Multiple Servers on iOS Apps

Hi!
is it possible to add multiple openHAB servers to the iOS openHAB app? On my android phone this is implemented for ages, but I can’t find the option on my SO’s iPhone.

best regards,

I don’t see that option either.
Why don’t you jump to the GitHub page and add a new request? The dev there is different from the ones working the android app.

Unfortunate. There actually is an unresolved issue with this topic on the github:

Multiple server support

Similar to https://github.com/openhab/openhab-android/issues/10, it would be ver…y useful to me to be able to select between multiple OpenHab installations within the IOS app, say from a dropdown under the hamburger menu. I guess in detail this would require modifying the settings page to allow defining multiple servers, their authentication, and local/remote URLs. **Use case:** I have to OH installations at home and a vacation home, several hundred miles apart. Being able to easily review the status of things and settings at each location I consider to be vital to using any automation system. When at one location or when traveling, I need at times to be able to review what's going on remotely - possibly to let a friend into the house, or ensure lights are off, doors are locked, etc. I wouldn't consider sharing a single server between the two, as I'd prefer the stability of a local OpenHab server for each. This functionality may also be useful to others who want to A/B test server versions, or who are doing R&D. Yes, I can do this via browser bookmarks, but I don't consider that a long-term solution...

So it seems, multi-server support is not implemented yet on iOS

If it is an already open issue for a long time and is very important for you, why not put a bounty on that issue.
A bounty helped finishing main view implementation.
