Upcoming Visual Updates

Your on Android I assume, as it hasn’t been fixed yet in IOS. It has been broken since the last IOS App update, so now I have three devices that don’t show power. I hope the IOS fix is coming soon.

Yes, I’m on android. It was working fine before app update.

Same issue with Activity Feed… shows 2 items… on 2.1.3 Android… Galaxy Note 5 Marshmallow 6.0.1

Currently, for me, the only way I can see the complete Activity Feed events is to turn on debug. But then you also have the extra events (gray text on a gray background) you have to wade through :disappointed:

Do you have specific suggestions on how you would like to see the widgets in SharpTools improved? I’m open to suggestions - maybe you have some screenshots of other widgets you really like?

I would note that the widgets in SharpTools originally started out as Shortcuts which are slightly different than traditional Widgets. Shortcuts are just like application icons – they scale like app icons, have labels, can fit in folders, etc. As such, the original design was kept simple to fit within the Android guidelines. I later added traditional widgets that display state (eg. on/off) and to keep in line with the existing design, I styled the new widget like the original shortcuts (1x1 widget).

I would say something more of a flat look. I feel that this would flow better with android marshmallow’s aesthetic

Just an FYI. If you have smarttiles set up. You can go into it and select event history. As a temporary workaround to see your events until the app starts working. I’m sure it’s available on the ide somewhere too. I personally am very new to all this and learning / self educating on the fly.

Not sure if this issue has been posted somewhere but on the newest Android version 2.1.3 I sometimes get multiple widget icons and plus signs. See image for explanation.

I have not seen this one on my note 5 will android 6.0.1

I have seen that at random times since the update. I have other issues too.

I’ve seen this as well in my note 4

On my Smartthings App, how can I see what version I have.

On recent Android versions, swipe from right edge towards the left (or tap the three bar icon in upper right corner), then tap Support in the lower right, then About.

Add a Refresh Widgets widget :slight_smile:

Nice work here. Well done.

On another note: any thoughts on letting us reorganize our things in the list? Alphabetical is neat and all, but I don’t want to have to preempt my things with “Light,” “Door,” or “Presence” anymore. :slight_smile:

Maybe I missed it, but any ETA on when the iOS updates will be released? Seems like android users per this thread already have it.

@david.mccrindle: may want to check font / background colors.

A ticket has been submitted to fix this. Apologies.

You actually have to submit a ticket to fix your own stuff? I’m pretty sure that’s called red tape.

Post it note?

Lol
