Hubitat C8 2.4.1.177 I've been delving into trying to make a custom device driver for my Mini-Split Air Conditioner. The driver is no problem, but I'm not sure how to put it on a Dashboard. The driver has: A boolean switch (representing cool/heat) A boolean switch (representing on/off) Two vari…

There are some community remote control builder and tile builder devices which may work for what you want. Otherwise, you are limited to the normal templates like switch, dimmer, button, and all that. You could probably use CSS to customize a button or other template. There is a huge thread on here…

[image] neonturbo: There are some community remote control builder and tile builder devices which may work for what you want. Can you link me to whatever you think is most relevant? I've been reading up on some of the CSS tools, but those don't seem to give me the information I'm looking for.…

Just to note - I had found this: [image] [RELEASE] Tile Builder - Build Beautiful Dashboards ⚙️ Custom Apps and Drivers Tile Builder is a novel way of presenting data on a Hubitat® Dashboard. Rather than each tile being a single unique device, Tile Builder allows data from…

I agree with photonclock, this driver should act like a thermostat, but you don't actually need to use the capability in your driver, but you could add it, which might make sense since your driver is actually a thermostat. I have found that dashboard tile templates are only looking for the the capa…

Perhaps if you could mock-up an image of the tile you are wanting to setup, that might make it easier to target any suggestions....

I kinda did exactly that if you look at my first post above. [image] photonclock: Cool/Heat [switch] Set Min Temp [button] [climateTempMinValue TextField] [button] Set Max Temp [button] [climateTempMaxValue TextField] [butto…

Ok. You gave me some ideas here. Yes, it makes sense. I just have to do it to fully grasp it. Thank you!

I wrote a greenhouse controller this spring to run my greenhouse, with vent fans to cool it during the day, and a heater for nights, so I just happened to have recently done what you are asking about using a thermostat tile for dashboard controls. If you don't have a fan mode for your device, you c…

Ok, I pretty much figured it out, along with the original clue that @neonturbo dropped about "adding thermostat capability to my driver". Thank you @chrisbvt ! I also struggled and found my way through the painfully unintuitive inverse logic of the "relative to device?" feature, for making comparis…

[RELEASE] Remote Builder – A New Way to Control Devices - 7 Remotes Available Custom Apps

Remote Builder allows you to create rich virtual remotes for controlling devices around the house. In the initial release there are 3 unique remotes as shown below. Remotes are the virtual equivalent of a physical button remote you might have around the house. Just like most physical remotes, these virtual remotes do not display the state of a device. They are intended to be used in proximity with the device being controlled, so the state is directly observed by the user. [image] Remote Build…

[RELEASE] SmartGrid - Create grids of controls that you can access from anywhere Custom Apps

Although this is a module of Remote Builder I thought it worth creating a separate thread vs announcing it deep within a 6 month old thread where it may go unnoticed by many. In the vein of "A picture says 1000 words" here is an example of what you can create with SmartGrid. [image] Rather than list out all of the things that it can do I think this summarizes it pretty well. [image] Version 4.X.X adds a Custom Sort order, Separator Rows, Customs Rows and Advanced Variables. [image] You …
