Show Off Your SharpTools Dashboards!

Thanks! I imagine GitHub would be the best way to share.

Lets try this. Made it shareable from Google Drive. If it doesn’t work I will wait for the best practice once someone responds.

Here is a link to Michael’s original post for some explanations. I changed the names from ex1 etc to names that helped me remember what each style was for…modified some colors etc, and embedded his background images in the code.

Here is a light dashboard that I am using a few of his “background image” styles. I do quite like them for lights, although I didn’t care for the active bronze so used default image for both default and active.

Almost finished my 30 tile setup. Ive got some tweaking left but my goal was to show off The background during The Day and at night show which lights are on. Pretty happy.

Got a new tablet mount from MakeByMike for my new Fire 10" 2021 the other week and finally got a chance to install it. It is a flush mount (recessed) with a detachable wood cover that using magnets to hold. But I decided just to made a wooden frame around the body and leave it not recessed since I already have a recessed power outlet with USB ports behind it, and I am pretty happy with the result. :grin:

how much faster is the newer Fire if any?

@Dave It is slightly faster than my old Fire 10" (7th gen 2017 model), and you can notice the difference when navigating between dashboards. The 2017 model tends to slow down over time which is not as noticeable on the 2021 model, and both my wife and myself feel the touch is a bit more sensitive/responsive on the new 2021 model, which is definitely a plus when tapping things around.

How do I create multiple pages with the back arrow included?

Hi @Desert_Hills_Drive_H, welcome to the community, when editing the dashboard and adding items in the dashboard, you can tap “Dashboards” to expand and find the Back and Forward navigation tiles at the top of the list. See screenshot below for your reference.

My turn to share after stealing some ideas from all of you :sweat_smile:. We have 2 tablets, one by the front door to be able to arm/disarm the alarm quickly. One tablet upstairs to control the lights and more stuff. Feedback is welcome and happy to answer any questions!

I am still working on the Living Room tab but it is way too empty to share at the moment :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Hey Ryan, are you able to break down how you got your blink camera as a tile on your dashboard? I currently have a blink camera and I would like for it to show live feed.

Been playing around and really enjoying the look. long way to go and clean up still.

Lots of great ideas and the designs. How much time people have spent on their dashboards? I feel I will be going forever to even copy some of these, let alone create my own design.

I am new to Sharptools so can someone suggest some videos or guides for the starters. I have started playing with it but I think I need to learn some tricks before I start building my dashboards.

Hi @Sanjeev, welcome to the community.

@Justin_Newbury has posted several videos about SharpTools dashboard on YouTube, and many have found his videos informational. You should be able to gather some basic ideas from his videos below, and create a pretty dashboard very quickly. For further customizations and applications, feel free to post your needs/thoughts/questions, and I am sure the fellow community members will take care of you. :wink:
