Hi @jpage4500, a small thing I noticed, and it might be related to the cloud 'unable to connect to server' issue. I get that, too and I have over 100 devices, BTW. I have a string variable tile for each household member that displays the presence status (I use a string because I plan to expand that display to things like 'at work' 'at school', etc with the multi geofence stuff). They read incorrectly; myself and my daughter show present even though we're not. When I look at the latest activity on the tile the last activity is 'Not Present' at xxxx time, which is correct but the tile still shows 'Present'.
I'm making a guess in that the app loads the txt file on startup which probably has 'present' as the default and because we're not getting the 'get all devices...' message through in cloud mode that these tiles are simple not updating.
No biggie, just thought I'd mention it, I'm still on .2052.
HI - Wanted to ask about RGB vs CT bulb. It's always been a weak spot for me with HE - I have Sengled CT bulbs (and others). The only way I can dashboard control them is to assign device type as RGB.
Would you consider a CT bulb tile? In my thoughts it is a tile with a bulb background, and 2 draggable horizontal adjusters, not just one. One being brightness, the other color temp.
I recognize my tiles based on the color of the draggable button - generically RGB tiles are okay colorizing the slider but the CT has always been odd man out.
Also - can you provide a hard version of the Mobile device icon or tell me where it is? Recent changes stopped my presence display on my mobile item. I now can only show the map marker or the mobile device icon with map marker, not an empty mobile device for 'not present' like I used to.
Thanks for your consideration!

I haven't tested these types of lights in a long time but I'll pull one out and play with it a little bit. I kind of remember looking into a separate CT only device type but I don't remember why I never added it.. I feel like there was some reason though. But, let me get familiar with it again and see.
Also - can you provide a hard version of the Mobile device icon or tell me where it is?
Are you talking about the icon in the top-right of the image below? Sure, I can make it selectable with the other built-in images.
Recent changes stopped my presence display on my mobile item.
The latest version should have fixed all presence issues but let me know if one still exists. I've got several presence types on my dashboard for testing and they all look accurate to me.
NOTE that if you had any custom icons or background colors for these devices they're going to need to be changed. I previously was considering 'away' to use the 'on' state icons and vice-versa but flipped that to be more consistent with other apps/drivers.
Meaning, if you change a presence device to have an orange background for the 'on' state - it'll look like this (where before the on state would have referred to the Away tile)
I'm away from home now and checked the logs (about -> logs). I have debug mode enabled otherwise most of these entries wouldn't show up. That time listed is how long it takes to fetch all devices (~60) from the hub remotely. Most of them are < 1 second
In the latest version of the app, if any of these requests failed the app would use an alternative way of fetching devices. It will also log how long the entire request took too for reference (at some point I want to have the app try both ways a few times and use whichever was the fastest)
Anyway, if you're still having an issue can you send me that device log?
I haven't gotten to this yet.. hopefully I'll have some time Sunday. But, a couple of questions before I do..
are you talking about 2 sliders on the main dashboard tile? I've been trying to move away from sliders and other controls on the main tiles as they're kind of hard to use on a small tile. I was accidentally adjusting the slider while scrolling through the list -- that's why I tried to move them to the long-press dialog.
Is your CT device driver reporting RGB capabilities? I'm not certain I have a light that supports brightness and CT w/out color so I might need to see your device details so I can try and identify it better. The device details won't normally show up in the device log but if you have the app in debug mode and just long-press on the light/device - it'll log the details
I am using a C8 hub.
Remote access was fine a couple of weeks ago (one week ago?)
Something changed with HD+ and now it no longer works.
I know it used to work, as I tested out Android auto. This is where I also noted it not working, when the icons would not update on screen, or change device states.
Thanks for confirming.
Most likely an issue with Maker API as I've tried an older version of HD+ app and the result was the same. Will have to wait for some opinions from the experts
I have the Hue White White Ambiance bulbs and they show up in HD+ with sliders for color temp and brightness. My guess is the driver you are using isn't for your specific bulb. Not sure what bulb you have, but I didn't see any Sengled CT bulb drivers included with Hubitat. You might need to look for a custom driver.
@jpage4500 is it possible for your app to do some sort of Alarm clock function. Currently I have times set for different alarm times and i just turn on the one that I want. Unfortunately these are useless for custom times. Is it possible to set up a tile with a time and have that trigger a rule back in the hub?
Is it possible to adjust a variable via hd+. I start with hd+ and take a detour via SharpTools to set adjust a time variable. And from that point same path as described by @BorrisTheCat .
I posted 2 theories in another thread - technically this thread is about an API that I don't use in cloud mode (/devices/*) but the logic would apply to any cloud mode API. Maybe the request isn't returned fast enough or the cloud API's don't allow more than a certain size response and anything past that will just fail.
The latest version of HD+ will try both endpoints now -- if the first one fails it'll fall back on the old logic which required a lot more API calls -- but each one has a very small response. Once a failure happens the app will use the old logic for as long as it's running.
Anyway, I'd still like to figure out the root cause and if I can - I can optimize the app for everyone.
It's been a while since I tested this but I think I support setting date/time variables
I remember there's logic to show both a time picker and date picker when both are set or just the time picker when only the time is set. Anyway, let me know if this isn't working and I'll test it out
