Amidst all the well-deserved buzz around the new and exciting Tile Builder app, I decided to see how far one could take this "tabular approach" natively within hubiVue.
Survey says... "Not too shabby!" By creating an ultraTile™ composed of 1 Device Tile per linked device/attribute, you get this:
PROS
- No payload size limitations or exposure to CSS
- No dedicated hub-side app(s) or child device(s) required
- Per-device style overrides and text substitutions
- Multiple devices, unlimited attributes w/custom pre/suffix
CONS
- Cannot sort (yet) by activity/attribute value
- Static tile size (e.g. no dynamic adjustment by criteria)
- Initial setup still requires substantial effort
