ActionTiles experienced a partial outage on August 3, 2021 at approximately 7pm MST.

For the duration of the outage, ActionTiles was unable to process and update device events. Connections from hubs was gradually restored over the period from 12:30am to 5am on August 4. The outage affected all users (both SmartThings and Hubitat), but did not result in any loss of data.

The root-cause of the issue is under investigation. We will take measure to prevent this from happening in the future.

I would like to have a particular panel open automatically upon certain smartthings events. 

For example, when someone knocks on my front door, my summary panel displayed in AT will change to another panel that just shows the cctv feed of the front door. 

Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks 

Until yesterday I had two tablets with ActionTiles in my home. Both Huawei with different age and models.

Yesterday I noticed that the screen have popped out on the newest due to expanding battery. That tablet have been used for about four years for ActionTiles only. Today I checked my other tablet and the screen was bulging out, most probably also due to battery issues. That tablet have been in use for ActionTiles for about four years too but is older than that. About two years ago I had a similar issue with an older Samsung cellphone at the moment used for ActionTiles only.

I know that most cellphones and tablets are not made to be contentiously charged, but are there certain brands and models that can handle it better? Or are there other solutions to this problem?

Hi there. I am fairly new to AT and it is great.

I have a few of the large echo buttons that do a routine when pressed. Is their a way to get them on AT as a tile at all?

Hi all. I see clocktab looks a useful site but cant work out how to use the countdown timer in AT, any idea please?

Wanted to share my Action Tiles dashboard. Created different types of custom tiles using PHP, google sheets and a hosting server that I own.

1. Upcoming Tile - It reminds you about important upcoming events like birthdays. Example - “Upcoming” tile in the picture.
2. Pay Bill Tile - It reminds you about any upcoming bills and days left. Example - “Pay Bill For” tiles in the picture.
3. Text Tile - It comes handy when you need to give a name to your tile groups or want to remind yourself to order something. Example - “Frequent” and “Order Eggs” tiles in the picture.
4. Days Ago Tile - It tells you that how many days have past for a given event like aquarium water change. Example - “Aquarium WC” tile in the picture.

Please note that I am using the free version of Action Tiles. In case you have any question, feel free to drop them in comments. Thanks!

Custom Tiles

I'm new here so if I am in the wrong place please direct me to the proper sub forum, after much troubleshooting and searching online I have not found an answer.

I have licensed Actiontiles & Fully Kiosk, I want to open one of my apps using intent url with-in the Fully window yet regardless of my settings in Actiontiles using "My shortcuts" and "Tile settings",and Fully's many options, nothing is giving me the result I am looking for.

My cameras via Blue Iris UI3, my weather links etc. all open with the Fully Action Bar visible, but my Smart Life app via intent url (example: intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component= etc. : structure) opens in a new window without the top bar visible. I have tried all three "Tile Content" settings and all produce the same result below with Smart Life app - "Alarm Host".

Thank you

The Security tab with-in Actiontiles as a shortcut intent url is how this is done.

Top bar vanishes and the tablet status bar is now visible, although in Fully I have the Action bar set, even in Kiosk mode.

Recently updated my Samsung Tab A to Android 13.  Since then, screen does not wake up on camera motion or sound or touching the screen.  Only current solution according to FK tech support is to have the screen stay on 100% of the time.  I am worried about that burning the screen.  In the mean time I have resorted to just using Chrome to display the AT panel.  To facilitate ready access, I removed PIN protection on the lock screen so I only have to swipe to restore AT panel when the screen saver comes on.  Anyone have a better solution?

I was just wondering how everyone else is adding their music players to ActionTiles.

I am using an app called Echo Speaks that is added to my SmartThings as a Smart App.

I can control the Echo's Play, Stop, Pause, Volume and Skipping.

Right now, I can only control the Volume of the Fire HDs.

The individual Echo Tiles also show up in their respective Room Panels.  So when I go into the Living Room Panel, the 'Echo - Living Room' tile is in there as well.

Is there any way to change the status/color of a tileset icon when any of it's member icons changes status?  For example, I would like to put a single tileset icon on the main screen for Windows and another for Doors and to have the status of those icons change when any of my windows or doors are open.  This would radically reduce screen clutter.

Any idea what happened to this website? The weather forecast url for AT worked very well, but it disappeared a few days ago.

The website displays a notice 

Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.

Dear All,
Having failed to get tinycam pro to stream cctv to a mediatile, I thought I'd try iCatcher Console (www.icode.co.uk). This is a cctv software with webserver. I can successfully open a browser page to a static jpg image of a stream from the iCatcher webserver, as follows :-

http://192.168.xxx.xxx/image.jpg?feed={1D276D4B-D259-40A4-BE20-6BFB2D580B3C}&quality=50&uniq=1621166943410/image.jpg

however, using this link within a mediatile gives no result, just says invalid url.  I have tried this with & without passing the user/password parameters. Any ideas please?

Has anyone gotten Kore running through AT via Fully Kiosk Browser PLUS edition? Following instructions I've found elsewhere on this forum I believe it should be working but I'm getting an "App not found for intent" pop up.

So in short what I think I'm looking for is Intent information for Kore if available (or confirmation that it is not available".

Thank you.

Is it possible to add more tiles than the ones listed (see attachment). I'm not interested in the weather tile as it is too busy but it would be good to break out the other parameters as separate tiles. The second attachment from the IDE lists all the parameters and several are much more useful than the ones already available.

Does Nest Thermostat work with AT?  I got the doorbell camera to work, but I don't see the Thermostat.  I added the Thermostat to smartsthings and can see it there...but when I try and add the Thermostat by adding the devices from the location, the Thermostat doesn't show up.  

ActionTiles released a native integration with SmartThings Scenes in September 2020. However, the SmartThings API was not ready for production and therefore this feature was rolled back soon after. Only a small set of users were able to install it and even fewer still use it today.

The Scene integration has been redone using a different authentication method and will be available to all users in the coming days.

The existing Scene Tiles will no longer function after March 17, 2021. You will be able to replace them with the new version of Scene Tiles alter this week. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. We believe this is the best way to move forward and allow all users to use this feature.

Thanks

Alex

I am attempting to get actiontiles theme to use a URL for its background. It seems to work when I set it but when I change the image on the web server (the URL remains the exactly the same) it does not  seem to update. Should it update when this changes or am I assuming something is there that is not? 

Cheers, Tony.

I set up 2 panels for my kids to control their RGBW bulbs in their bedrooms. Works great, except that it’s sometimes difficult for toddler fingers to hit the options icon (3 dots) that bring up the color picker. Even I mis-tap on occasion, turning off the light instead of getting to the color picker.

The easiest fix would be just making the 3 dots larger, so it’s easier to press them. I’m brand new to AT, and I can’t find anyway to do this using the tile or theme options available. Even when you adjust the tile size in the panel options, the dots don’t scale with the tile. They seem to always be the same size. Is there a way to do this that I’m just not seeing?

I did find a built-in device type in SmartThings called “Child Color Control”, which only has color, hue, and saturation properties. My idea was to control this virtual device, and then have the actual bulbs mirror it. When I added the device in AT, however, it doesn’t show up on the list of things I can add to my panel. I’m guessing it’s just an unsupported device type.

Are there any other options available to improve this experience? Would love to be able to have a dedicated color picker tile, or have a way of changing the default behavior of the tile from on/off control to just color control. My kids are pretty much never going to turn the lights on and off from the panel.

Thanks!
