Vera Control (Pebble WatchApp)

Apps & Remote Access
1

I made a Pebble WatchApp called Vera Control. It works with UI7 and UI6 (iOS and Android). For the moment, the app only show your scenes and you can launch them.
Here is my todo list:

  1. Clean the code
  2. Create a GitHub Project
  3. Cache session id to speed up the app.

I have alot of new features I want to add. Tell me what you think!

Unfortunately, I have UI5.

There is an app that does scenes very well (VeraScenes), I know a lot are waiting for an app that allows you to control individual devices.

Still, loaded and saved it to watch the development.

I am running ui7 and your app works great.

Sorting scenes to be shown and/or only showing selected scenes would be great. The same for devices.

phlag,

I’m not trying to step on toes, but I had some free time over the weekend and started in on a vera pebble app to get myself familiar with pebble dev.

So far you can turn on/off lights, run scenes, and get sensor data (temperature, light, and humidity sensors).
It works remotely and over LAN (UI7). Maybe we can combine our efforts?

I know mine has at least 1 bug. If you get data locally then try to access remotely it won’t work and vice versa, you have to update everytime you switch network types so that it knows where to send requests. I just need to put in a check when the app starts to determine where to send requests. I plan on adding dimmer control (you can control dimmers currently, but only on/off), power meter support, door lock support, and camera images (depending on the format vera gives them) in the next couple of days.

I can publish a version 0.0.1 if you want to check it out? Your welcome to check out my code on github for the project (and any one else too who wants to contribute). If your codebase is further along I can integrate the stuff I’ve done into yours. I’m using the pebble.js API. I’ve never done pure javascript code, so making it object oriented was a little odd, but it worked out nicely :slight_smile:

UPDATE: I published an alpha release under the name Vera Home Control. I don’t know how long from publish to store it takes to get the app to appear.

I just released a version 1.1 to the pebble app store. This update allows better control of dimmers, access to home energy monitors, prettier interface, and some bug fixes.

NOTE: Thanks phlag for bringing this to my attention: Until the next release usernames have to be entered in the configuration all lower case. Vera converts the names to lower case when you go to login for you, but I don’t do that yet. I will fix this in the next release. Thanks again.

Unless these are going to merge, can you start a new thread for your app? I installed your app (mainly because I prefer device control vs. scene control) and look forward to updates such as controlling locks and thermostats.

can you public on Github the source code? :slight_smile:
?

The code is public on Github. I thought I posted a link already but I see I didn’t, sorry.

My only request is that people make merge requests with updates/changes/additions instead of releasing multiple apps in order to keep one awesome pebble app. I will happily give credit to any one who contributes to make sure that it’s not just my name appearing in credits.

Thanks for any help.
