[ANSWERED]Apple Watch Extension

I've updated my guide - yes, it should be port 8176, I missed it when transcribing.

Should also have an underscore in front of method I think? :

Code: Select all

http://user:pass@192.168.x.y:8176/actions/NAME?_method=execute

I have finally managed to get it working for devices but actions are still not working for me. I am getting an error in the Indigo Event log of access denied.
I have done a Generate Configuration from Settings and then retrieved the saved configuration plots from iTunes.
I have then compared the userid and password between the device and action url strings and they are exactly the same AFAICS.
For some reason it isn't liking the execute option on actions

Again, no doubt something I have missed - just trying to spot what it is

I assume that this app requires a static IP to work outside the LAN.

Is that the case?

Or a dyndns type service, but I've not tried that or looked at the implications of forwarding 8176 to Indigo from outside.

Hey guys,

I'm the developer of Home Remote, an app a couple of you have mentioned here. If you use the name:pass setting in the app it will use a basic base 64 encoded string as the Authorization value in the header. If you enter it in the URL field then it will be sent "as is".

I'm open to implementing any suggestions you might think are useful.

Thanks.

Hi Gary.

The primary suggestion I'd have is a Mac Config option - the interface for entering long URLs is a pain by its nature; if the OS X app you recently brought out could allow Config of Home Remote, it would be far quicker to create your setup.

That's solved my Actions not working - I discovered that I had previously set-up the name:pass setting in the app when I was playing around trying to get it to work. I deleted it and now its working.

I now have actions working from my watch - brilliant

Yep

I was at work typing the response when I should have been listening to my boss speaking to me, so I seem to have completely messed half of it up!

Updated above.

Thanks. I suspected as much.

Hmm.. so i'm not having much luck with this. It works fine if i disable authentication within Indigo, but with it on (as obviously it should be!) nothing comes through. I don't get any errors of authentication in the log, regardless of the correct details being entered into the url field. At first i thought it was an iOS 9 issue but i've now tested it on the wife's iPad on 8.4 and no joy.

Any ideas?

Some suggestions:

• Check against Peter's summary post (has been updated in place with corrections since original posting)
• Make sure you haven't filled in the Name:Pass field under POST / PUT options

It took me a while to get it working but the effort was worth it

Gary,

When editing a URL, the iOS keyboard has DONE button, which hides it so you can Update etc. When renaming an action, the iOS keyboard instead has RETURN which doesn't hide it so you can't easily get at Update etc.

Aha, I've made an interesting discovery.. It works external to my network.. So when I connect via 3G it works with a domain name, but when connected to my local network it doesn't work regardless of using that domain name or using the local IP address. However it does work if I type the same URL into safari regardless of local or not. It's got to be a network issue of some sort but I have no idea of what... :/

It works on Safari on your iPhone by local IP?

Yeah. I've just tested it with the other half's 8.4 device as it works perfectly there regardless of local/3G, so it's got to be an iOS 9 thing. Ah the beauty of being on the bleeding edge.
