need help getting started

Just read about Indigo's integration with Home Remote in the newsletter. Bought the iOS app but can't figure out how to connect it to Indigo.

Re: need help getting started

Thanks--is there a more basic-level tutorial?
That thread didn't help :)

Re: need help getting started

I'm not a full time Indigo user so my experience will not be that helpful in this instance but I will try.

Have you set up the restful API for indigo ( http://wiki.indigodomo.com/doku.php?id= ... stful_urls )

When you know the URLs you need go to Home Remote and select "add action".

Press the "URL" button and then enter the indigodomo URL and action name.

Select "post/put" and then "name:pass". Add your username and password in the format username:password then press "add to action", then "add action".

Pull down your todsy screen and add the widget and see if the button works.

Re: need help getting started

Thanks. I am trying to set up an action to set "Family Room" to 30%.

Does this look right? (with http:// in front of it)

127.0.0.1:8176/devices/Family%20Room?brightness=30&_method=put

Re: need help getting started

You don't need %20, just use a space.

Re: need help getting started

When I tried it without the %20 in my browser, it didn't work. The app doesn't need that, though?

That's correct. The app encodes the command.

Re: need help getting started

You also need to change 127.0.0.1 to the IP address of your Mac.

(127.0.0.1 in IT speak means 'myself' so it will be working fine in browser on your Mac, but won't work in Home Remote on iOS)

Re: need help getting started

That's a good spot too :)

I'm going to set up a wiki tonight and start populating it.

I have a new baby so it might take a while, but centrally t should be a good resource.

Re: need help getting started

Last questions (I think)-
My Internet provider is TimeWarner and I have an Airport Extreme creating my WiFi network. For the IP address, should I use the internal address of the Mac running Indigo server (10.#.#.#) or the external IP address (184.#.#.#)?


I am running Indigo Pro v6 and have "Enable remote Indigo client access" enabled on port 1176. Does that change anything with the setup?


Thanks for all the help-appreciate it.

Hmm...made the changes but nothing happens when I run it.

I edited my previous message after you replied.--
