AutoRemote Beta

[joaomgcd]

For anyone interested, I'm going to start releasing beta versions of AutoRemote at more regular intervals.

I'll be posting the Android beta on Google Play :)

You can join the beta by joining this community: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/110193399489813640793

And then going here to join beta testing: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.joaomgcd.autoremote

There's also a pre-beta Windows version if you want to use it. This is the one that'll work with the beta apk above. You can get it here:

[joaomgcd]

New version out:

- Added QR sharing

- Added the send to "Last Sender" option in the Send Message screen

- Added the channel concept: when you use a channel you open a communication channel with the receiving device/PC. When the receiver sends a message to that channel, he will respond to the device that "owns" that channel. This way you can dynamically assign receivers to messages; for example, when asking your phone for its location, your phone can respond to whoever sent that message. And if it's tracking its location every 10 minutes, it can send consequent messages to the same sender, even if it receives other messages in the meantime

- bugfixes

I'll update this thread whenever a new version is available.

Please leave any feedback you can in this thread. Thanks. :)

You can download the Android apk here:

New update:

 - Now a channel can be used as a multicast channel, meaning that if multiple PCs or devices use the same channel, when a device sends a message to that channel, all other devices and PCs on that channel will receive the message.

To better understand what a channel is, imagine channels as chatrooms. 

When you enter a chatroom, you start receiving all messages in that chatroom. The same happens with channels. Only here you "enter" the channel by sending a message with that channel defined.

Also, when you exit a chatroom, you stop receiving messages from it. With channels, you can do that by sending a message with an empty channel or by using another channel.

Let's look at an example:

 - You send a "where are you?" message from your PC to your phone using the "location" channel.

 - Your phone is configured to reply with its location to the "location" channel when it receives the "where are you?" message. 

 - The message will be delivered to your PC, because it's in the "location" channel.

 - Now you send a similar "where are you?" message from your tablet with the same "location" channel

 - You will now receive the phone's location on both your PC and tablet because they both are in the "location" channel.

In the future I'll add a way to explicitly exit channels because now you can only be in one channel at a time. You always exit a channel when you enter another one.

Let me know if there are any questions about channels.

[joaomgcd]

New beta out. Added a new Tasker action where you can manage your channels.also added a new option to remove pcs from channels when they are not available.

Feedback is welcome. :)

New EventGhost plugin update:

Now you add devices in the plugin configuration and reuse them in registrations and messages.

[joaomgcd]

AutoRemote is now officially out of beta! You can still keep your beta versions installed if you want to, but the final versions of all apps are now published.

Please let me know if you find any issues :)

[benrog...@gmail.com]

Hi Joao,

Where can I download the EventGhost plugin? Is there a plugin-only download available somewhere?.

Thanks!

[joaomgcd]

You can install it from the AutoRemote Desktop app.

If you want I can provide it as a standalone file, but you'll have to copy it to the right directory and update it manually (which is why I decided to only make it available through the desktop app, which auto-installs and updates it).

[benrog...@gmail.com]

If you wouldn't mind, that would be wonderful. I only have 1gb of free space on my laptop and can't afford to install .NET yet.

Maybe I could grab just the EventGhost plugin from a Dropbox folder?

Thanks so much.

[joaomgcd]

Sorry ben, just saw this today. Will provide a link later today.

Meanwhile, a new beta is out! This one has Zapier support, which means you can essentially add hundreds of new Condtitions and Actions to Tasker in one go! :) If you want access, ask for an invite, since it's invite only for now.

[emmanue...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Could you please get me an invite to Zapier ? Sound Awesome!
Thanks.

Emmanuel.

[joaomgcd]

Ben, here is the standalone file for the EventGhost plugin.

You should copy it to the EventGhost/plugins/AutoRemote folder for it to work properly. Let me know how it goes!

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9787157/EventGhost/plugins/AutoRemote/__init__.py

I'll send out those Zapier invites now! Please leave feedback on how it works :)

[stupidnot...@gmail.com]

Can you send me an invite as well?

[stupidnot...@gmail.com]

I know I am missing it, but I downloaded the beta versions of both the APK and the software for the computer, and I don't see anything relating to Zapier...

[João Dias]

You can add the Zapier "device" in your devices screen. Press the menu key if the option doesn't show up right away.

