Presence tracking built into app using the official Significant Location change API
Customization of the tabs along the bottom so you can put whatever you want wherever you want!
Uses same icons and names that you put into your configuration
Upcoming features:
Fine grained control of entities (think RGB colors for Hue, temperature control of Nest, etc). If frontend currently supports it it will be supported in the iOS app.
My main device failed to install as it runs iOS 9.2 while the app apparently required latest 9.3.
Is v9.3 really necessary for the app to run?
I was hoping to even be able to use an old iphone 4 I had lying around as a “remote” at home for the kids etc.
Therefore supporting older versions would be a nice feature.
I’ll give it a go on my daughters updated phone instead.
I have decreased the minimum OS version to iOS 9.0. I investigated lowering it to 8.4 but found that there would be too many compromises. So at this time, the minimum iOS version will remain at 9.0.
Will that be released as a new version/new invitation?
When I try to install HA though TestFlight via the invitation you sent out TestFlight still says iOS 9.3 is needed.
Thanks for the invite. A small question early on. IOS doesn’t allow you to connect to self signed https certificates by default. I, and likely many other HA people, have a self signed certificate. Connecting over HTTP would also be bad as the credentials would be transferred unencrypted.
Do you have any plans or strategies to support this? IIRC, iOS requires you to compile in any self signed cert keys in order for them to be accessible on an app.
Thanks from me as well for the Invite! Push notifications are one of my primary interests in this project, however I am not quite sure how they are going to work. Is there going to be a another notify service built into HA to send to the app? Like notify.app instead of notify.notify or notify.pushbullet so that we can send push notifications to the app? If that is the case, will we be able to test this feature or will that only be available once the app is released?
Correct me if I’m wrong but this feature doesn’t work yet. Because to get push notifications to your mobile phone you need server-wise access to the Apple-Push-Notification-Service (APNS) & you only get one certificate for the developer himself. So you would always need one central push-relais that sends the pushmessages to the APNS.
I’m personally using telegram. It’s easy, safe & it works.
I’ve been using Caddy for the last few months without issues. Automatically handles the cert creation and renewal, super easy to set up. Highly recommended.
