Hopefully this helps some of you who were really in a time constraint

This was my fear when Evothings started requiring a cloud token. Why can't we just connect point-to-point with an IP address like before?!

Paul Abbott

@phatpaul

Any way to run our own "Evothings Reload Server"? Or is that closed-source?

Paul Abbott

@phatpaul

So I cloned HyperReload (tried master and hyper2 branch). I can connect to the HyperReload server by entering the IP and port (instead of a "Key") into Evothings Viewer ( I entered http://192.168.2.109:4042). It connects, but my app won't load. Just says Loading... Any guidance on how to hack this to restore the direct connection?

@evothings_twitter

sorry sorry, we moved the AWS things around a bit and broke off some pieces, should be fixed now

You can always run the HyperReload software locally, but then the phone and computer need to be on the same wifi network

You can also write a URL in the app, in stead of a connect code, and it will show any web page (but won't autoreload)

like the http://evothings.com/demo page where we put a lot of the demo apps. You can run it w/o the server/pc

@mazekeeper

Should work now!

@ogunjobiali

Hi guys, pls is it possible to display mobile app built with Evo Things to dispaly on browser?

mazekeeper

@mazekeeper

Yes, just point your browser to deploy.evothings.com/connect/YOUR-KEY-HERE

(the plug-in stuff won't work obviously)

ogunjobiali

@ogunjobiali

Ok, thanks @mazekeeper

@PMMRanger

My viewer keeps disconnecting on it's own after about 1 minute. Never had this issue before, been using EVO for about 3 years. Any help is appreciated.

FYI... the HyperReload apk has been removed.

PMMRanger

@PMMRanger

NM... removed, reloaded the app, seems to be stable.

mazekeeper

@mazekeeper

ok, thanks for the heads-up. Usually, when that happends is about the networking, since we use web sockets it can botch up if it loses its socket

Hyper reload is still around, it's on our Github on page 2: https://github.com/evothings?page=2

(we have too many repos probably, so the oldest ones get bumped)

@PMMRanger

Not able to get a cloud token. Check agree and hit button, nothing happens. ???

I get that exact same issue ^^

@oulusoyum_twitter

i want to install evothings on raspberry pi. How can I do this? Can you help me?

@evothings_twitter

mazekeeper

@mazekeeper

For the Studio to run on a Raspberry, you just install Evothings Studio for Linux. To run "apps", use the browser on the Raspberry and enter deploy.evothings.com/connect/YOUR-CONNECT-KEY
although Cordova plug-in hooks like bluetooth won't work of course.

Onur Ulusoy

@oulusoyum_twitter

@mazekeeper Thank you so much.

Paul Abbott

@phatpaul

Does evothings ble plugin support reading/writing characteristics of arbritrary size? (i.e. "Prepare Write", "Long Write", etc)? I'm trying to find the best way to transfer a 1~4kB text file over BLE.

Paul Abbott

@phatpaul

Also, how can I see the current MTU so I can break-up my message if necessary?

@DougFortune_gitlab

I just built a mobile app for an iBeacon (first time doing this)- Do I need to upload my files to my website or how does the iBeacon know what packet to send out? (sorry, dumb question, but I am new to this)

Zoe

@Zoeinfp

Evothings is so great !!!!

Zoe

@Zoeinfp

I am working with IBKS 105 beacons and I need to create a web app to detect beacon and make an action when it's detected and I think that evothings can help a lot !

Doug Fortune

@DougFortune_gitlab

Hi Zoe@Zoeinfp , maybe you can answer my question? I just built a mobile app for an iBeacon (first time doing this)- Do I need to upload my files to my website or how does the iBeacon know what packet to send out? (sorry, dumb question, but I am new to this)

@Batsiraik

i m not seeing evothings viewer app on apple store

can anyone help with the link if possible

Brian Stromquist

@bstromquist

search for CGTek Viewer. evothings is not in the app store. CGTek viewer is a clone - works for me.

