Thanks for the new beta, really like the shortcut feature!
Btw.: Is there already a concept how to use the app with multiple openHAB instances at different locations/different ip networks? Is it sufficient to just leave the local setting empty to let the app automatically detect the local instance?
Could we then have shortcuts pointing to pages in sitemaps of the different openHAB instances?
Multiple servers aren’t supported (https://github.com/openhab/openhab-android/issues/10). You can use some workarounds, like setting all server to the same local IP or using the stable version for one server and beta for another one.
Don’t know, what options exists with the desktop shortcuts on Android. But could it be possible “storing” the current openHAB instance along with the link to the shortcut sitemap page?
If this is feasable, it would allow us to
Set first openHAB instance
Select subpage and create shortcut
Set second openHAB instance
Select subpage and create shortcut
… and so on
Seems to me, that later or sooner others would come across this need too
I just tried creating a toggle widget for a light dimmer. I had thought it would allow tapping the widget to toggle the dimmer on and off but nothing happens. Shouldn’t it work for a dimmer?
I did select the state toggle. The options were: on, off, toggle, increase, decrease, etc. I selected toggle. The widget is then created and when I tap on it I see a message popup toward the bottom of the screen that says, “Dimmer set to Toggle” but the dimmer light doesn’t turn on or off.
Can you open a new thread to trouble shoot why the lights don’t change on TOGGLE? The receiving item should either handle the toggle or return an error.
Version 2.8.24-beta migrates the server credentials (user name and password) to an encrypted preference file.
You shouldn’t notice that, but now it’s possible to backup the app. After restoring (e.g. when setting up a new device), you have to re-enter the server credentials.
