Displaying (Custom) Attribute Info - And Attribute Name?

[briguy]

I'm trying to build a dashboard that shows information which are custom device attributes, but on the tile - also have the Attribute Name (or a Free Form Text Field where I can enter a tile name). I don't seem to this capability with the default Attribute Tile type, so curious what others have done?

This works for me, assuming you mean "Attribute" tile that also displays the attribute name:

It is at the top of the tile in my example (but it must be selected in the tile editor, not arbitrary at view time). If that's not what you're seeing, what do you see, and did you customize your dashboard with CSS or other modifications somehow?

Perhaps this is off target but I'd take a look at Tile Builder as presenting devices attributes on a Dashboard is it's whole purpose.

[RELEASE] Tile Builder - Build Beautiful Dashboards

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 multiple devices to be presented on the same tile in a variety of formats. Tile Builder has five child apps for creating different kinds of tiles. 1) Attribute Monitor tiles contain any number of devices for a single attribute. In the following case it's temperature. The table can be sorted by the device name or the attribute value (text or n…

The Tile Builder app is perfect, and seems to do exactly what I need. The Multi Device/Multi Attribute function seems to be good enough.

Still not sure how best to add a label/title on a specific Tile (ie, a Tile with an Attribute - per the original ask), but the Tile Builder actually is better as I can better use the space on the dashboard.

Did you see my reply above?

I did -- and I was still not seeing anything. Just actually mucked with the settings and realized that HideTileTemplateNames was selected in the Options. That seems to fix things.

Thank you!

I just rename my attribute tiles, since I don't like template names on every tile by enabling that setting. You can also give it a clear title instead of seeing the camel-case attribute name.

Here is an example of one CSS method to change a title, that allows you to also change size and position of the title by playing the the numbers for left, top, and font-size.

#tile-5 .tile-title { visibility: hidden; }
#tile-5 .tile-title:after { visibility: visible !important; position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 40%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap !important; font-size: 12px !important; content: "New Title" !important; }
