xAP is an open protocol aimed at connecting disparate Home Automation devices. Last week James Traynor released his 'xAP Viewer', a free iOS App aimed at xAP users...
"It's been a while, hope all are well and busy doing a little xapping in that precious free time. I thought it was about time for a new app so having something for you and it's a bit of a different direction.The app is xAP Viewer for iOS. You can view messages per device with the option to resend. You can just view the last message received. See the xAP rate/min. There is a library of messages for you to simulate, such as display messages and cid, and you can tweak the messages before you send them or just start from blank. If the device being viewed is a BSC one you can add it to the app's homescreen and use it as a simple control allowing the usual on,off,toggle and dim ( with a nice slider) as well as seeing feedback from the device's state. I should point out this is native xAP, it
doesn't need any server side element, router or anything else. It's iPhone only for now, I will have a look at doing an iPad version later on. It's all rather new so still finding my feet with it so the first steps will be working out any kinks but I hope it'll be useful. Also it's free so nothing to lose. I should point out this is native xAP, it doesn't need any server side element, router or anything else. If there is demand I was thinking a proper remote app might well be a good direction, not sure but open for ideas. As they say, now available in the app store." - You can view messages per device with the option to resend.
