Sharing a screen shot
The AWE dashboard and app have a native drawing and text editor program. But you can also share a screen shot or photo from your phone directly to a specific tile. This means you can use any native program, make a screen shot, and share that screen shot to a tile, where it overwrites any existing display and remains until someone pushed a hard reset (button 3)
Sharing a screen shot from your phone requires the use of the AWE APP that you can find on the Google Play and Apple stores. Once you have the App you can share any screen shot to any of your tiles using your phone’s native share function, typically indicated by the following icons .

By sending messages to your AWE Tile, you can avoid it being overlooked amidst the overwhelming flood of information or use it to share a message during a time, or at a place without mobile phones.
Message your kitchen to remind yourself to defrost your evening ingredients. Or message a Tile next to the bedroom mirror of your partner, where you know it will be seen and read. Announce the time your are coming home to your family having dinner in the kitchen. Or message your grangfather to remind him to take his medicine.
Electronic post-it notes, but then more versatile and permanent. A cooking recipe for your kitchen. The five things you should remember before leaving the house, or 10 resolutions for the year ahead.
Or a simple to do list with important actions you want to get done this week or month. Or maybe a list of Spanish words or names that you keep forgetting.
For the creatively inclined perhaps a daily drawing to cheer up your partner or children who are at home.
Whatever it may be, you can display it on your AWE Tiles. An alternative to direct messages to a phone where it competes with an overwhelming flood of information. Use its fixed location and dedicated functionality to your advantage.
