Install Guide
Bluelink Scriptable is a “scriptable app”. Its written in Javascript and runs within the scriptable IOS app. Using scriptable meant a vastly reduced amount of development time was required, and no pesky app store rejections
As such, installation is a couple more test than just “install an app”. However once installed the app will prompt and auto-install new versions as they are released!.
Install Steps
Step 1: Install the scriptable app and open it.
Step 2: Download the latest egmp-bluelink.js file using your iPhone.
Step 3: Using the IOS Apple Files app, move the egmp-bluelink.js
file from the Downloads directory into the “iCloud Drive” -> “Scriptable” directory.
Step 4: Open the scriptable app and choose “egmp-bluelink”. This launches the app for the first time and a settings screen will popup asking you to fill in your Bluelink login credentials, and set your preferences.
Note: Your Bluelink credentials are securely kept on your IOS keychain, the bluelink scriptable app never sends your credentials to anywhere except the Bluelink API, just like the offical app.
Step 5: Once you enter your credentials and press “Save” the app will close. Click on “egmp-bluelink” again and the app will open and be available for use.
Step 6: Create a new widget on your homescreen or lockscrren . See the apple guide if you need help. The Widget Page shows the available widgets to choose from
When configuring the widget, make sure you:
- Choose “Scriptable” from the list of widgets
- Choose the medium size (the only one supported)
- Click on the widget on your homescreen to configure it.
- For “Script” choose egmp-bluelink
- For “When Interacting” choose Run Script
Step 7: (Optional but Recommended) Continue to install the Siri IOS Shortcuts and the Control Center controls
Thats it your done. Enjoy bluelink-scriptable!
