Removed Capability Audio Notification from the beta version maintaining compatibility with the Hubitat version. This also removed the playTrack command.
Using playSound in WebCore
hi, curious about the running of apps section of things here. how would i direct webcore to say, bring chrome to the front on a certain webpage? or how to run ipcampro with certain arguments ?
thanks, looks amazing !
The best answers for WebCore questions are generally received on the WebCore forum
You mention Chrome, this DTH controls Fully Browser, not Chrome. Should you want this DTH to load a webpage in the Fully Browser from WebCore it would be part of a do statement, select command loadURL, the Url is set as as a string parameter.
Sorry, slip of the tongue with the āchromeā word, meant ābrowserā.
Iām familiar with webcore. I (mistakenly?) believed that launchAppPackage() would allow a particular app installed on the target device to run?
Yup. You will need to know the package app id though.
When I was playing with it I was testing by making the ring app launch when motion was detected at the front door. The package id I think was ācom.ringappā. I then had it bring fully back to the front after a minute. Of course though this solution didnāt work as the ring app doesnāt launch right into video so it was pointless.
But you can launch anything you want once you know the package id.

Changes
launchAppPackage(āappNameā)
Ooooā¦ Interesting. At work at the mo, shall have a play later. Good stuff!
I had ipcampro set up for the same reason - I donāt think blue iris viewer allows arguments to say, select view of a certain cam, fullscreen or whatever.
How would I use this app to pass along arguments ? Ta = )
Not possible. FKB didnāt build that into the API. All they allow is launching of the app.
Would have been a nice to have though.
You can launch the URL for the Blue Iris server but it shows all the cameras. good start though.
Hi there folks
Just a little question regards all this which looks great.
Is there a screen saver which can be set remotely which can have messages changed remotely?
Iām wanting a screen saver which cycled through, say Date & Time, Weather, Some message, a QR Code etc. but then on an event, say a door being opened would show a new page for 5 minutes before reverting to the screen saver.
Well, this doesnāt work anymore. It did work, for a few cycles last night. Now I can only seem to get this to to work if fully is already frontscreen. If itās in the background, the commands donāt fnction.
itās as if fully keeps closing down in the background. any ides ?
Try issuing a bringFullyToFront() command prior to whatever is failing while it is background.
Tried. Does nothing.
Even the smart app interface buttons wonāt function. But bring it to the frontā¦ All good then. Iām a little confused.
Is this on an Amazon Fire device?
Nah, android. Oddly enough, the 2nd box downstairs (which is the one I use for voice notifications for smartthings) has functioned perfectly since initially trying your apps out and our communication started. But I only use that for tts.
The cams/browser/gotourl stuff Iāve tried last night is only on the upstairs TV box. Iām wondering if itās something specific with that box thatās causing the prob. It needs a bit more investigation I guess. The easiest thing would be to attempt the same on the original ātts boxā, to see if its all cool there but failing on the TV box.
Hope that makes sense!
I use the app for sounds and TTS on 2 Fire tablets and on old Samsung phone. Fully is 99+% in foreground except when Ring hack kicks in showing the door camera. Itās been 99.9% for me. Sometimes I feel the tablets run out of CPU.
Since your devices are Android, there is a setting to stop Andoid from putting an app so sleep.
Thanks for that. Iāll have a play over the next couple of days. =)
