Telldus Live! for Android

[gein]

I have spent the last couple of days re-writing the RemoteStick android app with Telldus Live! support. I'm more or less done but before releasing a new version on Android Market I would be more than happy if some of you tried it out.

<link removed>. The update is now available on Android Market.

I'm particularly interested in bug reports but any feedback is welcomed of course.

Thanks

An update is available on Market. Please try it out with Telldus Live! and let me know what you think.

Hi !

I just tested your remotestick app on my HTC Desire (runninng Froyo and latest HTC update) and it works perfectly !

Thank you for this app ! I don't know why but the mobile telldus live website didn't work on my phone, it lists the appliances but on clicking on/off nothing happens..

The only thing you could add is the ability to dim a device but i don't know if it's implemented in the Live! API

Thanks again

Working fine on 2.1 thanks.

iPhone version is still not working though.

It is implemented, although a bug in Telldus Center makes it more or less useless for the time being. You can fix it rather simply though if you want. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the next Telldus Center release.
Open the file Plugins/script/com/telldus/live/__init__.js and look for the method messageReceived().
Change row:

Code: Select all

com.telldus.core.dim( msg.argument(0).intVal(), msg.argument(0).intVal() );

to:

Code: Select all

com.telldus.core.dim( msg.argument(0).intVal(), msg.argument(1).intVal() );

The file resides in C:\Program\Telldus on Windows and /Applications/TelldusCenter.app/Contents on MacOSX

Besides this bug in Telldus Center, diming devices in RemoteStick through Telldus Live! is implemented and should work.

Thank you very much ! It works just as expected

What is the name of the application? I tried searching Telldus and it's not there. Is there a link on this website (the first post says link removed).

Please read the first sentence in the first post. The application is called "RemoteStick".

Ahhh... My bad - reread it. RemoteStick doesn't work on my Desire HD, though. I chose the Telldus Live option and get to the point where I am to authenticate it and it force closes. Any clues on how to make it work? Would love if it did.

Also, I found that authentication with the Android browser set to "desktop" gives me a numerical key, but with it set to "Android"/mobile browser, it says it fails.

Lastly, the mobile page for Telldus live does not function. I click on the "On" or "Off" and nothing happens. When I switch to "desktop" mode, it works, but I have to zoom in to hit the lights.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,



Tien

Edit to add: How bizarre. It works on my boyfriend's Sony Experia X10, though. Really would like it to work on mine, especially with Locale. Here's the error I get: The application RemoteStick (process se.akerfeldt.remotestick.client) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Interesting. You don't happen to run Android 2.2.1 on your Desire HD, do you? There seems to be a very strange bug related to the database SQLite and DesireHD + 2.2.1. Google it and you'll find quite a bit.
I could verify this if you post an error report on your force close. Or if you copy/paste the stack trace found in the error report when it happens.
But most likely, this is due to the fact that there is a bug in 2.2.1 & Desire HD. Could you please confirm that you do run this version?

An update regarding Desire HD issues. There seems to be another issue with Desire HD as well. HTC has managed to somehow export the GSON library (which I am using and bundling with my app). There seems to be a work around for this though, but I'll have to release an update.

Still, it would be much appreciated if you could send me the error report upon a force close.

I sent the report in via the report button. I hope that's alright. I don't quite know how to export it for posting here, but would be glad to if you could tell me how.

I'll report it again, but put "From Tien" in the text. (Don't know if reports get sent to you anonymously or not.)

Thanks,

Tien

Sending it directly from the application is just perfect! It will arrive to me in my Market Console within a day or two I guess. It usually takes a while for some reason.

We found another bug the other day. If the json-data isn't properly encoded the application crashes. Should not happen on our real servers but it happens all the time on the development-servers

Again, much appreciated if you could send an error report when that happens!
