Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

Yeah I've been loving my Apple Watch since I got one two weeks ago. I'm eagerly following the development of HomeBridge for integration with indigo. I'm hoping scene/action groups will be supported soon

Action groups is supported by Home Remote, to all Indigo devices:

It would be nice to have an Indigo app though ;.)

Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

Yeah Ive been using home remote, it's just yet another app that I need to use. I'd much rather everything was controlled from one simple place. :)

Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

One advantage of Home Remote is iBeacon. Although it doesn't seems to send the url :-(
I have a ticket open with the developer about the issue.

Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

Gary has now a working release of the Home Remote app, it has been sent to Apple, and should be available in the AppStore shortly.
POST credentials works, iBeacons works.. I'm happy!

Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

Thanks for the update kenjon, and cheers for your help in getting the issue resolved.

If any of you guys have any ideas or things you'd like to see implemented then please don't hesitate to ask.

Version 2.7 has better integration with Indigodomo in the form of digest authentication, meaning you will be able to remove your credentials from the URL string.

I'll post a video of the new features after it's made.

In the mean time, here are 3 promo codes for the iOS version of Home Remote:

Even toggle works, as written in an earlier post.

Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

Hey guys, after speaking with Durosity about an Apple TV version (I did have one planned) I actually spent a bit of time with my dev unit and created one.

I'm not meant to show the app before release, but it's out tomorrow so I can't see it doing much harm.

I don't know if Indigodomo always provides external access, but if it doesn't then there is a great feature here.

Using a feature in the app called Home Remote: Remote, it allows you to send commands from one instance of Home Remote to another, for example, to send commands from an external network to a device on the internal network, if you turn off sleep on your new Apple TV then you can call your actions from anywhere with no port forwarding or DDNS service.

The devices connect over a secure socket connection that is encrypted.

I am going to pull the version in review now and resubmit, so the next version will have Apple TV support!

I normally use a tripod, but didn't for this video, so apologies for the shaky cam.

Indigo Reflectors provide access to a user's home via https and digest authentication.

Looks cool! I'm a bit unclear how you've implemented this - do you mind sharing some more details?

Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

Maybe we should point out that everybody is not using the Reflector. I am just using port forward....

Re: [ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

@jay, do you mean how I implemented the Home Remote: Remote functionality?

If so:

    You first have to sign in to the Home Remote: Remote service within the iOS version of Home Remote. This gives the user a unique ID.

    All versions of Home Remote; Apple Watch, OSX, iOS and Apple TV all sync over iCloud. This propagates the unique ID across all devices you share.

    I have a socket.io server that is protected with SSL, the apps connect to that if a unique ID is present.

    When you send an action on one device, a package is formed with the action ID, along with some other information and sent to all connected devices on the same ID UNLESS the sending device is on a blacklist of networks that you can edit, such as your home one.

    Those connected devices will mirror the action.
