Electric Imp iPhone app

@jwehr - If you’re running out of space on the settings screen because the keyboard covers it up, use this nice class that moves everything up out of the way of the keyboard. Works really well. https://github.com/michaeltyson/TPKeyboardAvoiding

Nice! That rocks! No more smashing all the settings onto half the screen. Definitely going into the first update.

I noticed that if you have two or more textfields on a row, it seems to like to bounce back and forth between them instead of going to the next item. It doesn’t do that if you only have one item in a row. I’m just going to stick to one item per row. Then you guys will be able to see all of the enormously long values you send to your imps :slight_smile:

I think I’ll add the ability to show/hide any control. It would be really cool to be able to position the controls where you like. I’ll have to check into that.

Here’s a little video demo of my version of this app idea which has just been submitted to the App Store: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100742/LittleDevilapp-iPhone.m4v

Nice! I’ve been thinking that it would be nice to create multiple pages that you could scroll through to connect to various impees, since the impee that opens your garage, probably doesn’t also turn on your coffee maker, or run your security system, so I think that is my next update, along with sliders. Still have my fingers crossed on Apple accepting my app, I’m concerned that they will kick it back and make me change the title on settings page.

At the request of another user, I have pushed the current code for IoT-Buddy to a GitHub repository here:

https://github.com/joel-wehr/IoT-Buddy

Here is a screenshot of the app I made a few months ago for my garage door. It just has one big button for opening my garage. I’d happy to polish it up and publish it, either with or without the Electric Imp brand. It would certainly be really cool to publish it as an Imp branded app if there was interest.

@Hugo I actually read through most of the Term that you guys sent yesterday. Should I submit a formal request if I want to publish this as an Imp branded app?

@jwehr - yeah several screens with different controls and imps would be great.

Here’s the source code for my app: https://bitbucket.org/brendandawes/little-devil

Well, Apple rejected my app due to the app icon that I used have an image that resembles and iPhone in it. So, I’ve resubmitted it with a new image, and a new version that includes sliders. I haven’t used slider for anything yet, so I’d love some input on how you guys would like to assign values to them. Also the slider value is a float by default. I’m not sure how that is going to work. Comments? I assume it will be another week for review. @brendandawes Any word on yours?

@jwehr No word on mine yet, still waiting for review, though I wonder if the dev centre being down might slow things a little.

I actually removed the first submission as I completely remade the settings screen using Formkit.

Hope Apple approves your app(s) soon. One more thing would be nice: a color picker. I currently use Color sender. Not free ($1.99) but very nice app. You can make it much simpler…

I’m not familiar with Formkit, but I’ll check it out. I also saw the AFNetworking folder in your bitbucket repo. Do you use that for communicating with the agent?

Thanks. Hopefully it will be accepted and available by sometime Saturday. I’ll look into adding a color picker, though I’ll have to set something up to test that. I’m also finishing up an app for the “jTherm-Pro” project that I have been working on, and when I am happy with that, I’ll be submitting that as well. It isn’t exactly the cheapest project, but I love it for BBQ’ing.
