Hi, I’ve been using the Emoncms.org mainsite & the app for sometime, they are both very powerful and useful. I have though thought of a possible mod that could improve the mobile app further. The app at present is focussed on power and electric generation where multiple screens of power can be crea…

Hey @jamieg . Are you using the iOS or Android app? Or both? I develop the iOS app, so I’m definitely interested in your suggestions. I like that idea and I’ll have a look at what I can do there. It wouldn’t even have to be just the public dashboards but also your own dashboards that are private as …

Ah, I’ve looked and listing the dashboards requires the write key, annoyingly. Inputs are the same. We could change that though. But at least the iOS app currently only asks for the read key, which makes sense, and I don’t want to expose asking for the write key unless we really need it.

Hi Matt, many thanks for your reply, it looks like we share a common goal. Unfortunately I’m using the Android platform but maybe if you make some progress on iOS some the other Android developers will stir into action. I initially only thought about linking to public dashboards, they launch fine v…

Another possible consideration is the graphs. The graphs produced and saved by the graph module are now accessible using the graph name and readkey. I just took a peek at the dashboard module and it would be a trivial change to make the dashboard/list.json api available via the read apikey. I wish…

[image] pb66: Or at least set up emoncms as a “Progressive Web App” “Responsive” is the modern term for this ;-). Agreed - that’d be very nice. I think there’s value in having a native app, but a responsive web app would fill a huge gap. Would be a massive overhaul though!

[image] mattjgalloway: The thing that makes me a bit cautious is that it won’t help for people who don’t update emoncms. Perhaps we should get those changes in sooner rather than later to reduce the likelyhood of that, it seems daft to have “read” access requiring a write apikey which ever wa…

[image] pb66: Perhaps we should get those changes in sooner rather than later Yep. Let’s do it. In fact the input list api is already fixed thanks to @TrystanLea ! I’ll go ahead and put up a PR for dashboards too. Unless someone beats me to it. [image] pb66: Agreed, I wasn’t suggesting it…

So I added dashboards to the iOS app last night, however I still need to do the change to the dashboards API to make it only require read access. In the app, for both inputs and dashboards, I show a message if you don’t have an updated emoncms.

Many thanks @mattjgalloway for your prompt work on this. Hopefully your work will eventually pave the way to make this feature available in the Android app.
