[BETA] PimaticDroid - Control Pimatic with Android

---

@FrostedKiwi
Hello,
I want to test your APP but the Link seems not to work. This Error comes:

We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server. 

@V1per
did you sign up for the alpha test?
had the same issue after signing up.
i just waited a moment.
It worked after some time. Maybe google needs some time to initiate.

@leader21
You’re right.
First I tryed it without the alpha Testing and it don’t work, then I registed me for the alpha progam but it don’t work too.

But now the download link works

@FrostedKiwi
I have a problem with the App. I have installed it on my Nexus 10 Tablett with Android 5.1.1
After starting the App it ask me for the Server data. I add them and at the Time I pushed the OK button the App cashed.
Now it crashed every time I start it.

Sorry it was my issue. I have set the wrong Portnumber. After deinstall and reinstall now the App works.

@V1per It should not crash though, even if you enter the wrong port number. What exactly did you enter? A special character maybe?
The crash log didn’t give me a lot of information…

No I type the Port 80 but Pimatic needs 8080. Maybe it is because on Port 80 is an other Service (named Volkszaehler)?

The app shows no content. All Server settings are correct. Maybe HTTPS does not work?

For me the same, app doesn’t crash but no content. I am not using https…

@thost96 here the same…

At the first start of the App I don’t see any content too. But now it works.

would be awesome if some screenshots would be added to the app infos inside the store!

@thymian that’s less of a priority at the moment, as I have limited time these weeks.

@ people with connection issues: I’ll try to build in a connection checker and some warnings etc. in the next alpha, so I can debug this a bit better.

Thanks for the great work already. I have been testing on the Z5 and Z2 tablet. My findings so far:

xperia z5:
Menu - settings button doesn’t work (menu on the right side)
keyboard doesn’t automatically open in settings

Z2 tablet:
crash after finished settings and return to home screen, buttons were visible. OK after restart app.
On a tablet, it’s pretty hard to toggle a device with the small switch. Maybe an idea to use the complete line item for toggling?

both:
App crashes when screen rotates
The order of devices and groups is pretty important. Can it “sync” with the pimatic interface?
The button devices with multiple buttons will show on top of each other which uses a lot of space. Possible to align this horizontally?

Idea for widget: Use the existing groups functionality of pimatic to select which devices/sensors you want to see in the widget.

App crashes by me too when I rotate the screen. On both devices (OnePlus One + Nexus 10)

The screen rotation issue is already on the known bugs list, and will be fixed in next alpha

@joenex1 The settings button is removed in next alpha, as it shouldn’t be there.
I’ll try to add automatic keyboard opening in the settings.

I won’t make the whole card trigger an action, as this couldn’t apply to a lot of devices, and it would not be uniform across the app.
I will work on tablet optimizations later though, so we’ll see how to fix that by then.

Order of devices is linked to the groups, so I’ll hope to have that implemented by the next alpha, or maybe the one after that.
Horizontal buttons is hard on phone screens, since they can easily take up a lot of space. I might add a settings option to switch between both.

Widgets will probably be focused on single devices, but I’ll give it a look

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Hello,

@Andi-Tudor Do you mean multiple server configurations? I’m not planning on doing that yet, as it makes the app a lot more complicated, and it’s probably not going to be used by a lot of people.

Can you integrate the options to control thermostats, like the dect-Thermostats from AVM-Fritz!.
Actually i can see the temperature, but i can’t control it.

By the way, nice app to let his wife control pimatic…
