Quickly add your own Expo/React-NativeμApps inside Gidjit
- if you do not find the features you were hoping for you can add your own custom React Native or Expo action and use Gidjit to contain, launch, and execute.
- add you actions with a QR code
- please take a look at a simple demo and tutorial at (https://github.com/gidjituser/react-native-gidjit) - the process is quick and easy and there will be more updates in the future
When advanced Panel mode is enabled an alternative screen and widget will be available where you can access actions based on your environment. For example location, time of day, activity, network, iBeacon region, and more. Launch actions based on when or where you are likely to use them. Disabled by default.
Gidjit works great with beacons (available at shop.gidjit.com). Trigger HomeKit and SmartThings scenes/routines as you enter or exit a beacon region. You can even add Reminders.
Example 1 (Location): You create a “Panel” that will trigger when you arrive at the office. You can then quickly access all of the apps and actions you associate with your office: launch task management apps, control specific smart devices, launch home security app, launch pre-configured emails or work contacts, launch podcasts or music playlists, and more. When you leave the office the panel will hide and reappears when you return to the office.
Key Features:
• 3D Touch: Apps and actions can be launched using 3D Touch, which includes an expanded details window that displays the actions of your current beacon region.
• ‘Action - Smart Launch & QuickView’ Widget: Launch actions from the widgets located in the Search Screen (Swipe Right – iOS10).
• Reminders/Alerts: Receive notifications as you enter or leave a Gidjit Beacons’ region. For example, place a Gidjit Beacon in your kitchen. Add a reminder to the kitchen Beacon from your bedroom at night and receive the reminder when you enter the kitchen in the morning (eg. “take meat out of freezer”).
Extra Info:
Gidjit does not require a login (except for third-party access like Smart Things, but that is through them). As per our privacy policy, we do not collect your personal data. The only data we collect is the name and identifier of apps we cannot open. When you first open the app you will be asked to give permission for location and other services. In order for Gidjit to scan your surroundings and be a useful app these services must be enabled.
