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 (due to the use of the Bluelink API, technically this is against the terms and conditions of Bluelink)

As such, installation is a little more than just “install an app” but honestly not that much more:

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 of choice. See the apple guide if you need help.

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-scriptable
  • For “When Interacting” choose Run Script

Thats it your done. Enjoy bluelink-scriptable!
