Hi

Unfortunately it is actually not possible to change the content type. It is fix "text/plain". We will implement the possibility to give the content type as a new feature for HTTP requests in the next release.

Hi

FileNotFoundException occurs when the server sends a HTTP Error 404 back to the client. We can't say why this occures, because we do not know what type of device it is. Sometimes it is a carridge return or something other that the server excpects. Maybe you could analyze the traffic (e.g. with the "Package Capture" App) once? Then we can see what is different to calls that are working.

Hi

I think we implement a repeat function for buttons for all command types. Because all the supported infrared transmitter does have different mechansim to repeat signal transmission it is not so easy to implement a mechanism that works for all situations. The Logitech Harmony Hub for has for example a begin and an end command you have to send to it. The global cache transmitters does support repeat codes for the infrared protocol having this option - but you have to handle it yourself. We will think about how to implement this.

You can't prevent transmission errors while communicate with a device over the wlan or a network. But there are different ways to treat them. Of course you can open for each call a separate connection independent, if a priviously sent command was finished correctly or not. The problem is that in this case you can't ensure that if you send a sequence of commands they will be sent in the right order by the transmitter. You also do not determine if the device is overfeed with commands, it's input buffer is full and commands get lost.
The other question is how long you set the timeout for waiting of the response. If you set it to short, probably the answer get lost (for example if you control some devices over VPN). But as you can see, it is could make also problems if it is to long. Generally it would be possible to make this all configurable, but we have anyway already the problem that our App is too complicate for most people and we try to make it easyier and not even more complicate with configuration option that most of users do not understand.
We do totaly understand you, that you are not lucky with this behaviour, but you can see it is not so easy to solve, beacause other problems will occure.

Hi there again

Repeating on a button does only work when 1 Infrared Action (not more) is configured and trigger is set to timing. Is this enough for you as soluition? What do you want exactly execute in this case?

Hi

Normaly the FileNotfoundException appears when the URL does not exist server side. Could you once set the log level to DEBUG and try it again? Width DEBUG Level there are more informations logged into the log system.

Hi

There is acutally no way to realize such a state that longer persists as the page is displayed. GlobalVars acutally work only for a secific requirement for controlling the allbot roboter.

I think this is a requirement that makes sense to implement. We will release anyway a new version that is planed for the end of January. We will think about how to implement the solution for this requirement.

kind regards,
Urs

Hi Claudio

I checked the behaviour of Broadlink RC Target and I couldn't find any problems. OK, button should be enabled. The only condition ist, that the command (id) does not already exist. I can imagine that there could be a problem width deleted commands that they will still checked for dublicates in some cases.

Hi

There is an known issue if the Android OS does remove an App (when it is in background) from memory. The reinitialisation process is not executed in this case. You have to completely restart the App. We will provide an update in January for this. We didn't know that this also occures with iOS. We will check this.

Maybe the WebView will be reinitialised from the Android OS. Actually I can't say if it is possible to have influence on this. We will clarify this.

Actions can be configured for the hardware volume control buttons in the fragment settings of Main Fragment of a page.

To your suggestions:
1. we will implement it
2. Maybe this works already with the timing function. I will check this
3. This idea we had allready, but we didn't have a good idea how to implement. We will think about it again.

kind regards,
Urs Bratschi

Hi Claudio

I can remember, that ther was allredy a problem with this bevhaviour somewhere. I will check it. Maybe it works if you change/revert somethin in the id field.

I will inform you.
Urs

The application should restart in this case. We will release an update wich solve this problem in January.

kind regards,
Urs