When I click Add new device, it asks me for the device's personal URL. Am I supposed to just enter my phone's personal URL there? If I do that, when I try to send the message to the newly added device, it just comes back to my phone, it doesn't go to zapier.

OK, I clicked "Register for Zapier" and it shows "Registerd in Zapier". I have also entered personal key in Zapier (where it says "Select your autoremote account or add a new one"). I can send message from zapier to the phone. But when I send from phone to Zapier the log says "Error sending test =:= testing to Zapier: No Zapier registration found.

--Harsh

[João Dias]

Ah yes, you have to setup a zap before you can send stuff to zapier. I recommend doing a zap where you receive a message in Zapier with a filter for when the Whole Message exactly matches "ping" and reply with a message to your phone with the message "pong".

Then send "ping" from your phone to Zapier, and a "pong" reply should be received.

Let me know if it works. :)

[Harsh Shah]

Yup, works perfectly. Thanks.

[joaomgcd]

For all the Zapier users: put your AutoRemote Zaps all on Pause and then Live again. I've made a change to how it works where it needs to be reset.

[Harsh Shah]

This morning you helped me figure out how to send message from phone to Zapier. I could already send message from Zapier to phone. But I still can't figure out how to send message from Zapier to PC and from PC to Zapier. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

[João Dias]

Sorry haven't implemented that yet.

Hi. This is my first post to the group so let me start by saying a very large thank you for AutoRemote. It's changed how I use my devices and PCs and a 5 star review is up in the store because of this.

I'd love to give Zapier a whirl to see what else can be done. So, if you've any more invites going spare, I'd sure appreciate one!

[João Dias]

The Zapier integration has already gone live. :) It's now a feature everyone can use on the latest version. Go check it out on Google Play!

Ah, um, oops ;) I thought you still needed an invite to access Zapier. Apparently not any more :) I'm in and registered with them now so that'll certainly keep me busy. Please don't shoot me but what's the chances of your EventGhost plugin gaining 2-way Zapier support?

[João Dias]

On EventGhost it's a bit tricky.

Sending to Zapier from EventGhost might be possible, but receiving should be a bit harder. Theoretically it would be possible, but I'm not promising anything for now. :)

[joaomgcd]

New feature!

You can now send notifications to AutoRemote.

Use the following URL: http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendnotification?title=TITLE&text=TEXT&icon=ICON_URL&picture=PICTURE_URL&key=YOUR_KEY

Icon and Picture only work on Jelly Bean for now.

Download the latest APK or use the Zapier invitation only app to use this!

Great idea! I've been playing with this to try to get a picture notification on my devices when a new photo is uploaded to the home server. I've got everything working server side but I cannot for the life of me get a picture to display where I'm thinking it should be i.e. when you expanded a JB notification I'm thinking the picture would show up below the notification text.

I build up the URL in EventGhost to send and whenever I include the "picture" query parameter I see the notification appear in the log view but no notification appears in the status bar. When I take out the picture parameter a notification appears and includes the icon image when specified.

Here's some testing URLs I've been working with the device key removed:

No notification displayed (picture param present): http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendnotification?title=New Home Photo&text=A new photo has been saved at home. Tap to view full image.&icon=http://www.google.com/images/icons/product/igoogle-32.png&picture=http://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png&url=http://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png&key=

Displays notification with icon (picture param removed): http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendnotification?title=New Home Photo&text=A new photo has been saved at home. Tap to view full image.&icon=http://www.google.com/images/icons/product/igoogle-32.png&url=http://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png&key=

I've attached a screenshot of the log showing the 2 examples above. I don't know if the "Notification from Unknown null..." is relevant?

FWIW, my testing devices are a GSM Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 both running AOKP JB milestone 1 i.e. Jelly Bean 4.1.2. Both are running the latest (at the time of writing) beta apk from the first post.

Oh, and here's the EventGhost script I'm using:

import urllib;

print "Sending picture notification(s)"

TITLE = "New Home Photo"

TEXT = "A new photo has been saved at home. Tap to view full image."

URL = 'http://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png'#eg.globals.newpicture_full

ICON_URL = 'http://www.google.com/images/icons/product/igoogle-32.png'#eg.globals.newpicture_thumbnail

PICTURE_URL = URL#eg.globals.newpicture_image

#Generate URL template to be used

urlbase = 'http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendnotification?title=' + TITLE + '&text=' + TEXT

urlbase = urlbase + '&icon=' + ICON_URL

urlbase = urlbase + '&picture=' + PICTURE_URL 

urlbase = urlbase + '&url=' + URL

    

#Iterate through list of Autoremote device keys

for arkey in eg.globals.arnotifyall:

    

    urlfull = urlbase + '&key=' + arkey

    

    urllib.urlopen(urlfull)

    

    print "sent: " + urlfull

    

print "Done sending picture notification(s)."

