UniPi & Xojo

Targets Raspberry Pi
1

I’ve been trying the UniPi with Xojo, and if there is one (huge) pi hat in the world that is working fast then it’s the UniPi.
Using Xojo you can control it from iOS, Mac, Windows, Linux, Web App or even on the Raspberry Pi itself.

This will lift Home/Industrial automation to a whole new level.

I’ve installed Evok, the control software on the Pi. Then i created a Web App on my mac with a simple subclass of HTTPSocket, put a simple REST call in it and the UniPi Worked out of the box.

Interested what the UniPi is ? Read here: unipi.technology
UniPI Evok (software): Evok Link here

Basicly UniPi could be seen as a PLC / relay board with IO’s and Anolog Inputs/Outputs.

This post basicly confirms the UniPi working with Xojo. And it’s even very easy, using a HTTPSocket and simple url (GET/POST) calls to get or set IO’s and Relays.

Sounds really nice!
If I had a house I would most definitely try it out as it seems to be easy to use :wink:

It is nice. A little pricy but it really is an easy RPi hat.

Hi @Derk Jochems
Is using the web-interface the only way to controll the UniPi?
Or is it a kind of extra’s and is using the PIGPIO library also possible?

It is possible, but undocumented as far as i know. I just got it working using a custom made app and httpsocket on localhost using the unipi port.
