Feature Request - iOS URL Scheme

[1activegeek]

Feature Enhancement Request

Would be great if we could see an enhancement to enable a URL scheme for the OpenHAB app. Something that could allow users to open the app and call objects from outside the application. An example would be Pushover sending a notification with a URL, that can open OpenHAB and turn a switch on for running a bedtime script (turn off lights, drop thermostat, set alarm status, etc). I would imagine something very basic such as utilizing the external call request to the web: openhab:///CMD=ON, perhaps if needed maybe include the site map as well in the call.

This is doable. I think we need to do it in a way compatible with Android app (use the same URI schema). I'm reworking it in Android now, to make it shorter to fit small NFC tags, as soon as I finish that, I will implement the same schema to iOS app

Awesome news. Please let me know if you need beta testers for the iOS app. I'd be happy to play with beta versions to provide feedback if needed. :)

What is the status of this? I'm also very interested in this feature.

Currently the app only announces it's url base to iOS so you can call up the app by opening openhab:// url

Any plans to add deep linking? I've just bought a shiny iPhone 6s with 3D Touch, and I'd love to be able to add OpenHAB actions to Launch Center. Of course, adding 3D Touch support to OpenHAB would be great as well ;)

Same question: any news on deep linking?

@trusk89 - that looks pretty great for a basic illustration of the functionality. It it can allow access to turn things on/off as well, that would be AMAZING! If not, even being able to open the app, and navigate to a portion of the selected sitemap would also be exceptionally useful. Part of my thought here is to be able to have a shortcut on the desktop to launch me directly into my "remote" sitemap, which has controls for audio/visual, plex controls, etc

[alexbartisro]

@1activegeek that's the plan. First I want to add a complete control for an item in that alert, then I'll add an extra scroll to the table, to the specific item. And I love the idea to launch the app with a specific sitemap, from a deeplink. Why haven't I taught of that?

[1activegeek]

Extra food for thought - adapting the new notifications that OpenHAB can send from my.openhab, and allowing them to include a link to open the app and navigate to the item being notified about. This would be nice in case you get something like an Alarm alert, or temp is too high/too low setting, etc. "Opening" the notification can drive the user directly to that item in OpenHAB.

PS - I apologize I'm full of ideas, but not much in the way of content to build/make it happen. I'm not a coder and don't do much even in the realm of scripting. I'm trying to learn and get there, but it's an extremely slow process.

I've added sitemap support http://sendvid.com/7hg6f168

Looks great!!