[João Dias]

You're right! I can't get it to work now either.

I'll take a look at it later and see what's up. Thanks for reporting this! :)

- ledon (milliseconds the led will stay on)

- ledoff (milliseconds the led will stay off)

- action (AutoRemote action on notification click; will override URL)

- action1 (Notification button with AutoRemote action; only on Jelly Bean)

- action2 (Notification button with AutoRemote action; only on Jelly Bean)

- action3 (Notification button with AutoRemote action; only on Jelly Bean)

- action1name (Notification button Label with AutoRemote action; only on Jelly Bean)

- action2name (Notification button Label with AutoRemote action; only on Jelly Bean)

- action3name (Notification button Label with AutoRemote action; only on Jelly Bean)

- share (send any value to add a share button to Jelly Bean notifications)

Let me know if it works!

[Neil Dunlop]

You are a star! Pictures are now coming through and I can see I'll have to spend a lot more time playing with the new parameters :)

[Neil Dunlop]

I played about with this last night and came across a couple of things:

1. AutoRemote appears to cache images and doesn't download a new image resource with the same URL received in a previous notification e.g. send a notification using http://somesite/somephoto.jpg as the picture, overwrite the source file on the server with another image with the same name and resend the same notification - the result is the Autoremote notification displayed uses the first image resource and not the new one. It appears to work the same for icon parameter resources as well. I can see why it would do this (to save bandwidth) so it's probably more of a feature. Perhaps a parameter to ignore cached resources would be an idea? the use case for this would be an image resource that is updated at certain times but the URI for it remains constant e.g. a graph, profile picture etc.
   
   
2. I get a NullPointerException when a picture has a space in the file name part of the URL e.g. "http://somesite/somephoto.jpg" works but "http://somesite/some photo.jpg" causes AutoRemote to crash. I've tried encoding the file path part of the URL (http://somesite/some%20photo.jpg) but still get the same result. Here's the crash traceback:
   
   

   com.joaomgcd.autoremote version 1.9.5

   android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:60)

Can you please explain a bit about how the "action" parameters (action, action1, action2 etc.) work? I've tried to figure it out but my brain just shuts down ;)

[joaomgcd]

That's awesome. :)

Really glad I did this beta, it's a good way to catch bugs like these.

It also helps to have such thorough and understanding users!

Thanks very much!

[Neil Dunlop]

Without wanting to gush too much, I'm blown away by AutoRemote and what it enables me to do so you're more than welcome!

Now, any word on the action parameters and how to use them?

[João Dias]

Oh yeah, sorry, forgot to answer that. Actions parameters are AutoRemote commands you want to execute when touching buttons on the notification. Imagine in your example you want to add buttons to copy the picture's URL, another to open the picture and another one to Call someone about the picture (silly example, I know :P) You just add the 3 actions (something like ....&action1=copy=:=URL_HERE&action2=open=:=URL_HERE&action3=call mike).

You can also add labels to those actions to make them look better. You could define the "action1name" as "Copy Url" and the first button would have that label.

Let me know if it works!

[Neil Dunlop]

Well I finally got around to having a shot with the action and actionname parameters. It looks to me (this is kind of hard to explain!) that, after you've sent an initial action parameter, all subsequent actions for all subsequent notifications trigger the first "action1" action ever received rather than the one one corresponding to the newer notification or action index e.g.:

1. Reboot your device to start AutoRemote fresh.
2. Send a notification request http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendnotification?title=TITLE&text=TEXT&action1=notifytoast:tester=:=1&action1name=1&action2=notifytoast:tester=:=22&action2name=2&action3=notifytoast:tester=:=333&action3name=3&key=[YOUR_KEY_HERE]
3. You should get a notification appear with 3 action buttons labelled "1", "2", and "3".
4. Tap the action labelled "3" - the AutoRemote log shows it's received "notifytoast:tester=:=1" instead of "notifytoast:tester=:=333".
5. Send another notification request http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendnotification?title=TITLE&text=TEXT&action1=different:action=:=now&action1name=Hey&key=[YOUR_KEY_HERE]
6. This time you get only a single action with a single action button.
7. Tap the "Hey" action button and go back to the AutoRemote log....
8. The log shows it's received the same as in step 4 above: "notifytoast:tester=:=1".

