LogViewer Android App for openHAB (via frontail)

First of all thanks for your feedback and for using my app!!

Now to the ideas:

  1. Good idea, I will think about improving this!
  2. Yeah, you’re right, (especially on smartphones) the bar at the top is a bit wide, but it’s hard to change because then I would adapt the layout of the website. I don’t know if I will be able to adjust thos, but in the summer holidays I will search for a solution.
  3. a) Maybe I can try to read the incoming data and if new logs come in, I scroll (but currently not a preffered adaption)
    b) I don’t think it is a nice solution to just remove the feature of being able to scroll. Maybe I could try to solve it by deactivating the scroll view, if auto scroll is activated.
  4. Ok, I will rethink it!

From now on I will summarize the new ideas on GitHub under Issues, you can do it as well if you want to in the future.

Thanks again!

I just opened the app and it wanted me to update. The update worked flawlessly. And boom! There are the ideas I just told you implemented in the app. Love it! :heart:

I think the new buttons looks good and

this is exactly what I meant in my original post and works perfectly in the new version.

Nice to hear that you’re happy with the new update.
The work will go on and I will try to work on the other ideas as well.

Greetings!

Starting with 2.16.9-beta the log can be viewed in the official openHAB Android App. It has to be enabled in the settings under “Side menu entries” first.

thanks for this app, i used it often and was happy until i recently switched to oh3 and the app stopped working. is a version for oh3 planned?

26

Thanks for your words.
I’m currently using openHAB 2, I’ll test and see how to resolve it, thanks for your report!

27

thanks for your fast reply.
additional info: i don´t recieve any error. the app connects and opens the log-window including the new top area with the search-field, pause- and day/night-button. but the window stays empty - no entrys are logged.

i am looking forward to your response, thank you!

28

Oh ok, that’s a different behaviour from what I expected.
Do entries appear when you open the log in your browser?

29

yes, i work with winn10 and firefox on my computer, there the log is quite normal. i connect same way in win and in android: ip-address and port 9001

Hi, thanks for your idea and integrating in the official app. I use frontail with an own url separated from openhab. Is there a possibility to add a custom url for that?

How do you integrate frontail, is it a wrapper and use the new color presets from the openhabian installation?

31

@Schnuecks
Tbh I don’t see a problem.
You can customize the whole url as you want it to.

There is a field for “hostname / ip address” and for the “port”. The link then is generated like following:

http://$hostname:$portInt

I just realised I can add a switch for “https” and “http”, but that’s all I can say about it.

Does your link not work with that integration? Then just tell me, I’m gonna add more customization if needed.

Greetings!

I don’t mess with the color configuration, I just open the link in a webview and show the page as is.

The only thing I change in the layout is removing the html element of the bar at the top if it is selected in the app settings, that’s all.

Thanks for your reply. I use the official openhab app but couldn’t find this setting anywhere. My version is 2.17.4

34

Oh, wait a minute.
I did not completely read your message.

I did not add the features of my app to the official one. I have never worked on it.

All I wrote above was describing my LogViewer for openHAB app.

35

No problem. I tried your app but as mentioned by you I need a switch for https and possibility for no port because I use a reverse proxy. That would be great. But I think that would be great if the official app would support it too.

I finally invested some time again in the app and published a new version with some new features and fixes (e.g. support for openHAB 3 and HTTP / HTTPS switch).

See here for the changelog: Release Version 2.2.0 · cyb3rko/logviewer-for-openhab-app · GitHub

I hope you check it out and test, if everything works as you wish.

Greetings!

Thank for your effort.
As is said i use frontail via reverse proxy so i don’t have a port.
Just https://frontail.domain.local, so if you could make a switch that allow to disable the port or a selection for reverse proxy that disables the port usage.

that would be great.

thank you

39

Yes, you do.
Just use port 443.

443 is the default port for HTTP.
That is the reason why you do not need to type it in your URL.

You you had HTTP without “S” the default port would be 80.
