I am a ST user , trying to migrate to Hubitat.
So far going good. But I have some questions about usability of the dashboard/tiles.
is there a way of controlling/seeing different parameters of the device on a single tile ?
I mean, for example on ST, we have color bulbs and when we select them in mobile app, we can both turn them on/off, and we can also set color / level. From the same item...
on Hubitat dashboard, there is a simple tile. If I use the "bulb" template, I can only turn on/off.
If I select "color bulb" template, then I can select it and go into color/level settings. how can I turn it on/off without going into these settings ?
second, on ST I can reach a detailed thermostat page when I select my thermostat.
However, on Hubitat, there is a very simple Thermostat tile and not much information on the thermostat settings.
Just add another tile. I picked the same device, switch, and then used the location arrows to put it into the same place. Dashboard automatically 'layers' (makes BG transparentish.)
Note: My grid is 2x -- therefore a 1x1 tile (default size) takes up 'half' a tile-space in my layout. Or said another way, the bottom tile is 2 high. For me, a 'normal' tile is 2x2 (2 high, 2 wide) on a grid that is double the standard/default grid.
Also Note: There is no 'to front' or 'to back' so you must add the tiles to the Dashboard from the bottom first.
nice. I've done that and it really solves the color bulb with switch issue.
However, I still have the problem with thermostat.
My thermostat tile does not show much. I would like to be able to control the thermostat like in my Smartthings app setup. Is there a solution to that ?
And, also I want to see recent events of devices on the mobile app.
For example, I want to see when the presence sensor was departed and arrived. How can I see that ?
Not a tidy solution but you can use RM to write the dept/arrived time stamp to a global variable and then use an appropriate tile to display that. You might be able to kludge together a composite tile with superimposed parts or add the values into one display tile using Tile Master.
yes, this is a solution. But really not a tidy and applicable one.
I want to see history of events not just for my presence sensors but all devices.
I can't create many virtual devices to show history of real devices.
I have this issue on most of the tiles.
For example, window shades; on smartthings, I have commands : open/close/stop and level 50%
But on Hubitat, there is a Window Shade tile which only can set open/close or set a level.
I don't see the ability to stop the shade at any point I want.
even if I have the required code in device driver to make it stop.
On thermostat it is another story.
How do you guys interact with these devices ?
I am still looking for a solution to this.
I have several devices with multiple information. Hubitat tiles are not enough to display/control multiple properties from a device.
For example, a multisensor (temperature, humidity, light, UV) , Hubitat shows only temperature.
