Hello,
The Microphone seems not to work inside Ios App.
When you are on the main page, il you click on the microphone icons, you get a message “service-not-allowed” when you are in the ios app.
The same is working well inside Safari.
IOS apps is configured to access the openhab server using https with an official domain name.
So I would except it to work.
Also look into the IOS App settings, but didn’t find anything revelant.
Did I miss something ?
Laurent.
I don’t use iPhones but have a Mac for work and one must give permission to each application individually to access the microphone. Android works the same way but it will usually ask to grant the permission on the first attempt to use it. Maybe iPhone work the same?
As said, I take a look on the setting to verify the access right.
There are some for the network access, for Siri, notifications, Background task.
But nothing about microphone.
I know that generally application need to tell in their manifest which type of permission is need.
Perhaps it is missing inside the IOS apps ?
Laurent.
I hit the same,
I installed my root ca, intermediate, and final server ca, trusted it. Server sends ca chain, but to no avail.
I went around the issue with Safari, shared URL of my server to Home Screen, so it’s just a PWA.
this allows me to use microphone for HABot.
Gemini told me openhab-ios/openHAB/Supporting Files/openHAB-Info.plist at develop · openhab/openhab-ios · GitHub
this file would need a
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires microphone access to listen to voice commands for HABot.</string>
alongside the existing:
<key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key>
<string>openHAB needs access to your local network to connect with the openHAB server.</string>
then instead of immediately refusing access, it should ask, like Android does.
I have never tried habchat on IOS, but yes i can reproduce this, i’ll look into it a bit this week.
Well i don’t think AI is right, the main UI is loaded through a WebView, which uses a different way of granting permissions, which is why there is a “Enable WebRTC” option in the app’s menu under Main UI Settings, other mic related widgets do work, like our video/sip widgets.
well, it made sense to me, but I’m not a iOS app dev, so might well be barking up the wrong tree 
Unfortunately this is a long standing issue with embedded Safari, webviews on IOS do not support speech recognition, it not a mic or permission issue. We would have to write a native bridge to support that and have the WebUI trigger that somehow (and then be passed the input…or something like that).
well, i was wrong about the webview issue part, that is apparently true for saving PWA’s like our MainUI to the home screen as an app through safari, but it does work in a webview if you give the app speech recognition permissions, fix will be in the next test flight build.
