Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

To add SmartThings to ActionTiles, you need to follow a few simple steps. Here’s a detailed guide to help you through the process:

1. Launch the SmartThings mobile app on your smartphone or tablet.

2. Tap on the “Automations” tab at the bottom of the screen. In some versions, this tab may be labeled as “Automate” or “SmartApps”.

3. Scroll through the list of SmartApps and select “ActionTiles V6 (Connect)”. If you don’t see it, you might need to search for it in the SmartThings Marketplace.

4. Once you’re inside the “ActionTiles V6 (Connect)” SmartApp, you’ll see two lists: “Select Things to Share” and “Select Things to Show”. These lists contain all the devices and sensors connected to your SmartThings hub.

5. In the “Select Things to Share” list, choose the devices you want to share with ActionTiles. These are the devices that will be accessible through the ActionTiles interface.

6. In the “Select Things to Show” list, select the devices you want to display on the ActionTiles dashboard. These are the devices that will be visible and controllable from the main dashboard.

7. Once you have selected your desired devices in both lists, tap on the “Next” button at the bottom of the screen.

8. On the next screen, you’ll see a summary of the devices you have selected. Review the list to ensure everything is correct.

9. After reviewing, tap on the “Authorize” button to grant ActionTiles access to your SmartThings devices and data.

10. Now, open the ActionTiles app on your device and tap on “My Locations”. If you haven’t already added your location, you’ll need to do so by tapping on the “Add Location” button.

11. Once you’ve added your location, you’ll be presented with the authorization page. Follow the instructions to authorize ActionTiles to access your SmartThings devices and data.

12. After authorizing, you should see all your selected devices and sensors on the ActionTiles dashboard. You can now customize the layout and organize your tiles according to your preferences.

That’s it! You’ve successfully added SmartThings to ActionTiles. You can now control and monitor your SmartThings devices through the ActionTiles app, providing a convenient and customizable interface for your smart home.

Please note that the steps mentioned above may vary slightly depending on the version of the SmartThings mobile app you’re using. However, the general process of adding SmartThings to ActionTiles remains the same.
