Android App Beta

Hi, i bought an ip cam from dahua and installed the ip cam binding.

I can see the mjpeg stream on my computer in basic ui.

When i use my android phone, i can see it inside openhab basic ui with chrome, but when i open the android openhab app, no picture is visible.

Any idea?

That’s not a known issue. Can you open a GitHub issue?

With the latest beta you can edit home screen widgets.

Any chance of having some kind of security (password?) to change this switch? Some family members tend to touch sitemaps they are not suppose to and they don’t know how the revert the changes they made (I have a few switches in one sitemap that should be only visible to me and the wife)

Android app and tasker works great to control openhab from android.
I’m looking for the opposite way: controlling tasker from openhab.
For example to switch on flight mode if I push the all-off-switch near to my bed or to get alerts, if a window is open.
Therefore I would need tasker profiles that were executed on itemchange.
I realize this with autoremote at the moment - and that works - but it’s very complicated.
My proposal would be a android-app-persistence. Items, that use this persistence were push-updated in the app - so tasker could react to this.
I’ve installed tasker on android tv as well. In combination with autoremote I can now toggle apps (tv/netflix/youtube…) via openhab. This would be working with this kind of persistence in a very easy way…
What do you think?

Please have a look at Tasker plugin and state profiles.

You can secure the access to settings with the device credentials, but this won’t keep them away, obviously. I’m pretty happy with the current solution. You need to go to the settings and turn on this setting. This isn’t something that is done accidentally.

Done

Thank you for the answer and for the fantastic job on this.
My in-laws’ phones are not protected or they couldn’t use them :grinning:. I agree that is unlikely that they change the switch, then change sitemap and then put the house in holiday mode or turn on my bedroom light at 3am…but you don’t know what those phones have suffered so far.

@halloween
Can you test the alarm clock with 2.10.19-beta?

What do you mean with that?

I released 2.11.0 and started the rollout at 20%.

• Improve widgets and Tasker plugin.
• Show only the default Sitemap in the side menu. There’s a new setting to show all Sitemaps there.
• Disable HTTP for new remote connections.

Please look out for any kind of bugs with icons on 2.11.8-beta. This version contains a code refactor of the icon code: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-android/pull/1731

Hi, i am on latest beta and using my config since long time. In the last time i could see a weird behaviour, my Android App connects always Witz remote server, even when i am at home…

Any Idea?

@halloween We’d need an app log to check this. Also, the Android version of your device would be interesting.

I changed the MIUI ROM with Android 8.1 to Android 9 pixel rom on my redmi note 5 - now i only can connect with remote cloud service. I tried https and http connection. The phone of my wife with (i think) android 8.1 is still working with both types of connection.

How can i log the interesting things for you? Should i switch on the logging, then close (even from taskmanager in android) the app and restart it again with logging on?

Will try that, when i´m at home on my private network.

Yeah, that approach sounds good.

Welcome to the openHAB forum.

If you ewant to become a programmer, you’d better start reading the documentation. In there you will find how code is shared.

I need new beta to do this. I know about the meta thanks to shareit for pc sharing at shareitdownloat.net and it’s really great. My data is shared very quickly and unlimited number of shares
