Device Tile Plugin
The Device Tile Plugin allows you to display the current state of a selected device and interact with it directly from the Smart Panel dashboard.
What It Does
This plugin enables dashboard tiles to show:
- The primary state of a selected device (e.g., On/Off, Temperature, Brightness)
- Additional data sources (e.g., sensor values) related to the device
- Interactive controls to toggle or adjust devices directly from the panel
- Quick access to device details — tapping the tile opens a full detail view of the selected device
It’s a powerful way to visualize and control smart home devices at a glance.
Configuration
No plugin-specific configuration is required in the config.yaml file. All setup is done within the Admin App.
Integration Steps
Open the Admin App
Navigate to the Admin App via your browser and ensure your devices are already integrated.
Edit or Create a Page
Go to your desired dashboard page or create a new one for your layout.
Add a Device Tile
Insert a new tile and choose Device Tile as the tile type from the options.
Select a Device
Choose the device you want to display on the tile. You’ll be able to select its primary state (like power status or temperature).
Attach Data Sources (Optional)
You can enhance the tile by adding one or more data sources from the same device (like humidity or battery level).
Save and Sync
Once saved, your configuration is instantly applied. The Smart Panel display updates in real time without requiring any manual sync.
