FHEM Widget 2

FHEM Widget is...

A small app that controls user-defined FHEM devices. It utilizes the following command: 

set [devicename] [controlled_attribute] [allowed_value]

If there is no controlled_attribute available, it uses 

set [devicename] [allowed_value]

New in Version 2.8:

Setup using the Wizard

From Version 1.3 there is a rudimentary wizard (which will gain new features). To use this, provide the URL and Port and press "Update". Then open the wizard, choose the device you want to add and insert the parameters. Formatting and adding is done by the wizard.
It does, however, not support fhem_widget_command_2 for now

Setup of the Apple Watch App (from 2.3)

Actually there is not much to do. To reduce the app scope to the intended short-lived interactions I decided to go for an opt-in approach. By default, no device is shown in the app until the "locations" parameter contains "WATCH". So, just set the desired locations, press "Update" and you are good to go.
Internally all devices are MultiChannelDevices (see below).
Configurations are only transferred to the watch when "Update" is pressed.

RANGE devices are not yet supported. Feedback in the forum or via mail is appreciated.

Manual Setup

Add fhem_widget_command(_2) to the first line in your them.cfg which begins with attr global userattr. Like this:

attr global userattr fhem_widget_command fhem_widget_command_2

For all devices that you want to control add the attribute fhem_widget_command with the following JSON as value.

{
  "controlled_attribute": "desired-temp",
  "allowed_values": [
        "5.0",
        "6.0",
        "7.0",
        "8.0",
        "9.0",
        "10.0"
  ],
  "order": 2,
  "filter": "Reduced"
  "alias": "LocalAlias",
  "displayLocations":["APP","WIDGET"]
}

Subscriptions

The App is free to use for up to three devices. You can prepare more within your FHEM and play around with the device types but the list is always cut after three. To enable more devices as well as the sync service a subscription is needed. There are three auto-renewable subscriptions:

A Coffee for the Developer

Control more than three devices, access the Sync Service and get new features constantly for the price of one good coffee per six months

One Instant coffee a month

Control more than three devices, access the Sync Service and get new features constantly for the price of one instant coffee per month. Try one week free.

Information about auto-renewable subscriptions

You can deactivate the automatic renewal within your iTunes account settings until 24 hours before the renewal. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Your Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.
You can manage your subscriptions and auto-renewals by going to your Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when you purchases a subscription to that publication.
