Last updated 2 years ago

A "Motion Tile", as you will see, is commonly referred to as a "tile" in our support articles.

A tile is the platform's visual representation of a single on a device. Every tile communicates real-time device point data to Motion's cloud.

Tiles are not the same as points. Read our for more info.

Additionally, every tile comes packed with UX software features that give meaningful value to that specific device point. Motion baked in these tile software features to turn normal device data into a meaningful tool to optimize building device management.

These software features include:

  1. Appearance customization

  2. Easy schedule configuration

  3. Configurable alarm conditions & push notification alerts

  4. Live and historical data charts

  5. Remote device control capabilities
