[Published] RSS App

edited May 2016 in Apps
I just completed my work on a very basic RSS application. All it does is when the action is triggered read the given rss feed and let homey tell you the first 10 article titles it can find. 

App: https://apps.athom.com/app/eu.jeroensomhorst.feedreader
Source: https://github.com/jjtbsomhorst/homeyrss

It's in approval phase.

    Great I was waiting for a RRS app. Is it also posible that you use it as a trigger?

    User is home >> AND << RRS new item >>THEN<< Flash lights and Read RRS

  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    I have to look into that.

    It think it should be possible to store title [1] in a variable, regularly check the feed and if title[1] is different from the stored variable have Homey read title[1] ?
  • posthokposthok Member
    Also in dutch available?
  • bvdbosbvdbos Member
    Does it matter? If you have Homey on dutch and you enter a dutch URL it should read the news just fine...

    I will add soms translations. But the feed will be read by homey in its current language. So if you have a dutch feed but your homey is set to English it will try to read the text as being english. Currently there is no support for descriptions it only reads titles.(this is because descriptions can in HTML)

    That can be done but imagine this. You add the rss feed for this forum on your homey. You add it to the flow that it will read a new article whenever there is one. At some point I mention you in a forum topic at 03:00 in the morning.. Homey will scare the cra.. out of you because it noticed a new article..

    There's s simple card for it: "time after 7.00" and "time before 23.00". Still, my dog won't like it if Homey shouts every news-item during the day. Perhaps a third condition should be added: "when I'm home".

    Lets see what I can do. I could ofcourse make the card available so that you can react on it when you're flow needs it.

    Is it possible to have an option to choose between the article itself or just the titles? 
  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    At the moment no. Because in the sample I took the descriptoin field was empty. But I could make a change so that you can define what you want. 
  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    I just updated the github repo. It is now possible to define what Homey should dictate. You can choose from Title, Description or both. The title argument has been removed. This argument was used to have Homey dictate which feed it was going to read. But because most feeds do have a title this is obsolete.

    You'll need the striptags and substring(255) for your app too, just to be on the safe-side. I created a pull-request for the NOS-app, really simple to take in the RSS-app too. Perhaps these are incorporated in the feed-read-parser already?

    I have to check that if it is. 
  • nklerknklerk Member
    I was waiting for something like this. I would love to have a p2000 RSS feed to check if my city is mentioned, if it is then I want to know. I'll give it a try.
  • bvdbosbvdbos Member
    P2000 is on twitter isn't it? You could use the twitter-app for this...
  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    There is a p2000 feed available: http://www.livep2000.nl/?p=rssfeedsInfo

    Haven't tested it yet
  • WathLamersWathLamers Member

  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    Thanks for that. If you have any questions or feature request. Just let me know
  • 0burner00burner0 Member

    https://www.alarmeringdroid.nl/rssbuilder

    Only problem for me is the trigger now.
    I realy like to use the feed as a trigger.

    If RSS update then Read new item and flash lights  o:)
  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    I will investigate this in the near future on how to implement this.

    I don't find the option to choose between Title, Discription or Both. Do I something wrong? I just installed the app from the store and used the card in a flow. 
  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    the version that you can install from the app store does not yet have this feature. You can install it using the developer tools. Due to lack of free time I havent had time to submit the current version. I will do so in the future but I want to rewrite the app beforehand because there are some issue's I'm aware of. 
  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    I just submitted a new version for approval. This version is a complete rewrite of the app. Therefore it is needed to re-add the card to your flows. 

    New feature included is that you can now specify the amount of items to be returned and also the option to specificy what you want to hear is now in the app. 
  • HansieNLHansieNL Member
    Would it be possible to add an option for more then one rss feed so we for example can say 1. what's the NOS news 2. what's the latest local news 3. and so on...

    Is this what you mean?
    When the first card is spoken out, then the second comes.

  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    I just submitted version 1.0.1. There was a bug that caused the app to stop working after it had read the first rss feed. It should be fixed now in github
