YAYAYYAYAYAYYAYAYYYYYYY!!!
Color control works great.
Josh
One small remark.
Since you cant just turn on the flex by tapping the icon (as the new popup appears) could you do either of the following
scenario a
you tap icon, light turns on.
you tap brightness % and the new rgb control pops up with a brightness % slider also
scenario b
you tap icon, new rgb control pops up with a brightness % slider also
heres a mockup of the rgb control with brightness control
Thanks for the feedback. The first slider in the image already acts as the level
or brightness (it sends the command setLevel()
), so I’m not sure I follow what the additional slider would do?
Also note that you can add a device to the same screen multiple times. So if you wanted a copy of your Color Control bulb with quick-access to toggle it on/off by tap, you could copy the tile and then change the layout to the Standard Thing Layout.
I didnt see that it controlled that. i thought it was for hue or saturation. Thank you!
I would argue that clicking the % already opens up the new color wheel, so it would make more sense to have the tile just control on/off, and clicking the lower right corner (%) would open the color wheel.
Fair point. Perhaps it could be a configurable option. This release included some updates to Hyperlinks and Media Tiles where you can choose what the action is upon being tapped… I could see that concept extending to more tiles.
I know you listen to everything we bitch about, and take it all into consideration.
Thanks for the hard work!
Thank you for add this new feature , Can I have a motion event and this event show camera full screen for X seconds…
Any updates on this Google Calendar front? Be really nice to mimic what Dakboard is doing, but with the Smartthings aspect …
We’re still in the R&D phase with the calendar integration.
@josh I came here to do the same suggestion, in the past, clicking the tile will turn on the light, clicking the lower right corner will open the brigness window, so now to just turn on 1 light you need 3 clicks instead 1, you must click the tile, then click the ON button in the new window, then click X or any other area out of that window to close the window.
I really appreciate the additions.
I don’t know if this is the best place, but here are my icon requests
man, woman, boy, girl sliding door/window fence gate sprinkler/irrigation siren/police light
@Mike_Kasper I was just reading through this thread again to see if I missed any requests and realized I never responded to yours. We added calendar and news feed support in one of the releases back in March!
The latest SharpTools.io update includes the ability to pick from a list of Tile Layouts based on the capabilities that a device exposes (along with a bunch of other awesome new features). Thanks again for the feedback!
updating icon requests to add a couple more…
man, woman, boy, girl, dog, fish
sliding door/window
fence gate
sprinkler/irrigation
siren/police light
appliances: oven, refrigerator, laundry washer/dryer
This site has a lot of good icons and they take requests:
Are icons licences bought as a package or are they custom for Sharptools?
If custom what are the specs? I could make some.
We license the majority of the icons, but we’ve custom made a number of icons based on user requests that couldn’t be sourced otherwise.
We source most of our icons from Font Awesome, so we try to follow their ‘solid’ style and approach. All of the icons are SVG and we attempt to target a minimal size for the web - this also naturally lends to following the FA style which is a bit more minimal in nature, has gentle curvature, and isn’t loaded with tons of paths (eg. overly complex polys/shapes)
Josh, could I get 1 .svg file that Font Awesome create? I would like to explore it in Adobe illustrator to take a look at it. I assume they create the icon and you add it to the tile?
