Can some sort of the mobile app be developed for Alexa show. Would make Alexa Show more usefull.

It has a browser now, so you can use action tiles on it, I believe. But it also has its own visual smart home page which is pretty good.

ActionTiles runs very well in the Firefox browser on the Echo Show (but only stays visible for the default timeout interval set by Amazon… Perhaps they will allow an override someday).

Easy to use on 10" screen.

"Alexa - Open Firefox’, Tap on the ActionTiles Panel Shortcut you pinned to the Firefox homepage unless ActionTiles is still already open.

Web browser is a nice addition. But Alexa show still needs a SmartThings app. :slight_smile:

Don’t hold your breath.

The SmartThings App (neither version) can’t even be logged into on the Amazon Fire tablets … and these are completely capable of running any “normal” Android App.

I would be all over action tiles if I could over ride the default timer.

Or better yet make a an Alexa app for action tiles. :grinning:
