Any idea when the shop will be available again? The 18% off coupon ends tonight but I can't use it if the shop isn't up. 

Answer

The ActionTiles License Shop should now be functional again.


Sorry for the inconvenience... Our Memorial Day-Week Sale temporarily overloaded the Shop and License Generator.

Two same Foscam 9826p v2: one working one buggy

Kibzaru 6 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by MikeT 6 years ago 4

Hi all,


In got two Fosacsm 9826p v2 cams. Everything is the same. Howevet, one stream is loaded consistantly while the other sometimes freez or doesnt load.


Is this a camera thing or something I can fix ActionTiles? Both cameras stream correcly when opened in an ipcam app i.e. Owlr ipcam viewer.


Seems like the mjpeg stream of one camera is not being loaded smoothly. I use the chrome and chromium browser on my macbook and rpi.


Any idea?

Using the thermostat outside temperature in a tile

RonV42 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated 6 years ago 2

I have the Ecobee suite smartapp installed to read Ecobee thermostat and remote sensor data.  Is there a way to take the outside temperature attribute of this device and put it on a tile?  I figured if I am already getting the weather from Ecobee why make calls to other services on the internet.  I am attaching a screen shot of the variable that hold that value as a reference

Utilizing Info, Normal, Accent, and Warn with SmartThings

moblsu 6 years ago in Things & Capabilities 0

I am unclear if this is a possibility, but I had an idea.

Is there a way to utilize the 4 states (Info, Accent, Warn, Normal) to depict different states of a tile through SmartThings? What information is pulled from SmartThings to determine the status of the tile? Is there a specific simulated button or type or something that I can create to make use of this?


I prefer Sballoz (High Visibility) Style...


What I'd like to do... I would like for my "motion" sensors to be in Normal or Info when there is no motion... "Warn" when they are active... "Accent" for 5 minutes after they are active...


If there is a way to use WebCore to create a piston that sets particular aspects of the SmartThings object to particular settings, maybe I could do that? IE If for a motion sensor, "Accent" occurs when the object's battery drops below 25%, "Warn" occurs when the object detects motion, and "Normal" occurs when there is no motion and the battery level is high... Then I could create a WebCore piston to report a simulated object with the desired information...

Is this even plausible? I didn't find much of anything referencing these states when I did a search for it.

French (français) language availability

Betelz 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 2

Hi everyone,


I'm new to ActionTiles and I'm searching how to change the display language to french. Not on the Panel Builder but on the view portion.


I want the clock to display "Lundi" in place of "Monday" and the date to be "28 Mai" in place of "MAY 28". Samething for the presence tile, door lock, etc.


Thanks.

Answer

Bonjour!


At this time, SmartThings is an English language only platform. All the developer documentation is only in English, and, more relevantly, all enumerated state values are explicitly in english, and SmartThings does not yet provide any sort of internationalization / localization / translation engine.


For example, here are the specifications for a "Lock":

https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/develop/api-ref/capabilities.html#Lock



So notice:

  1. The Capability and Attribute is hardcoded to be called "lock" ... not "serrure" (pardon my French).
  2. The ENUM (enumerated) valid State Value are "locked / unknown / unlocked" ... not "fermé / inconnu / déverrouillé".

Samsung is planning to take SmartThings to global markets ("all of them") and is already working on internationalization of stuff; but they have not shared the details of this. We do not know how they will implement translation functionality for SmartApps, or if it will be entirely the responsibility of the 3rd party App itself.


Our resources are limited, so we certainly don't want to spend time on implementing internationalization / localization; especially if SmartThings may provide this functionality for us!


Merci,

...Terry.

"Pages" of different panels?

John Munoz 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 3

I'm a complete noob to AT so I'm sure I'm not doing this the correct way but I'm hoping someone could kindly nudge me in the right direction.  I created my first panel and setup things I'd like visible right up front.  I'm using Fire 7 tables so the screen real estate is limited.  I currently have shortcut's on the main panel that open up my "lighting panel" and another "sprinkler panel" but by doing it this way, it's actually creating a new tab in the browser each time a shortcut is pressed.  


What's the correct way of accomplishing this?

Possible granular Harmony Hub Integration?

Vahid Pournavab 7 years ago in Media Tiles updated by Jerry & Sawrie 6 years ago 13

BTW, great job on Actionetiles app! Clean front interface for smarthings hub was very much needed for a very long time! please keep it going!

