EVA ICS Control Center client

EVA ICS has got the official EVA ICS Control Center client to access HMI from Android-based mobile phones.

F-Droid repository (recommended): https://pub.bma.ai/fdroid/repo

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.altertech.evacc

Direct APK download URL: https://pub.bma.ai/evacc/

The client is evaHI-based application, so it can be configured in the same way.

HMI service automatically maps ui/.evahi directory to /.evahi URI. If a front-end server is used, URI should be accessible without user authentication to let all application features work properly.

EVA WebEngine function eva.hiQR can be used to generate configuration QR code for the current authenticated user.

Building own client

A custom white-label Android client can be built from sources, customizing application class, name, menu, icons. Refer to evaHI building instructions.

Authentication

evaHI sends username/password only if basic authentication is set up. However API login method automatically detects evaHI client (by HTTP User-Agent header) and ask it to provide authentication credentials.

If there is no front-end with basic authentication set up for all clients, HMI can display login form for everyone, but let evaHI-based clients to try logging in automatically via EVA ICS WebEngine:

if (eva.in_evaHI) {
    eva.start();
} else {
    // show login form
}

Apple iOS and other mobile platforms

Currently we have no plans to release native iOS client, iPhone users may access HMI via 3rd-party apps or built-in mobile browser.
