Big button url question

[ScaryJerry]

Hi, I can create a shortcut in iOS to load the big buttons page but I haven't figured out how to create a shortcut to individual buttons on the big buttons page. How do I capture that url?
Thank you!

The buttons are configured in FPP

If you're trying to create a desktop shortcut that just plays a button press without opening the BigButton url itself, I don't think there is an option for that.

I just use a random 'button' app on IOS that I can configure to have buttons that call the FPP web api

Daryl, I'd sure like to understand what you wrote!

Big Buttons are just buttons to run FPP Commands.  I think the easiest way to do this with a GET is to create a Command Preset to call the command you want to run.  You can then have the Big Button configured to either run the same command or trigger the preset.

The command preset gives you an easy URL to trigger the command.  If your preset name is "PRESET_LIGHTS_OFF", then you can run it by hitting a URL like this:

"http://192.168.1.1/api/command/Trigger Command Preset/PRESET_LIGHTS_OFF"

That is probably easier than trying to put all the command's arguments in your URL.  You can edit the actual command called by editing the preset and then just trigger the preset from your phone button.

I did a talk at the Sydney mini a few years ago that included some more detail @ScaryJerry
