multiAttributeTiles in Android?

[Mr_Lucky (Bob)]

Known issue, but I don’t think anyone is working on it.

See my earlier report, here:

Migration to V2 - Hurdles and Best Practices

Here’s a hurdle you might want to avoid if you plan on converting your custom devicetypes to take advantage of the new “multiAttributeTile”: Contrary to the 2.0 documentation note that states, *[The multiAttributeTile() type option are currently a placeholder. The specified type does not change how the tile will appear.][1]* …that is most definitely not true in practice (at least on Android). I was modifying my Nest thermostat device handler using a ‘type’ of “thermostat” (naturally), but the SECONDARY_CONTROL text would not render… UNTIL I changed to type:“lighting”. The same thing happened with my EcoNet vents - “generic” seemed to be the best match, but SECONDARY_CONTROL only worked with “lighting” type.

Further down the page, there is an acknowledgement by ST staff member, @unixbeast, where he acknowledged he was able to duplicate the issue, and reported it. Maybe some day…
