iOS App for Wiser for CBus Automation Controller

Hi Laurence (Icrowhurst),
Have you had a chance to find out how to work HTTP SSL Certificates on the shac. Also, how long will you continue to support your CTC app Version 2.1.
The reason I purchased the shac was due to problems and lack of support I had from Clipsal with the Wiser and App, they don't support the App any longer.
My Wiser is now in the junk box$$$

 

Re ssl : Apologies I haven’t had a chance to follow it up yet, I’ll follow it up this week.

Re App : I wrote the app become I needed it for my clients, So I’ll be giving support I guess for as long as the Wiser is around. Because of its capabilities (far beyond just Cbus) I’m hoping the shac is going to be around a long while.

 

Hi Laurence (Icrowhurst),
Just following up, any luck with HTTP SSL?
Great to see that you will be supporting your app for the life of wiser.

 

Ok had a look at SSL
I went to a free ssl site (does 90 ssls) https://www.sslforfree.com
put in my test domain , selected Manual Verification, entered the required details on my zone recored to verify.

The site then came back with a private key and cert, cut and paste them into the Wiser HTTP SSL cert screen.

On my router I forwarded port 443 to the wiser.

Tested using a web browser and my app all worked fine.

 

Is your app work with the Pascal automation controller?

 

No the ne 5500shac and 5500nac (wiser automation controllers)

 

My suggestion, since the certificate mentioned above is valid only for 3 months or so, spend the money (it isn't much) and purchase a full cert which will last 12 months, 2 years, whatever you register it for. One request though, I'm not that comfortable not being able to use some of those special characters in the externally accessible password. It really reduces the level of complexity and security, are there plans to make special characters available?



Cheers,
Paul

 

The password is passed via URL, URL doesn’t support a lot of the special characters, which is why I had to block them. I think the current train of thought on password is to use several unconnected word, this way passwords can be much longer but still easy to remember.

On another note: I’ve just released v 2.3 which has changed the web interface rendering to WKWebView to improve the speed the page is displayed, as on large projects the page load speed was a little slow.

Bug fix
- Fixed issue with wrong app version being displayed

 

OK, makes sense, I'll just have to live with that little voice in my head (not the one that tells me to burn things, the other one) and pick a really long password.

 

I've been having some issues downloading the app on the wifes phone after setting up family sharing. Some apps download fine, however this one in particular throws an error message, "Redownload unavailable with this Apple ID". Does anyone know how this is rectified?

Cheers,
Paul

 

Is you wifes phones itunes and iCloud account both using her apple login?
If not I think this can cause an issue, I think you will have to her leave family sharing, then sign in with her id on iCloud and app store, and then resend the family share invite.

I wrote the App, there is no restriction on family share use.

 

Version 2.5 should be in the App Store very soon.

Its been a while since I've update the iOS app as I have been working on the Android app. I have just submitted version 2.5 to apple, so hopefully it will be available very soon.

In this update I have added support for iPad OS Split View and Slide Over

Video of it in action

 

2.5 now in the App Store

 

Ive updated CTC Wiser (iOS/iPad OS) to v2.9.

http://crowhurst.com.au/scada-vis/

https://apps.apple.com/au/app/ctc-wiser/id1330538372

Ive added the ability to send a CBus command when the app starts/comes into foreground/changes orientation.
you can set any app, group and value.

No additional code is required on the SHAC/NAC as it uses their API, you just have to enable remote and set a password.

 

Ive updated CTC Wiser (IOS/iPad OS) to v2.95

The app now displays Alerts from Wiser (similar to in Safari) .

Example of Wiser Script

value = event.getvalue()

alert("SYSTEM MESSAGE\n\n Watched Group value has changed to:\n\n"..value)


I have also change the default Icon to a little Blue House version of the Apple Home Kit Yellow House (there is also white and blue version available.

 

With Schneider transitioning C-Bus to SpaceLogic C-Bus I have added a new app to the IOS App store to support the SpaceLogic Automation controllers (SHAC and NAC). CTC SpaceLogic is the same as the CTC Wiser App just rebranded for SpaceLogic. There are a couple of updates to the CTC SpaceLogic App over the CTC Wiser App :

- Added No network detection - if no network is detected a message will be displayed
- Faster switching between Wifi and Mobile
- Updated look to Today Widget supporting Dark and Light Mode

* Note these updates will be added to CTC Wiser in a Future update.

To download CTC SpaceLogic goto

https://apps.apple.com/au/app/ctc-spacelogic/id1541108347

more info can be found at crowhurst.com.au

I will be supporting and updating both apps, so existing CTC Wiser clients will still get the same features as CTC SpaceLogic.

Going forward I would suggest you down load CTC SpaceLogic for your NEW clients.

If a Client has two homes then they can now use one of each of the apps to access each home.

Bloody great app. Thanks!

How about a timeout feature to return to a home page after a certain time?

 

Thank you . I will add it to my list. At the moment I can not up load updates as Apple have objected to my App Icon and have blocked anymore updates while it is with their legal team . Once all it is sorted there will be more updates coming.

You can do a timeout by adding a small piece of code to the wiser under scripting --> Tools --> edit Custom JavaScript
Paste in the following code Change the SE_Timeout to the time you want, and set the SE_Startpage to the page you want:

Code:

$(function() {
 
  // Back to Start after x seconds (in miliseconds)
  var SE_Timeout = 90000; // adjust this timer value if needed (90 seconds in miliseconds)
  var SE_Startpage = 221; // First page that is loaded
  var eventlist = 'vclick vmousedown vmouseout touchend';
 
  // Timer function no usage detected
  function No_Usage_Detected(callback, timeout, _this) {
    var timer;
    return function(e) {
        var _that = this;
        if (timer)
            clearTimeout(timer);
        timer = setTimeout(function() {
            callback.call(_this || _that, e);
        }, timeout);
    }
  }

  // Back to start function when timer elapsed
    var SE_Goto_Startpage = No_Usage_Detected(function(e) {
    if ( currentPlanId != SE_Startpage ) {
    showPlan(SE_Startpage);
    window.location.reload();
    }
  }, SE_Timeout);
 
  // Add event listener to document to detect user input
  $(document)
  .on(eventlist, function() {
    SE_Goto_Startpage();
  });
 
  // Add event listener to all iframes to detect user input inside iframes
  $('iframe').load(function() {
    var iframe = $('iframe').contents().find('html');
    iframe.on(eventlist, function(event) {
     SE_Goto_Startpage();
    });
  });

});  

 

That is super helpful. Thanks!
