HD+ Tile
Create a variety of custom tiles on HD+ without typing on your phone/tablet
Background
There's a lot of device types that HD+ supports which aren't Hubitat apps/drivers. For example, you can create a Calendar tile on your dashboard or an animated radar image.
You can add these tiles directly in HD+ by going into Edit mode -> click on the "+" sign for Add Tile

HOWEVER, entering a URL on a phone or tablet isn't the easiest thing to do!
Solution
An easier way to create these custom device type tiles is to install the "HD+ Tile" device on your Hubitat and set it up on the Hubitat instead. This device supports most of the HD+ tiles that can be added directly on the device and includes Calendar, Image, Stock Tracker, Video, Radar and more
INSTALL HD+ TILE DRIVER
The easiest way is to use Hubitat Package Manager -- select install -> keyword search -> "HD+ Tile"

Next, for EACH device you want to create, create a new virtual device in Hubitat -> Devices page, give it any name and select "HD+ Tile" as the type:
In the driver page pick a device type (ie: image/video/calendar/etc) and enter a URL for it. You can also enter a refresh rate (ie: 30 secs)
see Examples below
Make sure to give the tile a name

Add Tile to MakerAPI
