Deep Link URL for Control 4 app


Tad

Recommended Posts

I use a menu program for smarthings called actiontiles.  It works great. The one thing I need it to do is launch the Control 4 app.  To do this you need what as known as the "deep link url" for the Control 4 app. Does anyone know what it is?  Thanks for any help.

For OS 2 on iOS you can open the url

control4v2://test

Now the app might not be able to open it directly (apps must contain the urls they open when submitted to apple). But mail and safari don't have the restriction, so you can host a web page on the internet with a redirect in it. Something like 

<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=control4v2://test" /></HEAD><BODY>Redirecting to C4</BODY</HTML>

Then put the url of the webpage in your app. It will open safari, which will then open this url.

It could work for android as well, but I've not looked in the APK to see which intents (urls) it will support.

For OS 3 - I couldn't see a url in the info.plist, so it won't work for that.

Look at using "Fully Kiosk" instead of action tiles or along with action tiles. Currently using it on my Fire tablets for wall mount and a huge fan as its limiting tablet use to just be home control. 

Action tiles has a few neat features but for 7 euro this is a pretty sweet setup they are set to use the camera also so the go to sleep and when I walk by they wake.

You could do this using our free SplashTiles tool, driver, and app

The flow would be

  1. C4 button in 3rd party tool (Actiontiles, etc) would call a SplashTiles REST api url    for a NetPlay Cloud command
  2. NetPlay Cloud command can execute the QLAUNCH command for the C4 app  (usually via IRUSB), loading it on the device of your choice

This works for Android based devices, not iOS
