Known SmartTiles issues will be reported at this link until further notice:
(SmartThings is more likely to be out: http://Status.SmartThings.com)
Anyone know how to get rid of a stuck tile? I have a device that I updated and it removed the momentary option from the device so it doesn’t show up in the things list in the smarttiles app, but it shows on my smarttiles dashboard
Double check the SmartApp settings and state on the IDE website under your Location, find the SmartTiles child SmartApp for your Dashboard.
That will show all the selected Devices. You can possibly escalate to Support@SmartThings.com to try to clean out the record… But they are pretty busy and would probably recommend deleting the dashboard and recreating.
You could also hide the bogus Tile with custom CSS.
Add an repository and call it something like Icons. Create an issue in the repo for each of the images and upload the image. Once you save you have a URL for your image.
Cool got it. Thanks.

Hi, can you share your CSS and where you found those cool icons?
Of course, Let me upload all the icons on github so anyone can access it. then i’ll post the css as well. I got the icons from icons8.com
Cool. Thanks.
I love that setup! It looks awesome! I am getting ready to start mounting mine, will post some pics when I do as I am using an old iPad 3.
I am curious what links you used and how you setup the weather portion?
@tgauchat do you know?
SmartTiles only “officially” supports the plain Weather Station Tile (second from the upper right).
The others weather maps … perhaps @Gietlt can help you with?
For the southwestern region I used Weather Underground. https://www.wunderground.com/US/Region/Southwest/2xpxradar.html
- Under the weather radar map there is a drop down to select your region or state.
- Then right click in the radar and select ‘copy image address’.
- After that I opened another Chrome window and pasted it in URL window to see if I liked the image.
- In the smartTile (connect) app paste the URL in the ‘video stream’ then 'stop motion video stream’
For the 7 day forecast I used my local 9news.com. And right clicked on the 7 day forecast and repeated steps 2-4
To change the tile size I used
.video.tile {width: 480px; height: 240px;} /*Double size for Weather radar and five day forcast */
Which magnets did you use? I have everything else for my tab 8 so far.
For my SmartTiles, under things, weather it says “you can’t currently add this”, why does that happen? I have a weather device and a BloomSky so SmartTiles should have the data from SmartThings.
Here is my post on weather radar/forecast images earlier in this topic…
This is a great example of why SmartTiles doesn’t support very many ad hoc / custom device types (i.e., device types that do not conform to one or more of the official Capabilities… SmartThings doesn’t support Capability Weather.
SmartTiles is hardcoded to only find instances of “Smart Weather Tile Device” which, even though it is an officially “published” DTH, it can only be added manually via the IDE…
###Installation Steps:
-
Login to your IDE shard, My Devices Page:
https://graph.api.smartthings.com/device/list
https://graph-na02-useast1.api.smartthings.com/device/list ; or
https://graph-eu01-euwest1.api.smartthings.com/device/list -
Click “+New Device” button in upper-right corner.
-
Enter an arbitrary Name and Label for this weather device instance.
-
Enter any unique value (such as “SWS1” in the “Device Network Id”
-
For “Type *”, select “SmartWeather Station Tile” from the dropdown list.
-
For “Version”, select “Published”.
-
Select the applicable SmartThings Account Locations from the dropdown list.
-
Select a Hub (not really applicable, but best to fill it in).
-
Click on “Create” at the bottom of the page.
Next, using the SmartThings Mobile App, find your new weather device among your Things and select the Gear Icon to configure it:
Press refresh and the sub-Tiles should show valid data…
Now in SmartApp config pages for your Dashboard SmartApps / “SmartTiles (Connect)” / child Dashboard, you can select and add this (and any additional instances of you create of this device), under “Things” as a Weather Tile:

Is weather currently working in SmartTiles?
Mine has been stuck showing the same temperature for a few weeks now. The time works on that tile, but the temp does not.
EDIT: Went into the tile itself and refreshed it. Now it refreshed on the Dashboard. Must have just been hung up. I’ll see if it updates it self going forward.

We think the device doesn’t refresh itself for some reason, so we re-added a periodic Weather Refresh schedule task in SmartTiles v5.8. (Unfortunately, we had to remove the schedule in v5.7 due to problems with the SmartThings scheduler.
For folks not on the green edition of SmartTiles, I guess … Pollster or something can be used to refresh your Smart Weather Devices?

I used other ones like N32 but they were not strong enough to hold the tablet. 4 of these on each corner works great. You should look for type N52 magnets, they are strong enough even from behind the blank plate.

My garage doors are rotated on my samsung tablet, but normal on Windows 10 and Mac web browsers as well as my iOS devices. Any ideas why?
/* CANCEL ICON ROTATION FOR GARAGE DOOR CONTACT SENSORS /
/ SINGLE DOOR */
.tile.contact[data-device=‘DEVICEID’] .icon i.active{transform: rotate(0deg)}
.tile.contact[data-device=‘DEVICEID’] .icon i.inactive{transform: rotate(0deg)}
