Web UI Native Wrapper
-
I looked at making some of the Duet's data available in Rainmeter.
This way I could have a small customisable meter on my desktop telling the status of the printer.
But Rainmeter does not work with AJAX connections and I don't have enough programming experience to make it work. So I gave up, I simply didn't have the time to work on it.Would be fantastic though.

I'm using a native iOS app I wrote, running on an iPod touch mounted on my printer, as a sort of a replacement for a PanelDue. The advantage is that you get some things basically for free, like nice scrolling lists.

This is basically all it is.
Ive managed to get it to automatically scan the local IP range and connect.
Its just a clean way to use DWC as you don't need any of the bloat from a browser.

I can get a similar UI if I use the -app parameter (standalone web app mode) with Chrome
though there is not auto scanning -

I've also got it to display the print status if you hover over the tray icon on windows so that's pretty neat.
Next up is to test sending an SMS message through clickatell when a print completes.

Would you care to share your Wrapper? (Will it work on both Mac and Windows?)

Yeah it will go on GitHub and yeah it will work on Windows/Linux/Mac
When I put the sources on GitHub I'll also add a folder with compiled versions for Windows & Mac but only rpms for RHEL 6/7 (CentOS, Redhat) for Linux.

Good Man?

Meanwhile there's an open-source app for Android (Find My Duet), see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chham.FindMyDuet&hl=de and https://github.com/chrishamm/FindMyDuet for the sources
I don't really see the need in a desktop application though. If anyone needs more hooks/events for DWC, feel free to open new issues either on my DWC or FindMyDuet repos and I'll see how I can help.
