Join Receipe

To use this plugin:

  1. Ensure your browser allows popups and visit joinjoaomgcd.appspot.com.
  2. To register you just need to allow the page to link with your Google Profile. The good news is it doesn't ask for anything too personal.
  3. Download the app for your phone from the Android Store here.
  4. Using your phone, when you first open the application, it will ask for a series of permissions and ask you a couple questions.
  5. If you just recently registered your device (in the previous step), you should now be able to refresh your browser at joinjoaomgcd.appspot.com. Your device should list itself. From here you can retrieve the API you need to worth with Magic Receipe.

Receipe

Valid syntax is as follows:

  • join://{apikey}/
  • join://{apikey}/{device_id}
  • join://{apikey}/{device_id1}/{device_id2}/{device_idN}

Note: If no device is specified, then by default group.all is used.

Groups can be referenced like this (the group. part is optional):

  • join://{apikey}/group.{group_id}
  • join://{apikey}/group.{group_id1}/group.{group_id2}/group.{group_idN}
  • join://{apikey}/{group_id}
  • join://{apikey}/{group_id1}/{group_id2}/{group_idN}

If what you specify isn't a group or device_id then it is interpreted as a device_name as a fallback:

  • join://{apikey}/{device_name}
  • join://{apikey}/{device_name1}/{device_name1}/{device_nameN}

You can freely mix and match these combinations as well:

  • join://{apikey}/{device_id}/{group_id}/{device_name}
