I am using an old iPad 2 as control panel since my first steps w/ OpenHAB 2.4. I think it is a kind of sustainability to use electronic gadgets as long as they work. And it worked until OH 4.2.0. It crashed every once in a while - reboot always helped. And the display is as good as new although it runs 24/7 (before OpenHAB it was displaying an FHEM page for another 4 years or so). Since OH 4.2.1 I noticed that the items on the screen are no longer updated automatically. A refresh does it but this is not WAF compatible. Any chance to get that running again, also on behalf of other users of old gadgets like mine ? Or wasn’t there any change which could explain this, and the old iPad is indeed broken ?
What IPadOS version runs on the device ?
That’s iOS 9.3.5
Ah yes: if I try to run OpenHAB itself the page remains blank. I don’t know whether this was already earlier the case. I tried to log in in order to load a server based HABpanel. This did not work either …
Between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 there was only an ultra minor change in Basic UI, nothing that could break the refresh
A few html lines made the device running again:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10">
</head>
<iframe src="http://openhabian:8080/basicui/app?sitemap=mysitemap
height="1000"
width="1170" style="border:none;"></iframe>
</html>
This html file works on my iPad 2. It reloads the page every 10 seconds. Replace openhabian with your host and mysitemap with the name of the sitemap you want to display. If you want to show another page from here be aware that every 10 seconds the original page will show up again. If you want to access subpages you may need to adjust the refresh time. Perhaps this helps others using legacy devices.
