Fixes for openHAB 2 & new Pebble firmware

[ghys]

• Moved files to allow importing into CloudPebble again
• Handle new name of items without the 'Item' suffix
• Detect Color items mapped as Switches and Dimmers in the sitemap and act accordingly
• Display mappings labels instead of raw values in menus
• Replaced the 28x28 color logo for the menu by a black & white 25x25 one (new requirements, new menu)

@llamahunter Just for our information: Are you still actively maintaining this repository? I haven't seen much activity over the past months, so I want to make sure that this PR is being looked at by someone.

[llamahunter]

Sorry.. must have missed the PR email. There hasn't been much need for activity on the project for a while, and I don't fiddle with the code when it's basically working, for me, at least.

I'm a bit busy the next few days, but I can take a look at this PR this weekend.

[kaikreuzer]

Ok, good to know that you are still with us, no urgency on the PR, leave your time.

There hasn't been much need for activity on the project for a while

Well, in this case you should consider to close/answer the open issues :-)

[llamahunter]

The open issues seem like minor inconveniences at the moment. Some of them are related to OH2, which, in my experience, still seems sort of 'early beta' quality, and so I've been holding off on upgrading my home install to it until it matures.

This is a false impression, many people use it already productively and it is close to becoming the official release (planned for early next year). So it is definitely time to get the Pebble app ready to work well with OH2!

[ghys]

I'd like to point out that switches, dimmers, setpoints are broken at the moment for those running the latest stable openHAB 2 beta4 - the item types lost their 'Item' suffix (e.g. 'SwitchItem'>'Switch') as reported by the REST API some time in August. This is the main issue addressed in this PR :)

[llamahunter]

Alrighty. I'll give OH2 another go and verify this PR with it this weekend.

Finally got my system updated to openhab 2.0 (took a lot of time, and still not everything works yet). Anyway, when I try this change, it fails due to the startsWith() method not existing.

Are you using iOS or Android? I've seen differences in the past between what javascript functions are available to the pebble scripts.

[llamahunter]

I found this shim for String.prototype.startsWith() that seems to work. It's MIT licensed, so that should be ok to include in the openhab.pebble distribution, I think.

https://github.com/mathiasbynens/String.prototype.startsWith

I dropped the contents into a new file 'startswith.js' and then in page.js added a require('startswith')

[ghys]

Oh, bummer. Sorry about this - those can be replaced rather safely with indexOf(...) == 0 as an alternative if you don't want to include the shim. Your call.

[digitaldan]

@ghys @llamahunter is this ready to be merged and pushed to the store?

[ghys]

@digitaldan @llamahunter the above commit is likely to fix the iOS issue. I'm only able to test it on Android and I saw no regression there.

[llamahunter]

Thx for the updated pull request. Unfortunately, I'm out of the country for a few weeks. As soon as I'm back in town, I'll test this on iOS and push up a new build to the store.

[joeduck]

Hi, it would be great if this will work with oh2. Very useful links app. It's much easier as with tasker :-)

[kaikreuzer]

@llamahunter Are you back in town by now? It would be fantastic if you could push a OH2 compatible version to the store - note that OH2 is going to be released next weekend!

[llamahunter]

Thx. I verified your pull on iOS and merged it. I made a new release v1.6 and posted it on github. Unfortunately, I've lost access to the pebble@openhab.org address and pebbledev account, so I'm not able to push the new release to the app store at the moment. Waiting on @kaikreuzer for that.

Also, I'm looking for a new maintainer of this repo, as I'm no longer an active pebble user as of last month's sad news. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/12/pebble-confirms-fitbit-sale-hardware-is-dead-software-in-maintenance-mode/

[kaikreuzer]

Thanks, @llamahunter, I just published it: https://apps.getpebble.com/en_US/application/5542604d45bf334314000098?query=openhab&section=watchapps

I'm no longer an active pebble use

That's a pity, but anyhow a big thanks for all the work you have put into it in the past! I will try to stay with it until the last minute, but I am afraid that I won't be an adequate maintainer... Maybe @ghys feels a bit bored in the minutes when he isn't working on HABPanel? ;-)

[joeduck]

Hello. Many many thanks from my side. Great work. Now the switches works. 2 hours from my post to the fixed version. Again. Many thanks.

I hope my kickstarter pebble will work for again 2 or 3 years

[ghys]

Maybe @ghys feels a bit bored in the minutes when he isn't working on HABPanel? ;-)

I still use this app daily, perhaps as much as HABPanel actually 😉 and I have a few Pebble apps under my belt so I don't mind taking over - it's doing the job nicely alraedy I don't expect huge amounts of work maintaining it anyways.

Obligatory huge thanks to @llamahunter for building this in the first place!

[llamahunter]

As well as @trusk89 for the initial inspiration. And the openHAB team for making an open source, open API home automation platform!

[alexbartisro]

Awesome job everyone! Glad it helped and sad to see pebble go down.

I personally switched to garmin last summer, so maybe I'll give that a try :)

[kaikreuzer]

so I don't mind taking over

You're incredible, @ghys, glad to have you in the team 👍
