It works fine now. The tiles are getting refreshed without the control switch turned ON/OFF. Thanks!
Exciting enhancements coming later tonight... 
Be sure to have 'Follow Me' and 'What did I say' updated, if you use them.

Thanks for the updates. It would be nice to monitor battery levels. A single tile that tells me if a device needs new batteries would be great.
Device Watchdog will already do this. 
Hi @bptworld,
I have noticed lately that the tile does not refresh when devices are of type Temperature.
To explain:
- I use your great app for two tiles, one for Contacts and one for Temperature.
- I might be a version or two behind (not at home so I can not check exactly [and no, I have not yet installed your version checker app/tile.
]). - Contact tile works great and keeps refreshing as we have doors/windows open this time of the year - finally spring!
- I have the app set up as real time, have the 'show all option' and have 5 temp devices being watched.
However unless I toggle off/on the control virtual switch, the temps do not update. I have not watched it close enough to determine if it never updates after the initial from the virtual off/on, or if it only works for a day or an hour etc...but it definitely gets stuck.
Let me know if there are any logs you want to see and which those are, happy to work with you to make it better.
For now, I have dropped in a rule to toggle the switch off/on, once a day.
Cheers
Thanks.
Definitely need to update, there has been a lot of changes in the last two versions.
Updated to latest. I'll let you know if the thermo stops updating again.

V1.1.3 - 04/19/19 - Fixed a bug with Presence Sensors
Loaded Snapshot with latest version and followed all instructions. Was at the point of adding a tile to a new dashboard I created called, guess what, Snapshot.
Selected the snapshot tile, then attribute, but no way to add 3rd option of say snapshotSwitch1-6 as an example.
So went back over everything to make sure I had selected the devices and when I went back to adding a tile in the new dashboard the device 'snapshot tile' was missing.
Not sure where to go from here. thanks

Go to the virtual device you created and make sure there is data in there. It won't show up on a dashboard until there is data in the attributes.
I see tons of stuff in the snapshot tile virtual device page. But snapshot tile still does not show as a device in the list.
Alright, then the app is doing it's part. Now let's see how your trying to setup the dashboard.
- Most common reason and not refreshing the dashboard. Get completely out of the dashboard (close your browser). Then open it back up and see if it's there.
- if it's still not there, make sure you have added that device in the Dashboard Configuration page.

I did not add it to the new snapshot dashboard as a device so now that I have I can see the snapshot tile device again! I am now able to create the tiles! Thanks a lot for your help! Rookie mistake!

No problem, glad to hear it's working for you!
Haven't seen that before. Are there any errors in the log? How do you have it setup?
@bptworld Any chance you might add button to the way to trigger the app in the child devices? I suppose I could create a virtual switch that would be controlled by a button. Is that what you kind of intended anyway?
What exactly is this switch for besides refreshing the tile device page?
Also in the snapshot tile device page I see devices listed 3 times. Why are there 3 sets? I see the difference, the other sets are under the state variables.
There is already a switch to control it. I don't put buttons in any of my apps because they can not be controlled by Google Assistant. If a button is what you want, why not make the switch automatically turn off using the option already available with virtual switches?
state.variables are used within the app. Attributes are what are exposed to dashboards/other apps.
Yeh I already made a virtual switch to control the app and put it in the dashboard so all good. Also I did notice they were variables so figured it was used in the app some way. Thanks for the reply.
