After weeks of trying different things I think I have figured out what will work for me.
I’ve got 17 hikvision cameras, soon to be more, running on a Hikvision NVR. I’m running Tiny Cam Pro on a PC inside of NoX Player. Tiny cam pulls the video feeds from each camera RTSP and serves each feed on the Tiny Cam web server. Using Sharp tools I pull each feed and display them on 4 Samsung 8 tablets. I’m still testing but it’s pretty solid. One limit is that Sharp Tool will only display 9 camera’s at once on a single page.
Love your layout! Two questions I am trying to figure out. I am new to Sharptools, coming from Actiontiles.
How did you increase the size of the font on the time tile?
Also, how did you get the background of your weather tile clear? I have the same weather tile, but cannot get rid of the blue background for the life of me!
My WIP dashboard on a Fire HD10. Still tweaking and making changes but happy with it as it is. I was planning to remove the gradient from the weather tile but changed up the colors a bit and made the calendar to match.
Still need to build out my other hyperlinked dashboards to my liking (cough, cough…my wife’s liking ).
Here is one of my Dashboards. I have an Ambient Weather Station that sends data to the internet and I use a Hubitat Hub that utilizes an app that Kurt Sanders wrote. It utilizes some of the data from Ambient Weather to create Devices in Hubitat. For some of the devices that the Kurt Sanders App does not generate. I use Webcore to create Virtual Temperature devices to create additional devices. For example, daily rain measure and dew point are virtual temperature sensors that have been converted from Kurt Sanders’ app.
I use Supertiles to display as much weather information as possible into the tiles.
When lights are on, they turn to color blue.
When windows, doors, water sensors or motion is detected, the tiles turn to red.
I’ve built a universal remote control for the three zones in the house that have audio/video. It controls 3 TVs, a Yamaha receiver and speaker, and a Roku. All services we use are included.
I’ve been looking for a display program to meet my needs for ages, I don’t know why it took so long for me to come across SharpTools. My needs are to pull together data from various sensors spread across my home ranging from Ecowitt weather sensors, WirelessTag temperature probes, Netatmo stuff, HomeKit, WeMo plugs & a Remootio gate opener. I managed to get some stuff into SmartThings and the rest into Home Assistant, but now it all comes together with large ‘at-a-distance’ display fonts that I use in the house - thank-you SharpTools!
I really appreciate the rounded-edge refinements & the animated icons, too.
My favorite super tile is the one for my bearded dragon, monitoring the cool/warm temps, heat lamp, and humidity. Still working out what layout works best. Having a lot of tiles on my kitchen tablet wall mount, I often stand and stare to try to find what I am looking for.
I took the theme from the default ActionTiles theme that I once used before switching to SharpTools.
