Support,

Playing around with iBeacon/GeoFencing, using this App(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beecon/id822251888?mt=8), great App, has a Virtual beacon for testing. I used this sketch to trip a relay (https://github.com/openhomeautomation/CC3000_REST). I have an existing MyDoorOpener installed and running, I would like to change my URL in Beecon to call my 'MyDoorOpener' server. Above you mentioned the 'URL scheme'. Could you share an example URL, everything after the Port would be helpful?

Thanks,
Ed

Ed,

We currently don't have any URL schemes published except the one used for notifications. This is something we'll be adding
in our next release to allow for external iOS applications to trigger actions on any of the configured MyDoorOpener
controller/devices.

Best regards,

Prototyping a little Geofencing using the following:

Beacons – http://www.estimote.com

Client – http://www.beaconsandwich.com

Modified the MyDoorOpener sever to handle these URL:

To Open:
Code: Select all
http://192.168.1.101:8002?password=xxxxxxxx&relayPin=8&iBeacon=1


To Close:
Code: Select all
http://192.168.1.101:8002?password=xxxxxxxx&relayPin=8&iBeacon=2


Here is the workflow:

The Beacon Client sends the following Open request to my WAMP server:
Code: Select all
http://192.168.1.100/MyDoorOpeneriBeacon.php?url=192.168.1.101:8002&request=1


The PHP script on my WAMP server sends the following to my MyDoorOpener server:
Code: Select all
http://192.168.1.101:8002?password=xxxxxxxx&relayPin=8&iBeacon=1


The PHP script will NOT return the resulting XML from the MyDoorOpener back to the Beacon Client (this was breaking the Beacon Client).

Not ready for 'primetime', just prototyping, it seems to work, a lot more testing, having fun. :)

Thanks…

Regards,
Ed

As per our post on this thread, Geofencing will not be part of our app, as it's not core to our product.

But with MyDoorOpener v3.2's addition of external application accessible URLs, you can now use applications such as Launch Center Pro
(which supports both Beacons and Geofencing), to open/close/trigger any device defined within the MyDoorOpener app.

So the use case per say is now possible.

Best regards,
