Support roomie URL scheme for URLs within Roomie

This thread is a feature request from 2013, preserved from the original Roomie Remote forum. It reflects what users were asking for at the time — many requests from this era have since shipped in Roomie Remote X. See current compatibility for today's device support.

In short

Question 2013-12 · older version

Not sure if there is a different way to achieve this, but I would like something similar to the "roomie://" URL scheme to work for URLs displayed within Roomie.

When I launch a URL in Safari, I can link "roomie://" and return to where I launched the URL from, however when I do the same thing within Roomie, the only way to get back is to tap the "< Activity Name" in the upper left. I'd like to be able to have links in the web page which take some action (in my case play a video on my dune player) and close the integrated browser (thus returning the user to transport controls for the dune).

+1. This would be very powerful if we could run roomie activities via url schemes sent from other apps.

[roomie://roomname/activitytorun](roomie://roomname/activitytorun)

[roomie://roomname/device/commandtosend](roomie://roomname/device/commandtosend)

etc.

Please add this.

Thank you,

Shawn

I also think this would be an extremely powerful feature. As an example, I would love to have the ability to have ISY-994 programs trigger Roomie activities using the ISY network module.

Using a URL to load an Activity in Roomie is already possible with Roomie Agent using the instructions here:

This thread is instead about iOS URL Schemes which are basically unrelated. The above is performed via a network call, iOS URL Schemes are an entirely local concept to your device.

Thank you.