So I got my Harmony hub activities to show up as tiles on my panels, but i'd love to be able to have further controls over my individual (AV)devices on the actual tiles. For instants be able to control TV's volume, input, etc in tiles would be awesome!!

Would deeper (AV)device control be possible on the tiles down the road? Perhaps a Harmony Hub integration app?

PVoutput.org graphs as media tile

Stuart Salmon 6 years ago in Media Tiles updated 6 years ago 2

As a preface, I am not a programmer and don't have the ability to code a solution without significant help. I am looking for a way to show my solar panel PVoutput graphs in a media tile.  As far as I can see, the pvoutput.org website uses JavaScript to generate the graphs on the fly using a tool called highchart. There is an option to embed a widget in a webpage showing the graphs ( a script), and even a tool to download a generated SVG or JPG image, but there is no specific URL to an image file itself. 


Thoughts?

Apply Custom Theme to all Panels

I'd like to suggest a way from within the theme designer to apply any one of your themes to all panels across the board without having to go into each panel to set the new theme.

PIN Input doesn't show progress indicators as digits tapped.

Humbug 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 4

hi all,


Now, I'm not sure if i'm going crazy or not but....


I'm sure when i first got ActionTiles about 4 - 5 months ago, when entering the PIN, it used to update and show you having entered a number.  Now, when you press a number it waits until the full PIN has been entered before displaying that you have entered a PIN.


Is it just me actually going crazy or did this change?  If it did change...Can we have the old way back please :)


Cheers

Show user who activated Thing (e.g on/off) in SmartThings "Recently" Event Feed

Brian Beaird 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Sharing updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 1

Is there any way to add some sort of user identification in the device event log in the SmartThings app for who performed the action? This would be nice when sharing panels.

Combine Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Tiles

Jeff Terrace 6 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 0

I use NST Manager to bring in my Nest devices. For the smoke/co device, it brings in three capabilities:


Image 2314

But to show both smoke and carbon monoxide, it takes up two tiles:

It would be really nice if you could combine these into a single tile, since it's really one device with two sensors.

Panel Shortcuts shouldn't transition through white flash.

Shane William 6 years ago in Colors Icons Fonts Themes updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 9 1 duplicate

When going from one panel to another the screen briefly flashes white as it transitions, is there any way to remove that? I have a series of black panels and it's really blinding at night especially.


Might making this transition optional also possibly improve performance when switching Panels?

Icons missing for Routine Tile

adamph 6 years ago in Colors Icons Fonts Themes updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 3

With previously added routines, I was able to change the default icons for the tile in ActionTiles. E.g. a ST routine that turned everything off, I changed the icon to the power symbol. 


I created a new routine today, and it appears I now can only change the tile icon with 8 choices to choose from, 3 of which don't even load up for me (they're blank below).


Thanks.

Hi. 


I have 3 smoke alarm / CO detectors. Two correctly shows the status as clear. The third one shows the CO status as "tested". 


SmartThings, it shows the status correctly.

Icon for AT Panel disappears upon reboot on LG V20 & Galaxy Tab S

Jim Larsen 7 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Android updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 2

Today I  installed ActionTiles on my Galaxy Tab S, Model Number: SM-T800, Android version: 6.0.1 and I loved how easily it loaded fully synchronized from my LG V20 which is running Android 7. I wanted to see how it reacted to an earlier version of Android. I rebooted my Samsung Tab S to make sure that the Icon was fine. NO, once again that little green horned Android Icon came up instead! Terry and Alex, your ActionTiles actually have a problem. I have over 10 Apps with Icons that were made up from 5 different programs installed on this Tablet that have no problems. I have 2 different Shield K1 Tablets that I use with my Drones thst I thought of trying but they are 

new with Android 7. If this is happening to me with different manufacturers and operating systems I'm sure you're just seeing the tip of the iceberg!

Thanks for reporting this issue, Jim;


As discussed, so far there have been no other reports and we cannot replicate the problem. Hopefully other customers who encounter this will contact us via Support or will post a comment and/or this is a problem that the device vendors will fix with a patch to their Android OS customization.

Temperature Icons

Jerry D 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago 3

Hi -- I'm wondering why in the Builder, the temperature and humidity icons have their respective appropriate icons – but in the panel, they show as battery icons. I attached screenshots as an example.


Thanks.


Image 1494

Answer

The icons in screenshots are battery indicators. They show percentage of battery remaining.


There are some enhancement requests to show numeric percentage in addition to/instead of battery icons.
