I like the simple approach. Work in progress…

I just started using Sharptools and this is what my layout looks like currently. I want to keep it really simple and clean. Used a simple background image copied from the new iOS backgrounds. And stuck with a dark theme so its not so bright at night but still works during the day. I wanted to be able to switch between dashboards so I created individual ones and used tiles on the left to switch between them. I think this is the best way of doing it. If not let me know.

@Tony_Matejek, thanks for sharing.
Yup, that’s the way to go. Or if you want to use a Media Tile with the desired image displayed, instead of the Dashboard Tile, to navigate between dashboards, you can add the Media Tile, and set its tap action to Open Hyperlink, fill in the dashboard’s relative path, ex: /dashboard/view/JqEaD3n6CVpC4aYZtZQo, and Open in Same Window. See screenshot below for example.

This really looks awesome!
The group labels are Virtual Switches, 1X high. I use 50 px tile size.
The labels are blue if every tile in the group is inactive, and red-ish if any tile in the group is active. Not that useful - mostly I did this just because it’s possible to do!
However the Garage Lights label is different, and actually helpful: a Zooz 4-in-1 sensor in the garage provides luminance - in addition to temperature, motion and humidity. So that label is not only red-ish if a smart-switch-controlled light is on, but if any other light source is on - including non-controlled lights in the garage. A glance at the dashboard at night tells me if any light has been left on. (Of course daylight also triggers it, but not usually at bedtime…)

So came across Sharp tools and got hooked!! Went out and bought everything to tie in my smartthings system. With the help of @Justin_Newbury @James @josh I was able to create exactly what i wanted!!

I like your satellite image. Would you mind sharing how you did that? I’m in the Toronto area, so I guess a New York area would work for me.

Hi my friend. I got satellite images from National Meteorological System (México):
https://smn.conagua.gob.mx/es/observando-el-tiempo/imagenes-de-satelite
But I think you can in some way try to look for your spot region, The images are predefined in the government institution site, I suppose has to be a way where you can get same images but focused n your region, I had found a continental one for example, I wish luck with your looking for …
I meant maybe in the same site you cannot, but has to be a site where this images are getting to the government site …good luck !

To add to what @James mentioned, you can can find some good tips on radar images in the following post:

I like the layout! Does the Nest cam give you a constant live feed or is it static images?
Also, for all of your lights, are those smart switches (if so, what kind?) or smart bulbs? I am in the process of transforming my switches to smart ones.
