iSmartGate app with more than one device

Questions & Help
1

Hi,

I’m using the iSmartGate app and its working fine. My problem is that the app only allows me to connect to one iSmartGate device in the settings and I have two devices? Is there anyway to solve this? Can I for example install a second instance of the app that I configure with my second IsmartGate device?

Thanks for any help in this matter.

Hi Philip,

When you’re familiar with CLI installs (find howto here), you can install a second iSG app, but only after you change the app ID a bit in the
.homeycompose/app.json file;
Change line 1 into, for example:
"id": "com.gogogate.ismartgatephilip"
and change line 11 into, for example
"en": "ismartgatephilip"

This should make adding your 2nd iSG device possible

YW, Philip!

The possible fixes / solutions are returned, but you have to read the error message carefully

(By ‘install in your app’ is meant:
when the path is the app folder, run
npm install
This way ‘npm’ gets installed into the app code)

There can be several error messages after each command, with a proposed fix.
In the end, the app should install error free @ Homey
