Image tiles - using website stored images.
Copy the URL into the field and ‘Tadaa’
Yeah , I figured that out. OIm wanting to uses some pictures I have. they are currently stored in OneDrive. I can figure out how to get thin onto my dashboard. I tried generating a link and using that, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Does the link work in a browser where you're not logged into OneDrive? If they do, they should work in the dashboard. If they don't it's a login issue.
Still a work in progress, so the vertical one is pretty lackluster at the moment. Every day or so, I revaluate what is important, most used, intuitive, and reconfigure things. After that, I make them prettier.
I don't usually like dashboards with a background and transparencies (it usually looks to busy and unfocused for me) but you managed to do it and still look clean. I likey.
Thank you! They are indeed Fire 7 tablets. Got them for ~$24 each on eBay, got the mounting frame things for them with power cable on eBay as well. The REALLY nice thing about these only as of very recently, is that I unlocked the bootloader on them, which allowed me to install TWRP, and thus any android ROM I wanted. Picked a very light, fast stock Android, so no more FireOS and LOCK SCREEN NONSENSE. So these turn off (completely off) in the dark, and turn on when there's motion in the light. No more of that black screensaver hack...that's not dark enough for me to sleep.
I think I recently saw that someone has a Fully Kiosk Remote device/app for Hubitat, so I'm thinking about looking into tying the power on state to motion sensors other than the tablet, so they can still work in the dark. Maybe I can even have them automatically switch to a different dashboard per mode? Looking into it...
The design of these, as I said, is a work in progress (more like in constant flux), and I'm doing it all in SharpTools. They make it easy to make really nice looking boards.
Wanted to share a new dashboard I just created that I'm loving. The purpose of my dashboard is a quick glance overview of the status of the house with some control built in.
I decided to use the floorplans I had built in homedesigner as a background and then overlay buttons over the top of the floorplan.
I am only showing one room of my house here as to not give away my entire floor layout to the internet, but you can get the idea. The top pic is with motion active and lights on. Bottom pic is motion inactive and lights off.
I have both up and downstairs floorplans of my house as large tiles on the dashboard. Then, I added motion and door status as well as light control/status on top of those tiles in the position physically where they exist in the house.
I changed the templates of the tiles to be almost transparent when no activity and then red when active (yellow when on for lights).
Now with one glance I can tell where motion is active, if doors are open and if lights are on.
Inspirational, with a little luck I will get my HE in the mail tomorrow...
A couple of you are showing cameras in the Dashboard, is it possible to show the Arlo cameras in dashboard somehow?
this is fantastic! can you show a brief screen shot or other tutorial on how you did this? I am getting lost at creating the rule for say volume up - it would be so easy if you could just take the command in the device page and make them a button in a dashboard
lcw731 what I did is to have a http website working inside my intranet to share all needed files (I used HFS software which is very lite and you don't need to code anything, it will create the website).
On that I have sounds, images, playlists. Then on the dashboard tiles or in the Apps I use the http address just copying the link. Here is the HFS website as an example
Roku is the operating system for the tv. I think tcl and sharp are the only tv manufacturers which use it. You can also buy a Roku stick which you plug into one of the TV's HDMI ports. The driver will only work for Roku TV's or TV's with a plugged in Roku stick. I heard there is another community driver for Samsung TVs as well, but I can't vouch for it.
