Super Tiles
Super Tiles enable you to build custom layouts for your devices and variables in a drag-and-drop editor.
Super Tiles are a Premium only feature and can be accessed during your Premium trial period. If you are using the free tier, please send an email to support@sharptools.io if you'd like us to reset your trial so you can give Super Tiles a try.
To get started building a Super Tile, navigate to the Manage Resources tab of your User Page. From there, you can select the Super Tile option and create your first Super Tile.

When first editing your Super Tiles, the states displayed for some Thing attributes may be stale. Once the Super Tile has been added to a dashboard, it will automatically set up the required event subscriptions and show fresh data.
Once you’ve added your Super Tile to a dashboard, you can keep your dashboard open in a separate window. As you make changes to your Super Tile in the editor and press save or Ctrl+S, the changes will immediately show up in your tile.
Use a Super Tile
- Open your dashboard for editing
- Tap the green + icon in the bottom-right corner
- Expand the Other section → Super Tile and select your desired Super Tile
After adding your Super Tile to a dashboard, you can edit the newly added tile instance and customize the styles or label as needed for your dashboard.
