IoTClient Widget

IoTClient is an Internet of Things client - it can be used as a client for any type of HTTP-(GET/PUT/POST) (REST) controllable device like garage doors, window blinds, light switches, TV-, audio- or other home entertainment devices. As well as to fetch values from sensors like door sensors or weather stations. It is currently designed to control up to 4 different devices. Every device can be controlled with 6 actions. ________________________ Examples: Device: garage door Action 1: open Action 2: stop Action 3: close Action 4: stop Device: light switch Action 1: turn on Action 2: turn off ________________________ Prerequisites: Garmin device must be connected via bluetooth to a smart phone. Garmin Connect smartphone app is running Smartphone must be able to reach your HTTP (REST) targets. (usually must be logged in to your private wifi - test it in smartphone browser first) HTTP URLs for every single action must be known ________________________ How to configure: Devices and actions must be configured with the help of your Garmin Connect smartphone or desktop app . Start your Garmin Connect Smartphone App. Connect your Garmin device via bluetooth.

Parameter "switch to next action automatically" controles the widget behaviour. If checked, every time a action was fired, the widget will switch to the next action automatically. (good for window blinds or garage doors) If not checked, you have to switch to the next action by double click/double tap manually. (good for volume control or TV channel switches) To send a JSON PUT just add the JSON as URL parameter to your to your action URL. Parameter name must be json_put or json_post.
