Hotel rooms, ipad to view multiplex screen on SecuritySpy

MaxSupergiovane

Hi
I need to install about 120 ipads, one in each hotel’s room. These iPads must been locked in single app mode to allow guests to view some ip cameras.
I tought to use SecuritySpy in multiplex mode, but currently, there is no way to automatically open securityspy in multiplex mode. I have to open the app and manually start the multiplex.
Is this option planned in the future releases?
Thanks.

This isn't currently possible, and I'm not sure if the addition of such a setting would be appropriate. Are you sure it wouldn't actually be better to open on the "Cameras" section as it does at the moment? This allows the live viewing of the cameras in a scrollable list, with each one that can be tapped for large access. This would seem to be a nice interface for hotel guests.

Alternatively, would it solve your problem if we were to create a new URL scheme item to open the app in Multiplex mode? In this case, you would have to start the app with a link such as "securityspy:///multiplex".

Yes the url scheme could/work in Siri Shortcuts too ?
The multiplex is handy even in an automated home where Siri Shortcuts and homekit (with a hack or two) can automatically bring up the desired view instead of being stuck at just opening the app as it is possible atm

kaps could you please depict in detail how you are integrating Spy in your smart home.

I am going to put an iPad at the wall dashboarding my smart home (99 % HomeKit, Homebridge) and want to integrate Spy as well.. Any recommendation?

Hi Ben
Yes, such as app link you proposed, whould be the solution to go. Thanks.

Ben

Great to hear that, we will add this to the URL scheme and I will let you know when we have a version for you to test.
