Android app to setup configuration #10

Closed enavarro222 closed 8 years ago

enavarro222 commented 8 years ago

Just an idea: It may be very convenient to have a lightweight android app that can set a Homie device config !

I'm not used to that, but I guest that https://github.com/marvinroger/homie-esp8266/tree/gh-pages can easily be pack in an adroid (or iphone) app ? With lib like cordova (https://cordova.apache.org/)

Well in the future this may be a great addition. But for now you only have to open your browser and go to http://marvinroger.github.io/homie-esp8266/ - just fav it and you're ready to do it in seconds -.

There are other priorities for now. ;)

enavarro222 commented 8 years ago

For sure, this is not urgent. I create the ticket to keep it in mind.

Here you go @enavarro222 Phone Gap build for anroid See #21

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

Oh, that's great! I'll need to add a configurator branch, so that a CI can build assets and publish it to gh-pages, before automatically building the apps on the PhoneGap build servers.

But before I need to finish the configurator, as you can see it is not yet good looking on mobile.

furyfire commented 8 years ago

I only tested it on my 7 inch nexus tablet. The only issue I stumbled across was the OTA not being configurable besides an on/off toggle

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

Yes, it is in a usable form but is still a WIP. ;)

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

It should be complete and responsive, now. Next step is to enable the CI.

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

Alright: https://build.phonegap.com/apps/1906578/share

The configurator sources are on the configurator branch. When pushed to, the CI automatically builds and publishes the distribution version to the gh-pages, so it is accessible at http://marvinroger.github.io/homie-esp8266. Then, it tells PhoneGap Build to trigger a build of the Android and Windows Phone apps. So there is no overhead on our side maintaining the configurator: if you want to collaborate on it, just push on configurator and everything is handled under the hood. :)

Whaou ! so nice ! I'll test that tonight.

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

Please do! I think the circle is complete, now it's time to tell if the whole thing is stable... Or not.

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

By the way, thanks @furyfire for the PhoneGap Build trick, I didn't know there was a cloud service available for that.
