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.
