Can anyone tell me how/what the widget is for? What info can it display?
It can display a specific groupchat
See example:
So I use my WhatsApp as a timeline to send useful info to. So I can see it in my WhatsApp and also on my wall
Okay, thanks, however when i enter the reguested code from the widget, in the groupchat i want to add in the widget, nothing happensā¦ How do i get it to work?
@Nastybaloo and homey is in that groupchat as a admin?
Not Homeyā¦ How di i do that? ( i am an admin in there)
@Nastybalood I really need more info on your setup before I can help you
Did you configure WhatsApp in homey? Or did you just install the app and tried the widget? Because the widget does need a WhatsApp device first
No, i did configure it, and it has a device in Homey. I can use that to send a message from the device to what to the group, that works fine. But i cannot get the widget to display anything yetā¦
@Nastybaloo so is the number you configured in your homey part of the group which you want to display on the widget?
Yes, it isā¦ But it was Fault 40ā¦Sorry for that. Im th eidiot, i forgot to put the updated 4 digit code from the widget in the chat in Whatsappā¦ Now it works, thanks. I will name my next 3 children after you
@kooskortekaas
Yes this is possible. Therefore you need to get the group answer code.
Use the if card āNew Messageā and the Then card āSend Messageā in the then card use the tag answer code.
Now send a message to the group of your liking where you homey account is part off. Then youāll get something like this 1234567@g.us . This you can use to determine the group.
Nice!
@martijnpoppen I have the following behaviour, is that expected? Or is the repair flowcard not working
1 app not updated yet, but my pairing code is expired (I left it that way to test the update)
2 updated the app to 1.28.0
3 waited
4 next day it showed an error in the timeline (good!)
BUT
I had also created the following flow:
This flow has not triggered yetā¦
Is that correct behavior? (It only triggers at the moment the pairing code becomes expired, and mine was already?)
Request:
Can you also make a AND card with the check?
I would like to have the message at a specific time:
WHEN: 00:01
AND: a new pairingcode is needed
THEN: send a message
@FKey it gives this when you start the app. But probably it didnāt work on install as the card was not there yet
I will check the AND card if itās possible
@martijnpoppen,
When sending a message it has as input: āMobile number / Group invite linkā.
Why not extend the text with ā/ Reply codeā?
I discovered (after diving in to this forum, the source code and logging all parameters to a google sheet) that you can also use the Reply code / replyTo / remoteJid as recipient.
For me there was some guidance missing on what to do with the reply code.
Btw. Thanks for this great App!
@bobvanoijen because the reply code only exists if you use the message received card
So when you are only using this app to send messages that might be really confusing
I tested it by restarting the app again, works fine I received the push triggered by the new card.
Thanks
For me it sounds logical that you only can have a reply code when your replying to an earlier message.
It just wasnāt clear to me how to use the reply code.
In particular, because it only said āMobile number / Group invite linkā.
@bobvanoijen I can add it to the hint. Or feel free to create a PR
It would be a great hint!
Creating a PR from my phone right now is a little hardā¦
Thanks for you quick response.
