iControl Web: HTTP Remote

Control DIY Raspberry Arduino

Description

Call any URL with an appropriate sized button on any of your devices (iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch). The screens can be configured according to your needs using a json file.
The app is ideal for all home automation systems which support http:
- i.e. DIY, HomeWizard, PEHA-House-Control-System, PHC, DigitalSTROM, KNX, control4, Domoticz.
- It can also be used to control your IP camera (i.e. Mobotix)
- Or as a remote control for some HDMI DLNA adapter
- The app and watch app can also be used to trigger IFTTT.
Follow the configuration manual: https://github.com/sebbu/iControl-Web
In summary: Use iTunes file sharing (in Finder) or the Files App to get a sample json file for your configuration (can also be downloaded from GitHub). Name your file gui.json. The sample contains the full structure. You may want to use a json editor. If you have messed up your gui.json, remove it from the App (delete the file) to get a new guiSample.json. You may use http or https for calling a remote command within this App or other known URL schemes to open another App (iPhone/iPad only).
Support for self-signed certificates is not includes on purpose. There are many free possibilities to get a certificate of different flavor,
i.e. Let’s Encrypt (this is not a recommendation, but it can serve as a starting point for your search).
This app can be controlled via its own custom protocol icontrol://. Currently it only supports the execution of a command. (See guiSample.json for an example)
iControl does not prompt for a review as it would probably interrupt your workflow. I would really appreciate it if you take the time to leave a review (maybe with a short hint or description which system you are using). Thank you in advance!
A big thank you to the company it@business for the support of the update to iOS 13.

Great app - nailed my requirement

Pdileonardo on

United States

Great app, does exactly what it promised to do and completely solved my problem. Please support this developer.

Best app ever

Almoullim on

United States

This is the best app ever, i use to control my mpv media player on my linux when i watch movies to control the volume, play/pause, forward/backward using python http server. The interface can't more simple and awesome, and configuration is surprisingly easy. Great idea for the app.

Awesome! With more features it will be even better.

Great app, very clean build. I'm just wishing for more features like: Push buttons , sliders,text boxes and labels. * Push buttons would make a lot more sense with things with involving motors. * Sliders are my favorite when it comes to brightness/speed controls (add joysticks maybe?). * Text boxes would help sending custom messages possible (infinite possibilities) * Labels would add monitoring capabilities which are not less than freaking awesome. I would consider buying a paid version of the app. I love how simple and clean it is. I'm grateful still, thank you so much sir.

Great App!

Thanks for developing this great app and putting it up for free and open. I would love to see authentication implemented as this is the only way I could control certain devices such as Lifx Bulbs

Simply Awesome!

Great app for controlling lights or garage door directly from your Apple Watch.

No support for self-signed certificate

Vinoh1234 on

United States

This app could be useful for controlling my home automation software (assumin I can understand how to configure the JSON) but I can’t use it since it will not allow the use of either a self-signed certificate or digest authentication. Since I have to embed my username and password in the URL, I need to use https protocol to be somewhat secure. However, it gives an error about my self-signed certificate when I do this. The http protocol works, but I don’t think it passes my test for even minimal security. Hopefully the developer will include this support in a future version.

Awesome App!

Nick Cornaglia on

Very easy to use. Works great. One problem: if you purposely or accidentally hit two buttons at once...the app crashes. Tip until that's fixed: Don't purposely or accidentally hit two buttons at once.

Simple design, does exactly what I need

Tekkub on

United States

Awesome app, not encumbered by a convoluted design like the Insteon+ app is. Even with the json config and iTunes file transfer, it's still easier to set up using my old hub than setting up a new HomeKit hub with an "official" app is. Watch views are a bonus, would love to have those in a glance (if that is even possible).

Amazingly full featured

christophersu9 on

United States

I've been wanting an app like this for a long time. The JSON config is convenient and the sample is thorough. I use it to call HTTP APIs from my Apple Watch and it works like a charm.

So Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jwmartin5 on

United States

This app is exactly what I have been looking for. Try it with the Control4 system (free web events driver to accept HTTP commands on the Control4 side), amazing! Two requests: 1) Add a red dot as a color option on the watch (or more colors if you can), for my security system label. 2) Add the ability to load an image from the web (like an IP camera image). Thank you! Will easily be my most used watch app!
