Development on hold

[EOppie]

MCV will be in trouble with their Android users now.

Damn, love that app

It is disheartening, yet understandable to see development on hold. Can't wait to see the fruits of your future endeavors as your app was the sole reason I chose Vera as my automation hub.

Thank you for everything.  I am watching vera fall apart at a rapid pace and I can't even imaging the frustration they have caused you.  Please know that we appreciate you efforts and wish you the absolute best in the future.  As many others have stated, we will be happy to follow.  Thank you!

I would like to echo the other statements here.  Your app is what helped me decide to stick with vera.  Would you be open to releasing your source code or putting it up on github for others to pick up and continue what you started?

[garrettwp]

Right now I do not have plans to release the source code. Maybe in the future, but not at the moment.

Sorry to hear this.  Thanks for the app, though.  I really appreciate(d) it

Sorry to hear this, Garrett thanks a lot for the excellent work with AutHomation!

I'm hoping Garrett restarts development on AuthomationHD as it's still my primary app on all Android devices.
If he devices to fully move to a different platform (eg OpenHab) all I can hope for is that he decides in open the source or finds a worthy successor to take over development as it would be a shame to let such an excellent product die. If Garrett decides to make an AuthomationHD for whichever platform he moves to that will be a strong draw for me to evaluate that platform. 

If/When development restarts, I hope he adds the ability to merge multiple Vera's into one like ImperiHome seems to do. I just added my Ui7 to the existing Ui5 one already in that app and it is showing both at the same time. Granted, I have some duplicate rooms and some duplicate camera's but I can now see all devices on both Vera's without having to switch between them. As in preparation for the Ui7 migration I have been adding all new devices to my Vera 3 running UI7 (Only if they cause issues will the be moved to the Vera 3 running Ui5) and that requires having multiple tabs open on my desktop or in AuthomationHD, swap between controllers.

It's no longer in development but is it still possible to install the app?  I can't find it in the play store any more and the google drive apk link comes up with a terms of service violation.  It's a great app currently working on my G3 running lollipop so it should be great to use for the forseeable future.

The latest AuthomationHD beta is still available and runs pretty stable.

See the first post in the below thread, download and install it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh awesome.  Thanks a million for that.!

[BOFH]

You're welcome. Do realize it is a beta but it does work with Ui6/Ui7 MMS authentication. One thing, auto-configuration is switched off as I believe it was causing issues. So you have to set up the information for your Vera manually. Other than that it works pretty well and even supports the Multiswitch device. Garrett also implemented some different tile sizes but I'm not sure if all of that is 100% yet.

[johnes]

Well, that beta is light years ahead of vera.  I just wonder why MCV never just bought that app and used it as their own.

[BOFH]

Yup. It's one hell of an app. Since Garrett put development on hold and the one in the Google play store does not support UI7 I can understand why he removed it from the play store since all new Vera's come with UI7.

I'm very appreciative of the fact he left the beta version up and available.