So it looks like there's something fishy going on behind the scenes to me.

Also, a few notification related ideas for, you know, when you've got 5 minutes spare to add them ;)

1. Could the action icons be hidden by default? Perhaps additional action1icon URL type parameters could be used to add in action button images if required?
2. How about the ability to play the default notification sound? I guess sometimes you may want no notification sound as well (just to be awkward!).
3. From what I can see AutoRemote only ever creates a single notification. When one is displayed, and another newer one comes in, the old one is replaced by the new one. While this is good for safeties sake (i.e. not having 50 notifications at the same time) could there be a parameter added that will always cause the a new notification to be created? I'm thinking here of high priority notifications you don't want to miss.

Cheers!

Hi!!

Again, thanks for the detailed report. :)

Yes, I'm aware of that first-notification-defines-actions-for-eternity issue. :) I think I even know how to solve it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

About your suggestions:

 1 - Sure, I can hide the icons by default. I don't know if I can make the action icons totally dynamic (or if they have to be in the app already), but I can certainly hide them

 2- I can add an in-app option to select what notification sound you want to hear on a new notification, good idea.

 3- I already thought of that, and what I'm going to do is, I'm going to let you set a "distinct" option that does what you say and also let you specify a notification id. This will allow to overwrite notifications or not based on that ID. for instance, you could set the same id for notifications that come from the same RSS feed, in which case you'll always see the latest feed item. At the same time, you can set a different ID for another feed, so you can see the last item for 2 feeds at a time

I'm having a basic set up problem with AutoRemote *(purchased from Play, I'm also an FSintents customer!):

 In the Pitch field, press the arrows icon and enter the text "%arpar2" without the quotes.

On my Tasker, there is no adjustment for the Pitch field, it has two sliders, I don't know how to enter the value you want!

Thanks!

You need to press the arrows icon like it says. Then you can enter a value manually.

Hi Joao,

I'm trying to install the windows app on a pc that is behind a proxy server.

I think that your setup.exe try to download the application file from your dropbox, but it fail due the proxy.

The install.log file finish with this error:

"Error: An error occurred trying to download 'https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9787157/AutoRemote1/AutoRemoteDesktop.application'."

Is there a way to install your software without an internet connection?

Notifications bugs (hopefully) fixed.

Can now set notification sound

New notification parameters:

 - "id": notifications with no id are always generated seperately; notifications with the same id "overwrite" eachother

 -  "action": Autoremote command to automatically run on received notification with no user interaction 

Can re-order devices and set a favorite device so you can one-touch share to that device from anywhere on Android where share is supported

Just a quick "thanks" for the latest beta updates. Thanks!

[joaomgcd]

You're welcome! :)

There's a new one available now.

You can now send new line characters with "\n".

Among other things you can now share an URL for later, which means that, for instance you can do this:

 - You're on the train and you find a cool news story with a video, but you can't watch the video because of bandwidth issues

 - you share the video and choose Remote Later Url

 - You choose your PC and send the URL

 - When you get home and login to your PC the URL is automatically sent (provided the AutoRemote app is running on it) and opened.

This way you'll never forget to check out anything again!

[joaomgcd]

Oh yeah and you can now define a "sound" parameter on notifications and choose from 10 different notification sounds.

[Hussain]

Can't wait for the stable version!!!! :D

Thanks for such a great app!! Can't imagine life without Tasker and AutoRemote lol!

These beta updates are always available in the apk linked in the first post of this thread. :)

Yeah I think that made it in in the latest beta release. I didn't test it yet but I'm sure I coded that functionality in...

thanks, feel like a right n00b for missing that. I'll give it a try now.

Found the option (clean unknown devices) in the tasker channels plugin. Tested and working fine.

Thanks again for the update

New version. Fixes the share for later option. a few other bugfixes too!

[peter...@gmail.com]

I have updated both tablet and phone to latest beta (original is bought application from market). Had some problems with tasker not triggering on messages and when checking logs both devices have (when sending)

"Error sending message=:=message to devicename:OK"

Exchange message and devicename of course.

