Non-admin mode - guest mode only

59wglane 7 years ago in Configuration & Settings updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 1

would it be possible to add a feature to display the system in guest mode/read-only... No access to "..." Menus or anything that can reveal the admin side of the app.


I'm having cold sweats... By the thought of people coming over and as they do....touching the displays and getting into things they shouldn't be. Plus I'm trying to make it easy and clean for the wife to use


Example: Maybe pass a parameter on the tablets you want as "user-mode" only

Panel disappears upon edit or "You are not authorized to view" message

Stephan Hackett 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 7

I got this error after editing one of my panel. I backed out to the MY PANELS page it was no longer listed there at all. It was a small panel so I moved on to editing my home panel...that took quite a while to get setup...same thing happened. I still have links to these GHOST panels in my other panels..but clicking the link gets me the error above. I believe at one point the error also said "this panel is empty" but I cant seem to get that error again.

No "Plus" button to add a location on iOS

jimxenus 7 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Apple updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 9 1 duplicate

FYI,



On my iPad Pro (iOS 10.2.1) running the latest version of Safari, the orange “Plus” button does not show up in the bottom right corner. I also tested on Chrome for iOS and Dolphin browser on iOS as well.


I finally went to my Mac and logged in there and the button showed up.


However, I did see the Add panel button under the “My Panels” tab on iOS.

This is a confirmed bug. ...

We have a (probable) Fix Staged in Beta and waiting for confirmation that it works and doesn't break anything else.

Can't return from Shortcut Tile target in iOS "App mode"

Pieter-Jan Vanmarcke 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 8

Hi,


I created a actiontile with a url which is working great, but I try to figure out how I can return to the actiontile page afterwards. If I doubletick the homebutton on my Ipad I can see the website is loaded in a actiontiles window, but I can't return to it, other than when reselecting the actiontiles button I created on my Ipad Homescreen.


Is there a possibility to do it from within the actiontiles app?


Kind regards,


Pieter-Jan

Two tablets sharing one panel

Amr4packrz 7 years ago updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 5

I currently have two tablets sharing one account and using one panel between both. Previous to the License Key integration both were working properly without any issues. Now for some reason one of the tablets will load and work for a little bit and then be non responsive. I have noticed that the time on the one panel that is non responsive is a couple hours off also when i restart the app. Do I need to create a separate panel for this tablet? Not too sure why it was working previously.

Windows RT Panels

Brian Shellhorn 7 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Windows updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 1

Initially I had one large panel and it worked great, though it wasn't very pretty or easy to find what I was looking for. At the urging of ActionTiles I created many panels and simplified the summary panel to essentially be a panel of links to other panels. I really like the new setup!

The issue is when clicking on the panel links there is a significant delay in moving to aother panel on my Surface RT. Perhaps 5 or 6 seconds. This does not happen on my Android Phone, My windows 10 PCs, or my android tablet.

I know you guyActionTiles had some challenges with RT in the beginning. Is this just a limitation of Windows RT that can't be overcome? Is there something I can do to speed it up?

Thanks in advance!

Product Purchased

john 7 years ago updated by dalec 7 years ago 2

I debated whether or not to take the plunge, but ultimately I decided to vote in favor of the developers and their hard work with my dollars. My hats are off to them for the development of a great product. That said, I feel like this remains a beta product. Critical features remains unfinished such as CSS or other Tileset customization options and simpler, yet equally important, matters such as current non-functioning hyperlinks from Tiles to smartphone apps. I would like to see tile links fixed as soon as possible. Keep up the great work guys!

Shared Panels - Disable overflow menu button?

DanBac 7 years ago in Security updated 7 years ago 2

I was hoping by sharing a panel that I could have it run in what I would call "Kiosk" mode. If I could disable the "settings" icon at the lower right then it would be perfect.


I need a way for the general public to interact with certain lighting controls on an Android device but be able to do nothing else.

Answer

Very valid request, Dan...


And it is already implemented and available in the "Panel Settings" options ☺️!

Set Focus to Search entry in Add Tile function

Adam 7 years ago in Configuration & Settings updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 2 1 duplicate

When pressing Add Tile, could the page focus be automatically set to the search dialog?


This would make searching for devices much easier, and wouldn't hamper standard scolling

Samsung Water Sensor Thing doesn't appear

TomOhm 7 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated 7 years ago 5

Hello,


I have two Samsung Water sensors. One called "Boiler Leak Sensor" and the second "Downstairs Leak Sensor". They are both Samsung Sensors. Both appear in the Samsung Mobile App and the IDE Login page. I can't find the "Downstairs Leak Sensor" in ActionTiles in either of the 3 panels I created. It is not listed in the Panel when I select add things. Not sure what to do. Thanks

Answer
TomOhm 7 years ago

Well... Darn... Now by playing around and creating a new location... it now appears!


Sorry about that. BTW... I really love the update on the new ICONS for things! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

Ability to set Thing default icons in Location view

Moe 7 years ago in Configuration & Settings updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 1 1 duplicate

It would be easier if we could change the icons for things in the location viewer so we don't have to go through the Tile settings every time we add devices to new panels.

Spotify Tile

It would be good to have a Spotify Tile like you get on android Widget for playing music permanently on-screen.

Answer

Direct API Tiles are discussed in a few Feature Request Topics; but such a concept is not on short-term radar.

Featured enhancements...

  • Additional selection of Icons now provided in the Panel Builder under each Tile Settings for types: panel shortcut, contact sensor, presence, switch, and individual routine.
  • Fixed: Shared "Individual Routine Tiles" would be view-only even on interactive Buddy Panels. Labels were also missing under some conditions.
  • Shortcut Tiles on from iOS "Home Screen" (full screen app mode) Panel now open in main Safari instead of blocking the ActionTiles App window.
  • Feature Added: In Panel Settings, Hide floating (FAB) "..." Panel Menu Drawer button!

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

  • 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.
