Glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying things and thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback / suggestions.
User feedback is a key part of how we prioritize what we work on. The more people that show interest in a particular feature request, the more likely it is to get prioritized. (The opposite is generally true too)

Template for Color States
Regarding a template for color states, you can find some discussion on that in the original release thread:
Icons and Colors based on States + Window Shades - #8 by Turo_Jantunen -
Last Update Time
I’m not sure which ‘last update’ time you’re referring to as we don’t have any features with that name and it sounds like it’s in the context of an attribute. My suspicion is you’re using the Hero Attribute tile and displaying a custom ‘last update’ attribute. If so, the formatting of the time in the attribute is dictated by your device handler. -
State Mapping for Custom Attributes
The fully customizable state mapping feature is currently only for Temperature Sensor tiles. Other tile types like Switch, Contact Sensor, and others with a fixed set of states have a simplified state mapping feature. It’s on our hitlist to bring customized state mapping to the Hero Attribute tile, so I’ve noted your feedback in that context. -
Text Icons
The suggested workaround for this is to use SharpTools.io Rules to set a Text Variable with your desired value. You can also configure Variable Tiles with a hyperlink action and then use the$.runRule("RULEID")syntax to run a rule. (Example) -
Title / Main Content Formatting
We’re working on introducing a Theme + Styles concept that would allow more customization over various aspects of tiles. I’ve noted the feedback in that context. -
Uncheck Items in Add Items
Things can be added to the same dashboard multiple times using different tile layouts and the primary intention of the check was to show that you’ve successfully added something to the dashboard. The removal process will likely remain a more intentional set of actions as it is today. -
Location Tile
If you want a single tile that shows the ‘current’ value for any of the location features, you can use the ‘Picker’ variant of each tile. For example, the Mode Picker tile will show the current mode in the tile and when you tap the tile it will present a popup of the different modes you can change to. Most people who use the individual tiles use the active state coloring to indicate which mode is active:
-
Graphing
The most popular approach is to log data to an external source (like Google Sheets), and then embed the chart as a Media Tile. Check out Request: Trending / Graphing / Analytics - #9 by josh for more details. -
Refresh Rate for Kiosk Mode
SharpTools uses push technology to immediately push status updates to your browser. As such, there aren’t any refresh rate type options within SharpTools.
