Hi there,

Looking for ideas. I have a gogogate controlling my gate and garagedoor. I use IFTT and some virtual switches in Smartthings to make them work together. Basically when the virtual switch is ON, IFTT will open the gate. IF Closed, IFTT will close. I can add the switch to actiontile but if someone closes the gate not using actiontile it does not go back to the previous state so next time I want to use it I have to press the button to turn the switch "off" before I can turn it "on" again to open the gate.

Any suggestion to improve this?

Hi,

I would like to know if is possible to embed some hmtl code to a Tile so for instance i could embede a google chart (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/quick_start) into a action tile which would be awesome.

Regards,

Great that you can edit panels in a web browser and view those panels on any device. I would like to make a suggestion that when editing in a desktop web browser an option is provided to set the screen size you are editing so that the tiles maintain the same order and sequence as they would on the device that Action Tiles will be displayed on. Perhaps something like 2048 x 1536 pixels for an Ipad Air being displayed in Landscape mode. No need to have a list of every screen size - just let user enter pixel height and width.

Hello,

So I would really love to know how much a certain light or lights is costing me and have a question. 

would it be possible to add something like this:

User when adding a new tile say a light switch, enters the watts of the given light bulb or bulbs or whatever, then enters average cost of their electricity say .12 cents a kilowatt 

• User enters 1 time electricity cost of .12 cents a killowatt
• User adds a switch or whatever 
• Master bedroom (has 4 light bulbs each 10 watts ) so user enters 40 watts 
• now action tiles will calculate amount of cost and show daily weekly lifetime and so on cost of master bedroom lights 

This would be amazing since it would only have to be entered once by the user and user will constantly have a ballpark idea of their homes electric usage / cost . 

Honestly i would love love to know how much my kids leaving their lights on all the time is costing me lol , or even better how much my outside lights being on all night are costing me and say turning them off 30 minutes sooner or later would save me how much ? 

Sorry for long post 

Thank you ActionTiles team your product is amazing and i have the purchased license!

Hi all,

I'm very new to the ActionTiles App, like 10mins new!!

I have created my 1st Panel with several Tilesets so far.

I have a Tileset for Battery Monitoring for Sensors and another Tileset for Temperatures from Sensors.

I have noticed that when I setup the 2nd Temps Tileset it cascaded the information from the Battery Monitoring Tileset.

Is there a way to stop this as I want to monitor everything separately.  Yes I am OCD with these sorts of things ;).

If there is a way around this or to stop it, any help would be greatly welcomed.

Cheers

James

Is there any way to resize the mode tile?

For some reason it is 2 wide with no option (that I see) to resize.

All my mode names are short. Would love to make it 1x1.

I'm not sure if this is a DTH or Tile type. I want a virtual tile (let's say switch) that controls multiple device (Easy with webCoRE), but if one of the devices that is controlled by that virtual switch changes state, I want the Action Tile to change state to On (without turning on the other devices controlled by simulated switch) thus allowing that device to turn off with simulated switch.

I hope I'm making sense

Hello all...

Functionality is great, but perhaps now we don't need the 2 separate tiles for heating and cooling, but there is no way to tell what mode it's on, so maybe the icon could change to reflect that, also the size of fan status does not change with the tile size as the temperature in the middle does, thanks.

So Amazon just released the echo show.  This was my first purchase in the echo line and so far I think its great.  There's on thing that would make it better!  If actiontiles could work on it!  Unfortunately they don't have a browser for it.  It looks like everything that works on it needs to be an echo "skill".  I have no idea what is involved in developing a skill, but it would be great if you guys looked at doing this.  Seems the community has a lot of echo users, so I imagine something like this would be useful for many. I'd even pay an added fee for it!

Thanks for listening!

There is a way to control only the Volume function in the remote not only activities? The idea is create a Tile with Volume Up/Down.. Thanks a lot!

I read that I can have family members access my ActionTiles account. I am not sure exactly how I am supposed to do that. I had my wife request a subscription to ActionTiles and then she verified the email account; is that the intended method for setting up all my family members so they can access my ActionTiles on their on mobile phones? This is a lot different than the old method.

Hello. I noticed this morning that ActionTiles is not updating my SHM status. If I disarm or arm from the SmartThings app, ActionTiles does not reflect the change. I can still control the SHM from ActionTiles and it works fine, but I thought ActionTiles automatically reflected the changes from the smartapp, at least I think it was since before this morning. Thanks.

Requesting a popup numeric keypad control that would be required to disarm the Smart Home Monitor (SHM).

I can see the usefulness of this. I have four rooms where I would want tablets installed to host dashboards. All would have some items in common, each would have some items unique to that room. I don't have so many "things" that it would be overbearing to create each from scratch, but it would be easier if I could have a common container (Tileset) that only has to be edited at one place to take effect on all dashboards.

Add a setting during tile add/edit to show the tile "view only" locking out changing. This is useful where you want switch/routine/alarm/things to be added as status only tile.

Featured enhancements...

• Make a Copy of entire Panel (use the Panel Builder's menu)
• Copy a Tileset to another Panel (use a Tileset's menu)
• More individual Tile Settings in Panel Builder, including dimension multiples (use the Tile's menu)
• Large Clock Tiles
• New icons are used for each of Smart Home Monitor (SHM) mode. SHM mode selection is now a slide-up-drawer (like a dimmer or Routines selection)
• Music Player Tile: Play & Pause, Play & Stop are reversed to more common app conventions (i.e., shows "pause" button when playing, etc.)

We will update various open "Bug & Idea Topics" soon if their status has been affected.

Overview:

• Some additional tweaks, wording / spelling fixes, and various back-end improvements.

Note:

• This is an update of the front-end web app only. The SmartApp "ActionTiles (Connect) V6", ie the connector to SmartThings, is unaffected. The SmartApp will change very rarely; but, this time, we actually do have a pending SmartApp deployment.
• The version number of the front-end web app is found on the upper right corner of the Login Page and in the About section of in-app Help.
• You will all receive the update automatically and simultaneously as we force a "reload" of the web page after deployment.
• You can use in the Reload App button if you suspect your browser did not refresh to this version.

I've been very successfully viewing a media stream of my Synology Surveillance Station for the last month or so, but it's suddenly stopped working in Action Tiles - the preview no longer displays the stream either. I know the URL is correct as a can copy and paste it into safari and it streams straight away.

Anybody any ideas what might have changed? The stream is in the following format:

Update for your browser compatibility notes: My 2nd generation iPod Touch worked with SmartTiles, but no longer works with ActionTiles.  It is running iOS 4.2.1 and cannot update further, nor can I install any other browsers from the app store.  The behavior is that the login page will not display, so I cannot authenticate to access my panels. I have no idea if the panels would work post-auth.
