Launch app from Loxone app, depending on platform

[J V]

Hello,

I'm working on controlling Squeezeboxes from the Loxone apps and am using the virtual outputs (I intend to expand the provided xml file with additional commands and will share it, but need to work it out first). There is however a web interface to Logitech Music Server, and there android and iOS apps, which offer more functionality. The question I have is: how can I make the config, so it contains a button that behaves differently depending on the platform:

• on Android, I want to launch this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ueezeboxremote
• on iOS, I want to launch this app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/logi...431302899?mt=8
• and on the web interface, I want a link to the Logitech Music Server web interface

Other option is to make 3 different buttons and hide those that would not work, but I also don't know how to do that....

Thanks!

Don't know if it will help, but some interesting info can be found here:

Interesting, and may be useful!
I was thinking of using the App function block: http://www.loxone.com/enen/service/d...locks/app.html , to launch an App on either iOS or Android.
Problem is that the App function block is not platform aware... It may be possible to use the code you posted to identify the platform and then launch accordingly. I'll have to look into it more...

I think I found it: Virtual input.

They write
-
With the virtual inputs various different types of input options can be set. That is, the inputs can be configured to show up differently in the visualisation whether it be on an iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android phone, or browser. The options are switch, push button, left-right buttons, and up-down buttons.
-
So I should be able to add a virtual input that e.g. just shows up on iOS (which launches the iOS app I want), one for android and one for browser.
Haven't tried it yet though...
