Hi.
Is there any ongoing work for transforming the iOS app for using the new GUI in OH3?
I have upgraded to a OH3 milestone, just wondering when the family members using iOS will get the benefit of all the new goodies 
You can use OH3 without any App on your iPhones…
Ah, good point. Is there any way to put a shortcut on the home screen?
(sorry if it’s a stupid question. I live in the wonderful world of Android myself 
)
As mentioned by hmerk you can use the webui without any app. Open safari, navigate to your oh instance and save the page as facorite on your home screen. A new icon for oh appears. If you open this the page opens in full screen without the safari header and toolbar.
It’s certainly true that openHAB can be accessed from a browser on a phone, just as it always has. That said, the app provides additional benefits including push notifications and access to openHAB instances remotely.
I for one use my iPhone as my primary device and as much as I love the new UI, I won’t be using it as my primary UI until it’s accessible in the app.
The iOS app has taken leaps and bounds this year, so I’d like to give a big shout out to the developers who’ve worked so hard on it. I have no doubt that it will evolve to include the MainUI eventually.
You can still use BasicUI with your “old” sitemaps with openHAB 3 and use it with iOS app…
Or use Habot instead as the primary interface.
There was some attempt by @digitaldan back in May to add the main UI to the iOS app: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-webui/pull/259#issuecomment-632882344.
So that’s definitely not out of the question - the Android app almost has it already.
There’s a small API for the web UI to communicate with a mobile app, so when in the app, the “other apps” button on the home page calls a native function to “return to the app” instead of opening the drawer.
I updated my little hacked together prototype, it loads all the tiles from OH3 in the side menu, and uses the native IOS app for sitemaps, and a custom webview for the OH3 UI. Its the first time i have really ever touched Swift, so the code is awful, just warning anyone who looks: I checked in my work on my repo, GitHub - digitaldan/openhab.ios at oh3-ui . I have not touched base with @weakfl or @timbms about it.
@digitaldan is there a way to move this new feature to the official ios app? I don’t know how to move the code as app on my iphone 
The new UI is really great Yannick made great work on it! I would like to use this in combination with the push notifications. So a merge of this features would be great.
I would like to second that - I use the iOS app for a lot of things, a lot of my rules are configured to send push notifications to my phone. I would really lilke to see those in OH3
Unfortunately as i mentioned, the code is not great, and it is not tracking if a local or remote connection is made, so not ready for prime time yes. Also, I just realized what I pushed into my branch was a huge change set, which makes it unreadable (messed up merging), but the main file in question is at openhab.ios/openHAB/OpenHABWebViewController.swift at oh3-ui · digitaldan/openhab.ios · GitHub . I’ll open a ticket up and ask about what the next steps are.
Sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but it does fit thematically quite well.
I’d also love to see the new UI in the iOS app, but would use a Safari tab on the homescreen until then.
My problem with it:
Often it looks like everything is loaded and ready to go. However, switches show no reaction and absolutely nothing arrives at the openHAB server. This is a bit critical if you want to operate an alarm system, for example. Is it possible that something is being cached inappropriately?
I really would like, but BasicUI on iOS, from remote, stopped working for me when I switched to OH3…
Working only on local…
Just can say that it is working here…
@hmerk , would you mind sharing the app settings?
Thanks
Sorry, have to revert my last answer, can‘t get it to work anymore 
that means we should investigate further
