Android App Beta

yes thats the tasker part. you can select a trigger which will fire some actions through tasker. during selection you can choose an openhab item and a specific condition when to fire the trigger (on item update or if an item gets a specific value). i selected a switch for testing but on change the trigger is not fired.

Tasker cannot react on openHAB Item changes, if that’s what you mean. The plugin can only be used to send Item updates from Tasker to openHAB.

I was exploring this myself and was about to file an issue. If Tasker can’t use Item events then we shouldn’t be able to select openHAB as a State trigger in Tasker. I know it’s possible because some apps, e.g. Sleep as Android, do not appear in the list. I don’t know how Tasker plug-ins work though so all I can say is that is appears to be possible to keep it from showing up in menus where it can’t be used anyway.

Thanks for the hint. It should be fixed with Tasker: Don't declare plugin as condition by mueller-ma · Pull Request #2626 · openhab/openhab-android · GitHub

Hello,
In the OH app it is possible that statuses from the mobile phone to items are updated, e.g. alarm clock, battery, etc.
Wouldn’t it also be possible to send the GPS coordinates without an additional app?

And what would also be great, in the button (see picture) become blue when they are on.

That would be possible, it just hasn’t been implemented yet: Integrate Geofence-based Presence · Issue #343 · openhab/openhab-android · GitHub
Geofence and GPS location isn’t exactly the same, but geofences can be implemented in a more battery friendly way.

That would require a permanent connection to the server, which doesn’t work on mobile devices.
Let’s see how Android 12 will make changes here: Android 11 power menu support - #18 by mueller-ma Maybe it’ll add a callback “now the tile is visible” and “now the tile isn’t visible anymore”. In that case the app could query the item state.

@rlkoshak Can you check if 2.17.7-beta fixes this issue?

Looks good. I no longer have an entry for openHAB under State triggers.

Hi.

Anyone else having issues with charts in 2.17.9-beta when using cloud connector?

I have a line chart that works perfectly with the current release (2.17.4) but not with the beta?

The chart just does not display.

Do you have this issue also on local connections?

Hi.

No. Only on remote connection via myopenhab.org using the beta version of the android app.

Thanks
Mark

In version 2.23.5 the app got a Material 3 rework of the Sitemap. Feel free to check it out on F-Droid (should be published there soon) or download the APK from GitHub: Release 2.23.5-beta · openhab/openhab-android · GitHub
