Assuming that you put aquarafp1.html in as the template in here;
it should populate on the first event. As that might be a while for some devices I think I'm going to make a small change to drive the first event, and maybe put in a refresh option.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, I did use the same name before, but it still did not populate.
I have inserted aquarafp1.html in the template again.
Not sure how long this process will take, so a refresh option would be ideal.
EDIT: I think I understand now, it's working now after inserting the correct name "aqarafp1.html" and getting the device to trigger an event. smile:

The more I think about it the more I am convinced that I definitely need to trigger the first population at a minimum...

Haven't completely tested this, but it works similar to the Tile Template Device Manager except that the attribute format is:
<%deviceId:attributeName%>
i.e.
<%706:temperature%>

@thebearmay,
Thanks for the refresh option.
I am not sure what has happened, but I've deleted my previous successful setting and tried to set up new devices.
Unfortunately, states are not populating and show "null" only.
Any suggestions?
Also, I get an error with multi-device manager, see below:
Thanks
v0.0.4 adds the ability to create both single device and multi-device templates (in support of [BETA] Tile Multi-Device Template Manager).
Go back to the Tile Template Device Manager and make sure that the device is still authorized.
Are you using Hub Security? If so you'll need to turn that on and give it your ID and password.
Sorry, I forgot to enable Hub security.
But the template is "invalid" and device states show "null" ?
You're attempting to use a single device template in the Tile Multi-Device Template Manager, use the Tile Template Device Manager instead.
Yes, used the single tile manager... but the states do not populate and show null?
Can you post a screen shot of the Settings page (cogwheel)?
Okay, I've deleted all created apps and restarted again (done this several times before as well)...
But finally, I was able to get a reading for a single device.
I made a mistake of selecting the "html device" in the device manager... but I finally have it resolved, the note from multi-device manager helped.
Sorry, for all the newbie questions.

If you don't ask the questions then I don't hear where the rough edges are, so keep them coming. The number of moving parts in this one make it a little more complex than I'd like.

Thanks for your comments.
I am not at my PC now...
But, the next step for me is to tidy up my Dashboard and understand how to edit and apply the html/text files.
At the moment, the default font sizes do not match the stock Dashboard font size, hence it all looks a bit out of place.
Would love to understand how to apply some graphics/colours to the tile.
Maybe if you are able to do a template with some basic font size/color settings etc. then this will be beneficial for a newbie like me. Thanks again.
Hello:
Newbie (to dashboards) question:
Where is the "template Assignments" screen? I can't find it anywhere.
It’s on the Tile Template Device Manager app.
I did that, and entered the app.
I have previosly save a template called: contactTemp.html
I selected it from the drop down (assign temple to devices), but there is no confirmation that I selected it:
