Java/Android Client Library for HomeGenie.
To edit/build the library, open it in Android Studio. For building the library jar file, use the gradlew command from terminal:
./gradlew makeJarthe jar file will be generated in the homegenieclientlib\build\outputs folder.
After adding the homegenieclientlib as a dependency to your project, your application will be able to connect to HomeGenie as shown in the example below.
After the connection is estabilished the client application can access to Groups and Modules data structures, that are real-time updated through a SSE stream.
In order to receive SSE events a class implementing EventSourceListener interface must be provided as the second parameter of the Control.connect method.
The com.glabs.homegenie.client.data.Module object extends Observable, so another way to get notification when a module changes is implementing Observer
interface and register using the method <module_of_interest>.addObserver(o).
Estabilishing a connection to HG from a class implementing EventSourceListener :
private Control hgControl = new Control();
public void homegenieConnect() {
hgControl.setServer(
"192.168.1.10",
"admin",
"thepassword",
false, // Use SSL?
false // Accept all SSL certificates?
);
hgControl.setServerEventsListener(this);
hgControl.connect(new Control.DataUpdatedCallback() {
@Override
public void onRequestSuccess() {
// Connection succesful, groups and modules updated
// use Control.getModules() and Control.getGroups()
// to get groups and modules list
}
@Override
public void onRequestError(Control.ApiRequestResult apiRequestResult) {
// Connection error!
// apiRequestResult.StatusCode and apiRequestResult.ResponseBody properties
// hold the error data
}
}, this);
}
@Override
public void onSseConnect() {
// this is fired when the SSE connection is estabilished
}
@Override
public void onSseEvent(Event event) {
// this is fired every time a new event is received from the server
Log.i("Event received:")
Log.i(" " + event.Timestamp);
Log.i(" " + event.Domain);
Log.i(" " + event.Source);
Log.i(" " + event.Description);
Log.i(" " + event.Property);
Log.i(" " + event.Value);
}
@Override
public void onSseError(String error) {
// this is fired if the SSE connection failed
}
Disconnecting from server:
public void homegenieDisconnect() {
hgControl.disconnect();
}
Accessing Groups and Modules data structures:
// get the list of all modules
ArrayList<Module> modules = hgControl.getModules();
// get the list of all groups
ArrayList<Group> groups = hgControl.getGroups();
// get modules of the group at index 0
ArrayList<Module> groupModules = groups.get(0).Modules;
// get a module using its domain and address
Module module = hgControl.getModule("HomeAutomation.X10", "B3");
// making a service API call
hgControl.apiRequest("HomeAutomation.HomeGenie/Config/Groups.List", new ApiRequestCallback(){
@Override
public void onRequestSuccess(ApiRequestResult result) {
// handle response here,
// result.ResponseBody hold the text of the response
}
@Override
public void onRequestError(ApiRequestResult result) {
// Request error!
// apiRequestResult.StatusCode and apiRequestResult.ResponseBody properties
// hold the error data
}
});
