1 of them is mentioned above somewhere but it's an option to stack multiple devices with the same type.. so, 10 lights in a folder would just show up as a single stacked image. I think that would make dedicated folders (ie: "Lights") look better and also allow you to see if any of the 10 lights were on or if they were all off. My issue with this right now is -- how to display these images so they appear stacked? I might just have to create a custom stacked icon for each device type and then have 2 different states: all off or 1+ on (not sure if it's necessary to show 'all on' state)
For the case where there's > 4 devices in a folder, i'm not a big fan of that number displayed in the middle or that asterisk that shows up when something inside was updated. I originally wanted to put these at the bottom-left of the tile but didn't want to make it look like it was related to that bottom-left folder icon if that makes sense.. anyway, I'm open to ideas here how to display > 4 devices in a folder
open door icon which is helpful, but color change icon would be ideal
this should be possible today if I'm understanding this right.. maybe it didn't work before but should work now. If you long-press on any door device -> icon color -> All Door Sensors (select Open only) -> pick color
1 last note.. that theme you're using sets all of the icon colors to blue. There's a few icons that don't look great when I re-color them (light bulb on for example) but for the most part I tried to make sure the UI is consistent and looks good. But, the difficulty comes when you use a custom icon. Today, I'm not doing any re-coloring of any custom icons since it would mess them up.. but, I'll eventually figure out a way to re-color just a single color (white) and leave the other colors alone.. not there yet though
What sort of activity should I be seeing for the thermostat? The last I see in the dashboard is from last night at 7:16. I've raised and lowered the temp, which reflects in the Nest app. The refresh arrow shows on the tile, but no update and nothing in the recent activity.
This is the Google Nest driver, right? I updated the thermostat manually and the tile in the app updated a second later. Seems like there's something not working right with that driver but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. What seems to be missing is HE sending out update events
When I get home, I'll check the driver. It's a few days old. I can't remember if I used the old version. Practically speaking, I don't "need" it on the dashboard. It's just a cool feature to show off when the Pope visits.
Can you explain where this option is located? I can see some tiles such as the thermostat and weather tiles can be two wide but I would like to make other tiles double wide as well.
What about just a drop shadow for a stacked image? That way it will look raised and you don't have to futz with a solution for each icon. You already work to hard for us
Feature requests:
Is there anyway to round the corners of image tiles? Right now the other tiles round, but the images do not.
When we popup an image from an image tile, can we have this image bring up a local application or a URL (in the default browser) if clicked? This would be great for bringing up weather apps or security camera apps (etc.)
that's one of those little details I knew about but never spent time looking into how to change it.. I'll add it to my list and look at it
Makes sense to me. Basically, instead of viewing the image in a large popup, the app would open the browser or a native app, right? Or, are you saying the image would first display in a large popup and then have the option (button or just clicking on the image again) to open up a URL or native app?
I can make any tile double-wide -- but I only offer the option today for tiles that have a different UI when in 'wide' mode (trying to take advantage of the extra space). But, it'd be easy to offer the option for any tile and I can always work on different UI's as needed. What device type(s) do you want to see wider?
weird.. I see the mailbox icons. Not sure why they'd be different than any of the other icons. What happens if you choose 1 of those empty tiles? Does the image show up on the dashboard?
guessing by the URL /mjpg/ that this is a motion jpeg image/feed. Android doesn't support this in their native ImageView component but there's a few open source libraries out there that do. Shouldn't be too hard to add but I'll update once I know more
