Q&A

At the moment all incoming data is indeed presented in ASCII. I will check how complicated it is to present it in HEX.
I will update the forum as soon as this is available.
thanks for the feedback

Hi,
I found your software while trying to wrap my head around tcp server/client communication. From the way it works, is your app both a server and client or just a server? This will help my understanding of the topic.

Cheers.

hello

i want to create a circuit that can be connect to a wife modem by lan port via a cable and switch some relays with android app in my phone by wifi connection without Internet access.

not a problem, will answer via e-mail...

Hi Bernardt,
I am sorry, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do.
The tracker device is connected to the internet via a SIM card, meaning it is on the cellular network, correct?
What network is your Android phone/tablet on?
Does that network allow for incoming UDP / TCP packets from the internet to that specific device (most networks do not allow that)?

Hi Chris,
In order to use HEX values, you will have to set the entire command in HEX.
And for the application to send the command in HEX:

• Open settings
• Scroll to the "protocol" section
• Click on it and select "HEX"
• From now on, this template will send all commands in HEX

It is important to remember, that all of the commands within this template must be a fully qualified HEX string, meaning, if your command should be: (0x02)START(0x03)
You should enter: 02535441525403

Let me know if this works out for you.

Hi Reza,
I apologize for the late reply.
All of these features exist already, you can see in the guide thread how to send a reply that will change the color and text a button is showing.
I copy pasted the text here so you can use it:
How to use "handle incoming settings" - developed for Phil Green:
1. Enable the feature in the settings
2. Set the application to 'listen' on a UDP port (or TCP)
3. Send a UDP string to the device in this SPECIFIC format:
**B<buttonID>,,<buttonName>,,<buttonCommand>,,<buttonColor>;
You can have as many button as you want within the same string, here is an example of how to use this:
**B05,,Test Name5,,PEACE,,#ffffff00;**B06,,Test Name6,,123,,#ff0000ff;**B07,,,,456,,#ff00ffff;
4. Note: the string MUST end with ';'
5. If you wish to only change the label and not the command or color, simply leave that blank, for example:
**B07,,,,OK,,,,;
This will set Button 7 command to be "OK" and will not change the color or name (label)

How to use responses from "handling incoming messages":
The purpose here is to allow the remote device to confirm that the settings were set properly.
To use this:
1. Enable in settings (both the handling of incoming messages and the reply)
2. Set the correct outgoing settings (IP/Port), of where the application should send the response to
3. Send a "setting" string
The reply protocol is:
**R+<StatusCode>+,,+<TimeInMilisecondsItTookToProcess>
Possible Status Codes:
01 - success
02 - error
Sample reply string will be:
**R01,,45
Which means, incoming settings were processed without a problem and it took a total of 45ms.

Let me know if you need anything else.

HI Micko,
I am sorry, but at the moment I will not be adding this functionality.

Can you provide more details on your setup?
Are you using UDP/TCP?
What is the command that you are sending back to the device?
What version of the application you are using?
Have you enabled the option in the settings?

I recently added the option to set each button color separately, you might want to try that as well.

Thanks for using my application

Understood, thank you, I will look into that ASAP.
Thanks

It works
Thanks
Add in the next version to send commands at startup applications and cyclically.
The buttons will act as controls.

Hi trystian

The forums are here for this purpose, no need to apologize or anything, every software has bugs, and I am happy when people report them, allowing me to fix them.

I will look into this ASAP, but I can %##ure you that timeouts are handled, it is probably something else, I'll do my best to find and fix it.

Thanks for letting me know

Hi..I want to communicate between two android mobiles. I have created a hotspot in one mobile and connected with another one. Shall I able to use use app??

Hi. Love the app. I'd like to propose a feature that would be very helpful to me. If a button is pressed and held down it would be nice if it repeated the command with a set time delay to be defined in settings until button is released.