It seems it reaches its destination anyways and tasker triggers on it (so some other problem from the beginning I guess)

However, the error message in the log doesnt seem right even though it reaches its destination.

[joaomgcd]

Fixed this error now. It was actually happening on the older versions of the app as well. It was a server side error.

[joaomgcd]

New beta with Linux support!! Execute remote commands on your linux machine via ssh.

Quick tutorial:

 - run sudo apt-get install curl in linux to install curl if you don't already have it

 - run the following command with your specific parameters: curl "http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/registerpc?key=YOUR_KEY&name=NAME_TO_APPEAR_ON_YOUR_PHONE&id=ANY_UNIQUE_ID&type=linux&publicip=YOUR_PUBLIC_IP_OR_HOST_NAME&localip=$(sudo ifconfig eth0 |grep "inet addr" |awk '{print $2}' |awk -F: '{print $2}')"

 - On your phone go to the devices screen and tap on the newly added device. Enter a username and password that has remote access to your linux machine

 - send the following message: ls /

 - Check the AutoRemote logs. A message starting with "linux=:=" should have been received.

With this you can execute commands and then react to their output if you want, by having an AutoRemote profile with the "linux=:=" message filter.

Feedback is very welcome! :)

A quick query.

 

   Is there any chance of a "dark theme" for the android app. I know its silly but its one of my deciding factors when purchasing apps. Wasnt bothered when I bought this as I though once I set it up, i wouldn't need to re-enter it again, but I find my self entering this app more often than most and it screems at me on my S2 with the amoled+ screen

 

 

Fingers crossed......... :-)

[João Dias]

Yes, I guess that's possible. Let me see what I can do. :)

Brilliant, Cheers Joao

Also, just to let you know, I flashed a new CM10.1 ROM last night on my TF300T tablet. The URL restore feature worked perfectly.

 

Thanks

[João Dias]

Awesome. :)

tested it and I have created the device successfully, but when I try to send a message nothing happens in logs. Don't know how to debug this.

[João Dias]

If you enable System Logs something will appear :) I need to change that.

You probably need to set User and password on your linux device.

[n4]

wow that was fast:)
yeah now it says Auth fail
it prompted me when setting up for my username and pass though.
so how would i do that?
thanks!

[João Dias]

Just go to your Linux device in the device list it should prompt you for your credentials...

I already entered it, I even have reentered it by long pressing, still the same error though.

[João Dias]

Can you connect remotely with that user from another pc? Maybe that particular user doesn't have remote access enabled...

New beta:

 - new variables available in the entry task of an AutoRemote profile: %senderid, %sendername, %sendertype, %senderpublicip, %senderlocalip
 - Minimum 2 second delay between messages to make those messages in quick succession be processed correctly

 - If you're connected to 3G, only the public IP will be tried when sending a message to a PC

 - License will only be considered invalid after 3 tries

Did you get chance to impliment a dark them yet?

RBX

[João Dias]

Yes, but it's not working on the preferences screens yet (which are most of AutoRemote's screens), that's why I didn't mention it.. The option is already there though...

[RudeboyX]

Great, I'll take a look at the new beta and look forward to the next.

Thanks for all the updates. you keep putting a smile on my face with the new features.

RBX

[RudeboyX]

I'm liking the dark theme, like you say, just the preference screens not themed, although fonts do seem to be white now on a white back ground for settings screens so half way working :-)

RBX

[joaomgcd]

New beta:

 - Dark Theme Fully implemented

 - New Linux setting: url share prefix, so you can run any linux command you like on the shared url

 - Pesky URL Generation is gone from the logs

 - Preliminary youtube integration test for in-app video tutorials

[Nisse Nilsson]

Hi...

On latest beta AutoRemote just freezes when i run it..
I got a logcat of when I run AutoRemote..
Running CM10 on Xperia Acro S

http://pastebin.com/nZcb37aL

Thanx for a great app!! :)

[RudeboyX]

Great joaomgcd, I will download and install shortly. However, can anybody confirm the above post claiming Autoremote freezes when launched? No point in installing this if thats the case.

Regards
RBX

[João Dias]

Sorry yes, this versions seems to have been corrupted somehow. I'll try to fix it later.

Ok, I uploaded a new version that should now work. Took out the youtube stuff for now, it seems to have been breaking things. Please let me know if everything's ok now. :)

It's working now, thanks.
