Hi folks. I thought I would share this work with you. I have not learned how to change states yet from the Pebble app, but have made it show device status. Let me know if this seems worthwhile to continue.
Hey, I have a Pebble myself and the only thing I’ve really been missing since I’ve switched from OpenHAB is a Pebble app. Just thought I’d say that this is definitely worthwhile to continue.
For a weird reason, I can’t install it on my original Pebble: it ends up in the “unsupported” (not sure about the wording, in french it says “Applis non prises en charge”) section of the Android application, and obviously is not installed on the Pebble itself. The really weird part is that the appinfo.json mentions the aplite platform…
I was thinking of displaying all the attributes and if any events for the object, then present those. For example, I am thinking switch objects could fire on, off, and toggle.
I’m not used to use the voice control, so I’ll be happier to see such a menu, but that’s just me (And the fact that my Pebble has no mic probably helps that decision… ;-))
For me personally, control would be my primary use case for this (not viewing) and I’d prefer a menu initially.
Not had chance try this app out yet (mostly as I’m still setting up HA). There are a couple of OpenHAB apps for Pebble and the source is worth checking out for those.
I spent some time with the new Emulated Hue Bridge, https://home-assistant.io/components/emulated_hue/ I’m on Windows and whilst there are issues (I need to find time to make a report on these) it works well enough to see and control devices.
I spent some time in the Pebble App Store and whilst there are many Pebble Hue apps, only one documents source code and only 2 implement config support. I wasted some time attempting to update one of them (I mention this to save someone else repeating my mistake) and eventually did a search on github for hue and pebble and found an incomplete project https://github.com/ngmaloney/hueswitch/ that looked promising. I have a pull request https://github.com/ngmaloney/hueswitch/pull/4 open that matches the download link above.
