@lmosenko

are you certain ST is not doing something wrong on the back end which could be translating to this Weather tile issue?

Oh, I am certain.

@nineismine

What about a simple tile that let’s me add a url to an image? There’s a bunch of foscam code laying around that just refreshes snapshot. Cgi and doesn’t need any plug-ins to work.

Nothing is simple. What are you trying to achieve?

Here’s it installed Alex, looks good!

Was able to steal a 5V rail from my alarm system so didn’t have to use a AC to DC transformer

Can you add support for Smoke/CO detectors? I just added a couple of them, and noticed there is no way to add them to the dashboard? Or am I missing something?

There is no support for smoke detectors at the moment. It’s not high on priority list due to reasons described above in this thread.

[/quote]Ok, thanks! Just wondered why it wasn’t there

Think you could add support for Garage Door Controller capability?

In particular, it would be great to both see the status of the door and be able to click it to open/close.

[schettj (John S)]

If you add switch capability to the garage door device type, it shows up/can be controlled as a switch in the Dashboard.

[OBSOLETE] Enhanced Z-wave garage door opener code (for Linear GD00Z and variants)

I’ve made a slight modification to this. On == Open, Off == Closed. This lets you use phrases (Open Garage Door, Close Garage Door) - since it’s a “switch” this kinda makes sense, and gives you better control when using the minimote since you can use press == open phrase, press and hold == close phrase. Don’t know if this breaks the model or not, but seems really useful to me. Just replace on/off stubs with this: def on() { // ON MEANS OPEN log.debug "on() was called" // and ignored" def lastValue = device.latestValue("door"); // if its open, then do nothing if (lastValue == "open") { log.debug "It's already open" return; // if its closed, then open the door } else if (lastValue == "closed") { return open() …

That is exactly what I do with Chamberlain’s MyQ Garage door opener (code from copyninja). It is just a switch on SmartTiles.

I’ve tried that. There are 2 main issues with it, though:

1.) The switch doesn’t actually show the status of the door. It basically just serves as a momentary push-button switch that either opens or closes the door. It should be way smarter than this.

2.) It’s not visually appealing like the rest of the tiles. I don’t see why we can’t use a garage door icon that shows as closed or opened and then triggers the door when you click on it, just like the light tiles.

@brbeaird, @CarlosS

Garage door tile is on the road map. Stay tuned.

You are right, it is just a dumb switch. I have the same problem with my home alarm tile, it is just a dumb toggle switch on SmartTiles. I am glad Alex is adding garage doors in the future, hopefully alarms will also eventually make it.

Sorry if this was posted in the other 600+ post but how do you change the clock to digital?

[dchau11 (DaveC)]

@Eagle72069 Change it under “Other Tiles” option

SmartApps Of The Future " SmartTiles V.10 " (Fun)

Hello All I was having a play around this weekend and started playing with UI designs and how id like to imagine the future of IOT would be controlled . . . Now ive always loved SmartTiles so i thought as a bit of fun i would have a play with where i imagine SmartTiles would be in years to come as more people integrate things with SmartThings and SmartTiles develops its interface and depth as more and more things require dedicated or room specific space in an interface . . . I hope you enjoy and it inspires everyone to keep on fighting for the end goal of a beautiful system and control over our homes and spaces [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] keep hacking & keep inspired. kyle

@625alex Is there any way to get the camera video tiles to display the video on modern IE 11? I know the tiles are using Flash, and I have Flash enabled for all sites, but the video won’t display at all. The reason I want to use modern IE 11 in Windows 8.1 is because:

1. It runs natively in full screen mode with no tittle bars.
2. I got the heck of a deal on HP Stream 7" tablets ($50 each) and I got enough tablets to put them all over the house.

I found that Edge on Windows 10 Beta does play the video feeds in the tiles, but ironically I have not found how to run Edge with no edges.

This looks like a great project. I have a question though. If I am able to add my AVR Receiver to Smartthings to turn on/off, select input, set volume. Is there a tile that could do those functions (specifically set volume or set input) along with updating current volume/input. Or if there is not a tile can i make a tile?

[sdozier (Scott)]

An example device would be like this https://github.com/KristopherKubicki/device-yamaha-rx/blob/master/device-type-yamaha-rx.groovy (i dont currently have this, just trying to figure out what is possible)

Flash is required for Dropcam videos. I haven’t tried or heard anything about the new Nest Cam.

MJPEG cameras should work if browser supports them and don’t require Flash. You can test browser support by entering the video stream directly into browser’s address bar.

You can try another browser, such as Chrome, on this Windows tablet.

There is no such tile, but you can make one by either

• Create your own tile, using the open source.
• Create a virtual button tile then map some action to it.

For example, I have a Virtual Momentary Button tile on my dashboard, it’s labeled “TV on” and does nothing in SmartThings. Then I map it via IFTTT to run “watch tv” activity using Harmony channel (since ST/Harmony integration is not working).

Also, if there is a REST API for your device, you can use my Push to GET utility app. This allows you to add a virtual switch tile and call a custom API.
