Thanks! I’ll take a look at what it would take to loosen the equality comparisons. They’re currently a strict comparison, so we may need to loosen this a bit.
DTH = Device Type Handler, a custom device definition in SmartThings. Equivalent to a ‘Driver’ in the Hubitat ecosystem.
Edit: I would also note that it’s on our hitlist to bring this type of State Mapping / Color Configuration functionality to the Hero Attribute tile layout as well.
I’m glad there is an icon for blinds. I recently installed the IKEA smart blinds and have them set up as a device in SmartThings. When I try and add it to Sharp Tools it doesn’t show up. I went to my account, and manage my connections, logged in to my account, and it isn’t there. Am I missing something. I would love to monitor the blind in Sharp Tools. The blinds are IKEA FYRTUR and are one of the smart blinds in ST.
Thank you, that worked great. I’m new to ST and I always forget about using the classic app to solve problems. I hope they never kill it. What is interesting about the blinds is, ST appears to treat it like a dimmer. In the history you can see how it reports the stages as the blind opens, measured in % dimmed. 100% being fully open. Thanks again.
For some reason my IKEA blind disappeared from Sharptools. I had to use the Classic app to authorize it again. Any idea how this can be done in the new app when classic goes away?
You should be able to use the new app to manually authorize devices that don’t support one of the core capabilities. The instructions in the link @Chris_C posted were updated recently to reflect the steps in the ‘new’ app.
I’ll see if I can prioritize getting a basic ‘open’ variant of the gate icons in place for an upcoming release.
I might have been overthinking it trying to show the ‘perspective’ of the gate being partially open (eg. slanted) and I just couldn’t come up with something that looked nice. It might be easiest just to have an empty gate with just the posts showing.

Hi @Turo_Jantunen - you can find the feature request for Templated Color States here:
Hi I am looking into Sharptools as I am interested in the temperature state mapping - I would like to see at a glance if the temperature at certain devices is outside a particular range. But I need to know if the settings are per tile/device or a general template applied to all temperature tiles, since the reference range will be very different for my refrigerator than it is for my living room.
Not directly, but yes. You can use the Hero Attribute tile to get the custom state mapping for the additional states and can use the special $.runRule() hyperlink syntax along with the ‘Open Hyperlink’ action in the tile.
For the rule, you could have it ‘toggle’ the window shade based on the current state (or whatever action you prefer). Since you’re manually triggering the rule by tapping on the tile, no rule trigger is needed.
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll check that out but also just noticed the nice improvement of long-hold on the shades to bring up the slider. I won’t get that with the Hero tile so will give it some thought and see which way I want to go.
I opened up a feature request to ask for the additional states on the Window Shade tile. Cheers!
I have motorized blinds and remotes for them in Smartthings that I can’t get added to Sharptools. They don’t even appear in my list of devices when I open SharpTools in SmartApps. Any suggestions? Thx.
If the device doesn’t offer at least one of the supported capabilities (or fallback capabilities), it won’t be able to be authorized directly.
Depending on the device, you might be able to find an alternative device handler / driver… or you could perhaps create a virtual device to mirror commands over with.
If you have another supported hub (eg. Hubitat / Home Assistant), you may also be able to authorize the device directly through those.
