Example Panelset with image based front-page

Ike O. 6 years ago updated 5 years ago 9

Hi everyone...


I am using a front-page for my panels and it just wanted to share.

It's very simple to do it and your imagination is the limit!


How:

- these are actually 1x3 jpeg images placed next to panel shortcuts.

- Each row is a tile set. 

(the last picture will give you a better idea)

PICTURE / PANEL SHORTCUT / BLANK TILE / PANEL SHORTCUT / PICTURE


- Your chosen picture or image should blend into white at the end and the panel shortcut background should be white

so that the thin line between the picture and panel shortcut is not visible. I tried several colors with #XXXXXX numbers but for some reason there was always a tone difference. (I am not a graphic artist or photoshop expert so this might be my fault) but white worked perfectly. No tone difference.


- in the panel style, create your own THEME and choose TILE BACKGROUND COLOR white.

- To get rid of spaces between the tiles, go to panel style > Dimentions > Tile Spacer size (scroll down) > Set it for 0 (ZERO)


- Do not show any headers. 


I am creating each room based on this model (PICTURE/THING) 

I am loosing some space but i truly liked how it looked. 


Please shoot any questions you have and hopefully you'll enjoy it!

Really Big Digital Clock & Time Zone option

Den 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by MaxVonEvil 5 years ago 11

My Panel contains all the Tiles I need and there is still 50% of screen available on my tablet. It would be great to have a big digital clock on that extra area. Nothing fancy, no alarm clock, just simple clock.

Weather Station 2.0 in ActionTiles?

andrew kranenborg 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Orange Bucket 5 years ago 4

Any updates on making Weather Station 2.0 work in ActionTiles, i.e. based on this ST community thread:

https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-weather-station-tile-2-0/43833/201

While it works as discussed in the ST App, I can only add these 3 "Things" as separate Tiles in ActionTiles:

Foscam Streaming in AT?

Gblaze 75 5 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 3

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a Foscam IP camera that they cannot stream in AT? I used to be able to do this with the legacy Action Dashboard. Now, any of the URL's that i plug in doesn't work.

Fully Browser - Opening Shortcut and Message "Popups and new tabs disabled"

Justyn 5 years ago in Shortcut Tiles updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 2

Hello, I am sure there is a post related to this already, so if anyone could link me to it I would greatly appreciate it.  I recently setup Actiontiles and the Fully Browser and am getting the message "Popups and new tabs disabled."  Is there a way to open the shortcut in the current page or a setting to change, or do I need to purchase the PLUS version of Fully?  Thanks again for any assistance.

Play music from Yahmah WiFi speakerphone

rysm83 5 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 1

im Looking to purchase a Yamaha WX-010BL WiFi speaker. I was looking to see if I could connect to action tiles and play music and control speaker from a tile simple to I believe how a Sonos works. I wanted to go with Yamaha as I found it on amazon for $79 instead of $150 for comparison Sonos.  I’m currently using an older Bluetooth speaker that’s connected to tablet and have a YouTube link tile.  This opens a new page and music stops playing if I want to go back to my panel   I was looking for a way that would play within actionstiles.  Thank you for any and all suggestions

I have a Harmony activity called "Listen to Music", this turns on my stereo and changes the input to Bluetooth.  I'd like to press the "Listen to Music" tile and have this run the Harmony activity but also have it open the Amazon music app on my Fire tablet at the same time.  Is possible?

Panel Tile layout across screen sizes

Dave Blackwell 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated 5 years ago 3

I have been working with 7" & 8" Fire tablets and have several panels set up.  The formatting and placement of tiles is identical between the 7" & 8" tablets.


Fast forward, now I have a 10" Fire tablet, and it is, of course bigger, and the my existing panels that look nice on the 7" & 8" now are all out of format on the 10".


Had anyone else dealt with this and have any helpful comments or suggestions?


Is there a way to:

1) have separate versions of panels (one set for the smaller screens and one set for the larger screens)?  Without having to set up a second AT account?


2) Put in some hard formatting so that tiles are in the same place, regardless of the screen size in use?


3) ???


Thanks in advance for any suggestions....

Hey Dave... You wrote:

Perhaps you're not aware that you can have as many Panels as you want without needing more than one Account...? 


Only one Panel can be the default 🌟 Favorite, but you can easily use browser bookmarks and/or "Add to Homescreen / Desktop" option to jump directly to the appropriate Panel that you customized for each device or screen size..

Fully browser pull-to-refresh incompatibility

Jean 6 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 8

When pull to refresh is enabled in Fully Kiosk and I scroll down in AT, I cannot scroll back up. The only option is pull to refresh. Same behavior on 2 different tablets and confirmed by the Fully developer. He redirected to AT support. 


