Hello Brian. Can I ask a few questions about your dasboard? How did you make the shapes of the light/door/window tiles? How did you make the “favourite” headlines as well? Really nice color scheme of your dashboad btw :smiley:

Where is my new main dashboard after many hours playing with CSS styles.

I set my dashboard to scalable with 6 columns. This gives me small 1x1 tiles. I then set my device buttons to 1x6 so they take up the whole width of the dashboard. I did the same for the favorites heading but changed the style to transparent with mo border.

Thanks for your reply! How do du make the ”Lights” writing to the left of the tile and “1 on” to the right? Do you make those tiles as dashboards?

I use super tiles for all of those.

Thanks for replying :ok_hand:t2:

Sharptools + Homey + Nest Hub/Chromecast = great setup

This took me way longer then it should (despite a lot of chatgtp help), but quite pleased with the outcome. My goal is to keep it clean and only show relevant info at the right time. Flows on the Homey Pro Hub control which dashboard to cast to the Nest Hub/TV, depending on the current situation. Only downside: Homey has to refresh the cast every 8 minutes, as the Nest Hub stops casting automatically. If anyone has a solution to this, I’d love to hear it!

Hi @Hasse, nice screens! I’m testing replacing my Google hubs with Android tablets for more customization options. But I see that you’re casting your own screens to the Hub. Cool! Can you interact with it, or is it cast / view only? In other words, on your first screenshot, do the music controls work? Is the casting done directly from your Homey hub?

Thanks @Wet.Blanket. Yes, the buttons do work! Only downside is that the casts need to be reloaded every 8 minutes and I can see the URL loading. However I make use of this to cycle through different dashboards, showing information like power consumption, weather forecasts, and more. When Homey detects a specific event, such as music starting to play, it triggers a flow that loads the URL to the corresponding SharpTools dashboard.

I mainly use this setup for notifications and information displays, and I can imagine that for a more comprehensive dashboard, a tablet would be more practical. .

I haven’t been active in a long time because was so happy with what I had going. But had some down time and started playing around today. Wow, the new custom tiles are amazing!!! Decided to do a full new setup and love it so far, of course will need to tinker with it more and see what other new features I’ve been missing out on.

(Don’t mind the wall it’s a chalk walk wall for the kiddo and just got erased)

I posted a couple of years ago in this topic . Over the years it has evoled so, here is an update.

I got some inspiration from a recent post on tile css customization , so I decided to try it myself.

It has been fun to play w/ the CSS for a different look. I really enjoyed being able to finally make a supertile side panel that fit with this css method. Thanks again for everyone who posts ideas.

I’ve found ChatGpt to be really good at css and I use it alot for any troubleshooting as i’m new to css.

Nice job?

What are you using for your Tesla tiles?

Stan

Thank you so much… I just made a Super tile. I added the image and then each entry. I used “nth child” css method to make the charging text light up when it was charging. The data comes from homeassistant integration (pretty good, but can lag a minute or so sometimes). For the battery, I used the native guage.
