Show website contents in a Tile as a refreshed image?

Elias Obaid 8 years ago in Media Tiles / Website Views • updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago • 7

Hi,


Is there a way to show this site in actiontiles as an image that is updated? It shows the local traffic departures close to my house.

Kind Regards

Great idea, Elias! It actually has been made as a Feature Request from a Beta Participant already...

  • Currently our "Media Tile" can only display images, GIFs, and some limited types of Video Streams.
  • Embedded calendars and even, perhaps, arbitrary web pages are under consideration.

Thanks,

...Terry.

I'm not sure if you can get that info in an RSS Feed but if your able to here is a solution for you.

+1 for this too - Would be awesome to be able to see the below page which shows the London Underground line statuses, resized to a 3x3 or 4x4 tile:

Exactly my idea but for the Swedish metro :) !

It would be great to be able to display a page element in a tile. e.g. the div on this page which shows the rainfall radar on the map.

Embedding an arbitrary <div> from an arbitrary website is not possible.
