Apple Watch Interface

An Apple Watch interface can be created visually through the Project Editor or using a Project's UISet (to dynamically build Watch interfaces).

Objects

Label

A label object to display text. Text can be on multiple rows. The object's height will adjust to contain the text.

Parameters

• id: the object's ID, used by UISets, optional
• text: the label's text

UISet Attributes

• text: to dynamically modify the text

Button

A button object that executes an action.

Parameters

• id: the object's ID, used by UISets, optional
• label: the button's label
• action: the button's action

The action parameter specifies the type of action and can have the following values:

• user: similar to a User Button object, sends a User call to the server
• device: similar to a Button object, controls a light or automation device
• url: requests the specified URL

Each type of action uses different parameters as following.

User Parameters

• name: name passed to the Java callback method and event in EVENTS
• parameter: parameter passed to the Java callback method and event in EVENTS

Device Parameters

• address: device data point name

Device Parameters

• url: the URL to be requested. Its return value will give a different feedback: "ack" (success feedback) or "error" (failure feedback)

UISet Attributes

• label: to dynamically modify the button's label
• visible: true|false, specifies the object visibility

Light

The light object displays a "light" icon on the left of the button. It has the same parameters as the "Button" object. If the "action" is "device", Its icon changes to reflect the status of the associated device address.

UISet Attributes

• label: to dynamically modify the button's label
• state: used to change the icon state if the "action" is not "device". Can be "off", "on" or "unknown".
• visible: true|false, specifies the object visibility

OnOff

Same as the Light object, but displays an on/off icon.

Shutter

Same as the Light and OnOff objects, but with an additional parameter "mode" for the direction of the shutter. The UISet "state" can have the following values: "up", "down", "offup", "offdown", "unknown".

Slider

Same as the Button object, but sends a value as well.

If action is "device", the slider's value is updated with the corresponding device's state.

If the action is "user", the slider's value is sent as parameter.

If the action is "url", the slider's value will be replaced in the URL where "%value" is found.

E.g. If the url is "http://www.myurl.com/slider?%value" and the slider's value is changed to "77", the following URL is requested: "http://www.myurl.com/slider?77"
