@jazzyjayx I like your tiles. Where can I get the code for SmartTiles?
@whcrist It’s not my code, it’s Alex’s. The link in the first post of this thread (http://smarttiles.click) has a link to his code on github.
@eibyer Which of these do you prefer? (if you prefer either of them to my previous screenshot)

Just wanted to say thanks for this…it’s great! Can’t wait to use it.Out of curiosity, are you using the theming of the tiles to drive the history colors as well. Just curious is all. Again…awesome job.
It would be cool if we could make an “ecosystem” out of SmartTiles and have other add-ons as well. Not sure which others would be necessary but you have proven the ability to add additional cool elements beyond the tiles themselves.
I am really interested in seeing if I can’t find a way to have “app” tiles. Essentially my thought in my house, in my HT room, I have a Harmony remote. I would love to be able to launch that app from the smart tiles as a link…maybe using a URL app call. I wouldn’t want them to take up spots in the set number of links but be a separate category. Also would need to figure out how to handle them…ehhh…I digress…
GREAT WORK

[/quote]Yep. Alex did something very similar in rendering a list of devices, I just copied the styles (which themselves are all from a framework) for my Event list.

[/quote]You can already add a tile that’s just a Link to another site. If that link happens to point to your other ST App, it seems like that would do what you want.
Cool. I found the code. At least, I thought I did. Found it in GitHub. Created it, and Published it For me. But it has not shown up yet. I am assuming it will show up in My Apps…
Alright I set it up. It sent me a text to click to view. It was a user ID and password. I put in my Smart Things credentials and nothing happened. Nowhere else was I asked to set up a user ID and password. What does it want?
@jazzyjayx second one would be my first choice
@625alex I have a feature request.
Would it be possible to create a dashboard of say certain elements like Mode, Temperature etc. and along with that, anything that is “active”?
Let me explain. I am building a new house and am intending to put in at maybe 50-60 switches, a bunch of motion sensors, open/close etc. I was initially thinking of having a “Main” dashboard but with all that, I wouldn’t be able to really see much at a glance.
I was hoping to having the ability to have a main dashboard where at a glance, I could see what was turned on and open or motion sensed. That way I had an idea of what was going on in the house without having to scroll through. The idea would be if a switch was on, I could turn it off from this “active” dashboard and on refresh, it would fall out of the dash.
Ultimately I would have dashboards per rooms or per category for turning things on/off and controlling things but this would be the master that at night I could see what was left on, could arm the security, watch IP cams etc. It would only be information that is relevant.
I would think it wouldn’t be that difficult to check the inactive or active status of a thing and only display based on active status? I haven’t looked into it but thought about this while I was trying to create a logical order for the dashboards.
Thoughts?
Thanks…

You could make an option to change the size, the same way we change the tile size, but i prefer the 2nd one 
I don’t want to make TOO many preferences for the user to set, so I just went with the size you guys chose.
Note that I still need to add the date in there (you’ll notice it only shows time, not date) so some events are going to wrap over to two lines anyway!
A few months ago I was looking for the exact same thing. This might work for you. Opening apps with a URL tile
Also, if you’re on android there is a great Harmony plugin for tasker that will allow you to choose an activity or turn off your system by many different methods. One thing that I have done is add a url link in ActiON settings that calls a tasker task that controls my harmony system. So essentially, creating my own Harmony Tile. I’ve done the same thing for Spotify, where I have a tile that will play/pause and another two for forward and back. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to change icons on the URL tiles and hopefully in the future try to figure out a way to change them dynamically so they function like another switch. Let me know if you want help setting this up. I can make a write up for you.
You can change the color and icon of tiles thru custom css but I just asked Alex a few posts up how to change the tiles for individual dashboard links, which would probably be similar with custom links.
This would be great if we could customize each of those tiles.
We will see what he says, I know he is busy
Load up the same URL in regular Chrome (not a Desktop Shortcut) and see what errors it shows you.
I think Chrome is complaining because you’re establishing an https connection with smartthings.com, but also retrieving insecure data with another domain (your video feed). Sadly, I don’t think there’s any way around this.
my video feed is a till image for sample purposes lol will fix it
edit: fixed it just changing the http with https in the video feed(image)
@625alex, that line above got me thinking. What if the dashboard had control tiles that had read only icons on them. Like within dashboard preferences you could create room or zone tiles and assign multiple sensors. With this you could control and view more on a given dashboard screen.
Say a typical room has a light switch, a contact sensor that reports door open/close, a z-wave lock, and a motion sensor that reports motion, temp, humidity. What if you could merge all that data on one tile? Use all that blank open space we have on dashboard tiles right now.

I’m Loving the Dashboard, but I have one issue and one question.
First, I have a tile on the Dashboard that says “smartthings.” When I click on it it opens a browser and a window that says “Authentication Required” but gives me an error when I put in my Smartthings user name and password. Is there a way to disable this?
Second, I still don’t understand how to change the color of tiles. Is there a tutorial for a non-techie like me?
Thanks,
To anyone who can help me,
I can’t seem to sign into my dashboard. It is asking for a user ID and password. I am using my smartthings credentials, but it is not working. I need help. Thank you.
How did you install the dashboard, using code in IDE?
