Hubitat HTML Attribute Display

[Oleg]

Worked like a charm. THANK YOU!

Okay, so I’m struggling and feeling really stupid about now. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but can’t for the life of me figure out what it is.

I’ve followed the instructions to a tee: installed the Maker API app, chosen my devices, allowed access via Remote/Cloud, added the sharptools URL, and copied the endpoint example.

I then created the custom tile, filled in the settings using my device ID and attribute, saved, hit Preview and… I get the following message every time:

I’m sure I’m missing something obvious… anyone have any ideas?

Can you share a screenshot of what your tile settings look like? You’ll want to redact the API Key for privacy purposes of course. Or feel free to PM me the screenshot.

Hi Josh, sure thing… here you go:

[josh]

It looks like you may have edited the settings in the Developer Console just above where the Custom Tile code is defined. Those settings should only be adjusted if you’re a developer looking to tweak the tile.

You’ll want to revert that change and edit the settings directly in the tile instance on your dashboard. There’s some description and screenshots in the following post that should apply here as well:

Weather Tile - Open Weather - Current and Forecast

No. That’s the note from step 3b that you don’t want to edit. You’ll need to revert that change – probably just easiest to restore the Custom Tile definition using the Update from Source option as noted below. Once you have the tile definition back to the originally settings, you want to continue on to step 4 where you add the tile to your dashboard and then edit the settings for the tile on the dashboard. Also note that step 4 calls for the latitude, longitud…

Doh! Okay, got it… works perfectly now! Thanks, Josh.

[Paige_Adams]

So this was working great until a few days ago, now I’m starting to get the following error. I didn’t change anything… any ideas?

[josh]

I would check the Hubitat Maker API (app). Looks like the custom tile is having trouble communicating with that.

[Paige_Adams]

Thanks, Josh. I checked everything and couldn’t make sense of it, but today it just started working on its own again. Must’ve been a temporary glitch.

[Clay_Wilson]

That definitely helps! I think I see where I was going off the rails.

I’m releasing a new version of this which uses the new Custom Tiles: Access to Things and Variables feature.

Import HTML Attribute - Custom Tile

This means you no longer need to setup the Hubitat Maker API. Just pick from the list of devices you already have in SharpTools! Best yet, the updates all happen in real-time rather than relying on polling like the API approach does.

I don’t have any devices with HTML attributes that are still updating in realtime, so my testing of this was fairly limited, but if everything’s working well with it, I’ll update the main post with a link to this as an option. The original API driven version will remain as well if you prefer that.