AsadUllah

@asadullah797_twitter

I would like to ask whether it is possible to use evothings as web application rather than native iOS or android app? because the EVO studio does not start until and unless it is paired with a mobile application

@sanyaade-machine-learning

@evothings_twitter, @phatpaul @faizaanshah @jaycassera_twitter : HyperReload and Evothings Studio both contains hyper code (both have folder named hyper that contains HyperReload code). Both also implemented port: 4042 even though Cloud based HyperReload scans for domain name and IP address. Evothings Studio and Evothings Viewer both connect to HyperReload cloud so in fact HyperReload acted as middle layer between the Studio and the Viewer.

If you run both HyperReload and Evothings-Studio locally on the same network then you will have port conflict problems since both of them are using port:4042. Obviously you want to start HyperReload first. You will be able to connect to it with the Viewer App by modifying the URL in the settings but Evothings-Studio wont work unless you change its own port address to something else and not 4042.

Also there are still some Ruby code around building HyperReload and some hard-coded paths and folders.

I will be doing some more exploration of them, built them in the past so it will nice to revisit those knowledge again

See:
Evothings-Viewer ==> App.js; study it very well.
Evothings-Studio ==> Hyper/setting/setting.js; Also most the files inside the hyper/server folde e.g. file-server.js; app, uuid, monitor, etc.. are important core to understanding how inter-process communication between those there packages work and exchange data
HyperReload: ==> again see the hyper folder and look at hyper-server.js (to see how server-base(URL) App-path, IP-address, etc... are set-up). The webserver.js (mini webserver that host HyperReload). Have fun!

See Also: MoSync and Reload: this is where its all began

Hi, My drag and drop isn't working in evothings my apps, any clues please?

Rob

@rm-rf-etc

Has anyone had success running evothings with a create-react-app project? I have a react project which I am building for desktop (electron), mobile (evothings / cordova), and web.

Running the project with evothings is almost completely working. The main trouble I have is that the index.html file evothings reads is not the index.html that the webpack dev-server generates. I've had some success by making these two files very similar, but some things still don't work, like the CSS generated by the styled-components library. This is broken because the CSS get's dynamically injected into the head of the index.html file.

Does anyone know how to direct evothings to read the index.html output from webpack dev-server?

Rob

@rm-rf-etc

Wow, I guess it's really dead around here

bkowalczyk21

@bkowalczyk21

@evothings_twitter Has anyone gotten the TypeError: ble.** is not a function/ is undefined for certain BLE calls that are supposedly in the BLE Plug-In. For example, ble.connect works but ble.connectToDevice returns the error. Similarly, ble.readCharacteristic works but ble.getCharacteristic returns the error. Anyone know what to do about this?

Hello, I am using Evothings 2.2.1, and it keeps disconnecting ! I have to keep connecting over and over again.

@mazekeeper - Hello - I remember working with you a year back and I started on Evothings again.
Is the app still supported ? I dont see much of an activity on this forum !

@rm-rf-etc - Did someone reply to your query ? is this forum active ? any developers here ?

FredGr

@FredGr

Hello, when I started developping multiplatform app, evothings has been really helpful. From time to time you can get support on this forum from other users.

Then I shifted to using Cordova directly and realized this is not so difficult even if you have to do the manual reload every time. But you get better control especially if you want to do some specific things with new cordova plugin. Hope it helps.

does anyone know why evothings workbench does not return a key?

sanyaade-machine-learning

@sanyaade-machine-learning

I heard that the jury is out on Evothings framework so in order to use it locally I downgraded to 2.0 which was last version of Evothings Workbench that runs locally without cloud connection. I was planning to scale up that edition gradually but doing so will violate the organisation intention. Also I look at PhoneGap Desktop, Snack-web, Expo and other similar framework that has hot-reload (A.K.A Live-Reload). Right now I am working on setup a server at home for machine learning, later on I will come back to Evothings

God blesses!!!
