Sorry if this has been mentioned, in the new dashboard, is it possible to add an option in the tile menu and/or the advanced dashboard options to not use an icon? For example, I would like a text only switch in which only the text (device name) changes based on the item state, i.e. bright white for on, muted grey for off. I think adding a "none" icon in the custom icons may be the easiest way to accomplish this. That way, we can edit templates or individual tiles.
Also, having more control about the text & icons and their positioning inside the tile would be a welcomed addition. I would actually use the icons if I could situate the name above the icon and be able to center both vertically. As it is, the icon forces center if you remove device state, this is a no go for my mild OCD.
My dashboards are displayed using the fully kiosk app on android. You can set it up to display a screensaver or turn off the screen until motion is detected etc.
Mine displays a screensaver which is a picture slideshow. This is done using the dakboard web page.
My dashboards are thru a third party app, Home Remote. It's an amazing app, but it takes a lot of time to get the way you want - I have a thread on it, and if you read it you can see some people get discouraged.
That said and to answer your question, I have it set up so when the lights in the room go out, the app reacts to the state change of the light switch, and loads a black screen/page or a very dim clock.
I've found cheaper devices (non OLED) work better, because at least you can remove the burn in by running an app (not exactly sure but I assume it just burns out the other pixels equally?). But the new OLED screens - I ruined a couple leaving the screen on all the time and it seems there is no going back.
Hi Guys,
I've been using fully kiosk on android an old LG G5 through a 34" touchscreen monitor with DKA for screensaver.
Let me know what you think.
Anyone know how to modify the text size for only one template? I want to have size 0 for some, but visible for others.
