![]() With the emergence of HTML5, mobile webpages are becoming fancier and more dynamic. For example, the pages may have fewer elements than the desktop version, and buttons may appear larger, etc. Mobile webpages are not a new thing: when you use your phone or any mobile device to browse webpages, such as a bank’s homepage, the server will automatically detect what kind of device you are using, and return a page that’s optimized for mobile browsing experience. So what’s a mobile web app? Simply speaking, it’s a webpage which appears like an app. I am not aware of any effort to write Android apps. When writing the firmware for OpenSprinkler, I did consider a few tricks to make the webpage look a little nicer on a mobile browser, but the interface is still evidently written by an engineer, namely me □ So far there have been a couple of efforts, mostly by OpenSprinkler users, to write iPhone apps (which I will blog about later). To be frank, I have never written a mobile app myself. Since the beginning of OpenSprinkler, requests for an iPhone or Android app have never stopped. For OpenSprinkler Pi users: the same RPi that drives your OSPi can be used as the HTTP server, so no additional RPi needed! You can either use a desktop server, or a Raspberry Pi (instructions given below), or an external server. The main requirement to enable this web app is an HTTP server with PHP support.
