Android Widget
I published a beta of the app we’re working on, on the Play Store. To download a beta app, you must be a member of a Google+ community, so here’s the one I set up:
https://plus.google.com/communities/116743687322223015300
Join the community, then follow the “Download - Play Store” link, click the “Become a Tester” button, then download the app!
nice!!! have tested it, the devices (e.g. weather, log-reader) need more cleanup to show the values smarter, but the time will come when it becomes nicer. nice work.
keep it up
EDIT: but now with android 5 i cant add a new account, when i click the o.k. button nothing happens.
EDIT: OK Got it, my wifi was off! 
Really Nice, Will try it today On my Android tablet On the wall.
Is this a demo? I cant add my pimatic Server.
some things:
my kwh meter says 0.09568394583498493 Ampere etc. should be rounded?
devices show “device or contact”, not really necessary?
contacts shows true or false, should be the name specified in the config?
by default the mysensors devices don’t show the battery value, but the app does show it.
Really good work so far !!
Another thing that I discovered
When I am using my phone (galaxy note3, android 4.4.2) in vertical mode, the app crashes at certain pages. If I am using the app in horizontal mode and view the pages they work. When I am flipping the phone upright to vertical mode again all pages work. Anybody else with this issues?
pimatic v0.9 has been released!
Support Pimatic and get some free stickers
Like us on Facebook
make it so !

Thanks for the feedback! The different device types definitely need work. I’m working through the devices on demo.pimatic.org, and my small personal set of devices. Can you post your device info for the devices that don’t work well, and maybe a screenshot of what they look like on the web ui or a description of what’s wrong with it? We should try to add dummy devices for those device types to demo.pimatic.org too. Here’s how you get the device info for a specific device:
http://[my pimatic ip address]/api/devices/[device_id]
here you can see a screentshot of my config.

first picture you can see the system device.
second picture is a shell sensor and a weather 1 device.
third you can see the log-reader
fourth you can see a variables device (Heizung Laufzeit)
and a dummy thermostat device
ass you can see, on many devices the is a string over the temp values with "device"
another improvemenet would be arrange the upper sides to center.

and btw, when i click a switch from a light it goes on and off like it should. But when i slide the switch nothing happens.
Why i cant edit the Connections in the legt menu?
@noxx push the blue field on the left menu "demo@demo.pimatic.org" and then "add account"
You can also use the Android menu to add a pimatic account.
i had do it, the menu open, but if i push on connection, nothing happens
i use Android 5 (CyanogenMod 12)

That’s great feedback, thanks! I’d just rather see a screenshot from the WEB ui rather than the phone, so I can see what it is supposed to look like. I’m already pretty familiar with how the phone ui will look . I’ll fixup these few bugs as soon as possible.
By the way, I’m also thinking we’ll outgrow one forum post pretty soon. Let’s start using the GitHub issue tracker:
https://github.com/dgmltn/android-pimatic-app/issues
I’ve already added the issues mentioned here.

another improvemenet would be arrange the upper sides to center.
I don’t understand what you meant by this
Take a look at my first scrrenshot. The pages wohnen heizung schlafen geräte are not center from left to right. Hope you understand
@dgmltn Well i have a lot of devices, so here are my web interfaces:

Oh, yes, I understand. They’re left justified. But this is normal for tabs on Android apps.

Thanks! Now I’ll compare the web ui, your device config, and the android ui.

Can you show me your config for the “Ping - lemand thuis” sensor? Is this just a presence sensor? I’m wondering how it displays a label instead of an icon.