Thanks for your help


Feedback from Fully support:

 I can reproduce the issue with Fully Kiosk on Android 6.0 with the latest Webview.

Unfortunately there is nothing Fully Kiosk can change as this behavior is completely in charge of the Android Webview. Probably Actiontiles.com changes something in scrolling behavior intentionally as no scrolling bar appears in Fully (other than in Chrome on the same device). However in Chrome pull to refresh is out of order for this site (other than in Fully). Something is going wrong in the webengine. Sorry, Fully can't change this. Ask Actiontiles guys to make their website more standard compliant.



Android
Answer

Hi Jean,


It should seldom be necessary to refresh ActionTiles, so we recommend that Fully users disable the "pull to refresh" option.


Every ActionTiles page has a RELOAD menu option or button available on it, either on the left-Side-Nav menu or, when viewing a Panel, in the "(...)" Floating Panel Options menu.


Please contact Support@ActionTiles.com if you find you need to frequently reload ActionTiles. It should not be necessary, but we would like to understand what you are encountering.


Thanks,

...Terry.

2x2 tile across 2 tilesets

Shewfera 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 2

Hello all, 

New to smartthings & actiontiles, recently migrated over from wink. 

Now, i know theres ways to do this because i've seen it in the show me your panels posts, however i cant seem to figure it out. 

How does one go about getting a 2x2 o 3x3 tile, to cross tilesets a sit nicely with the other tiles around it. basically i want a 2x2 inset in 2 rows of 1x1 tiles. similar to Venice weather tile in this one.

Thanks!

Answer

6Within a Tileset, tiles go from left-to-right, top-to-bottom, filling in the spaces of the next row if there are any spaces created by double or triple height Tiles.

But there is no way to force a row-wrap within a Tileset except to use sufficient Blank Tiles.

So to achieve similar to the above Panel image, try the following (I'm not even going to test it, 'cuz I want to see if I'm guessing and describing right off the top of my head...)

Width x Height:

  • 2 x 1
  • 2 x 2
  • blank
  • more blanks exactly sufficient to use up the rest of the Row
  • 2 x 1
  • blank

Does that work?

...Terry.

    Help using Foscam R2 V3 with iSpy Connect?

    Son Lee 6 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by scotsman2k 5 years ago 2 1 duplicate

    I had purchased a Samsung Smart Cam and was looking to integrate into actiontiles and was told it wouldn't work because it used rtsp.

    So I did some research and saw a lot of people were using Foscam cameras. So I picked one up. I got the Foscam R2 V3.

    I'm able to login to it using the local ip address and whatnot. but I can't use the same address for ActionTiles.

    So I figured Id try integrating it through iSpy which I read a lot of people were doing with cameras as well. I got the camera integrated into ispy fine, but cant find the IP that software uses to see if that will integrate into ActionTiles.

    Can you offer any help of any kind?

    Thank

    Cristiano

    Ability to Show/Hide Status in Footer

    John Munoz 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 1

    It would be useful to be able to hide the title status on some panels that are mostly graphical.  Instead of showing Open/Closed with the matching icons, just have the icon displayed for a cleaner panel.

    In the uk our heating is just that, we don't have the fans and cooling like the US. it would be nice if the interface was tidied up to hide the 'fan disabled' and the pop up which has controls for it.

    Auto Hide Smart Home Monitor Selection Window

    Major Nelson 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 2

    When you select the SHM Tile a popup window appear at the bottom with the selection Away, Home, Disarm.  

    Once a selection is made, it would be great to have the window automaticaly disappear. 

    As it stand now, the window remain active until you either click the X or anywhere else outside the window. 


     

    Answer

    Hi,

    The popup window is currently set to automatically close 30 seconds after the last tap.

    The upcoming update includes major redesign of the popups, so you concern will certainly be addressed.

    Is there a URL for a specific Tile action?

    Alex 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated 5 years ago 4

    Hi folks - I use Launcher to automate / launch different apps and thing on my iOS devices, I was wondering if there's a way to "click" a momentary contact switch that lives on one of my panels.

    For example, my garage door opener button.  Right now, I'd unlock the phone, click my ActionTiles panel icon (which opens Safari in full screen) and click the button to open the door.

    What I'd like to be able to do, is using Launcher, from a Notification Center widget, click the button on the widget that would in turn click the button on the tile.

    Ignoring the obvious security implications, I really just wanted to see if it would work, or if there's a better solution.

    Thoughts?  Thanks for a killer app and product!
