To do this through VLC with my Samsung camera I took the following steps.  Before proceeding identify the url for you cameras RTSP stream - Great database to find this: 


1. Make sure you can access your cameras RTSP stream from a browser.   In the case of my samsung camera I accessed the RTSP stream with this path, rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.72/profile5/media.smp (Make sure to replace with the RTSP format for your camera (it will vary).   Note:  If camera is user/password protected you may not be able to pass the user:password in the URL when trying to access the feed.   This depends on the browser you are using.  Chrome and fully do not allow them to passed so simply enter the URL as shown below and then you should be prompted for the user name and password.  Firefox should work ok with the user:pass being passed within the URL as shown above.


2. Install VLC (im using version 2.2.8) and access VLC command line. To do this from windows open up Windows CMD prompt as administrator and navigate to you VLC directory path below.  Note:  Some VLC versions are buggy with trans-coding so thats why I reference the version of VLC I am using to do this successfully.

C:\>cd Program Files (x86)

C:\Program Files (x86)>cd VideoLAN

C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN>cd VLC

C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC>


3. Once there enter the command string shown below and REPLACE the part highlighted in bold with your cameras RTSP stream link.  Note: you only need to enter the user:password part of the string if you have assigned the camera a user name and password logon.  Also replace the IP address with your IP address.    After you press enter if you dont receive any errors go to step 4.


vlc.exe -R rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.72/profile5/media.smp --sout

"#transcode{vcodec=mjpg,vb=2500,scale=1.0,fps=10,acodec=none}:standard{access=http{mime=multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad720ed50a},mux=mpjpeg,dst=:8888/videostream.cgi}


4.  Change the IP address below to the IP of the PC running VLC that is doing the transcoding.  Try to access the stream from a web browser or action tiles (only will work on your local network).    If camera is user/password protected you may not be able to pass the user:password in the URL when trying to access the feed, this depends on the browser you are using.  Chrome and fully do not allow them to passed so simply enter the URL as shown below and then you should be prompted for the user name and password. http://192.168.1.119:8888/videostream.cgi


5.  If all is successful grab yourself a Beer and celebrate :)


Hope this helps

tinyCam Pro Android App web server: Stream RTSP and Wyze Cam to ActionTiles!

Geewiz 6 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by Matt Pierson 1 year ago 154

After attempting to stream using Blue Iris (CPU on the server went through the roof), and not having any success using some of the other methods found here on the forum, I decided to give tinyCam a try.   


There was another post that made a passing reference to the tinyCam webserver, so I installed the app on my Nexus 9, setup webserver and am now able to stream one of my outside security cams to a media tile.


Image 2040


Here's the media setup panel...


Image 2041


The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to address any of the other three cameras.  There is supposedly a parameter to select a camera, but it's not working for me.   Here's the request parameters from the Tinycam webserver API...


Perhaps there are others using tinyCam Pro Webserver that might share their experiences...

Using Actiontiles with DockScreen android app

W_B 3 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Android updated 1 year ago 2

Image 5992

I'm a long time Actiontiles user, who recently started developing an app called DockScreen Google Play


Its an app for keeping your screen on and viewing your notifications and news, it also has a webview that can display the Actiontiles web app..

It can also autoupdate websites so it solved that problem for me with Actiontiles.

I'm wondering if any actiontiles users will test it and give some feedback for further development..

Home tile

I have made 3 scenes: Armed away, Armed Home and Disarmed. They all work flawlessly and change the arming mode in Smartthings.

I have seen that there is a tile that, when pressed, contains the same functions.

My problem is I can't get this tile to change state.

What am I doing wrong or is this tile not working?
