URL Schemes and Siri voice shortcuts to Command iNet from Other Apps
Last update 2019/06/01
With Siri voice shortcuts you can record spoken commands to let iNet perform tasks like scanning or wake on lan. URLs can be used by other Apps to command iNet in the same way.
Record Siri Shortcuts
A Siri button is displayed at different places within iNet. Tapping on this button lets you record a voice command for the task you are currently performing (e. g. scanning, ping,...).
After recording the Siri button will be hidden. You can reactivate the button every time via the iNet settings (available from the main menu) if you want to record another phrase.
URL Schemes
You can send commands to iNet with special formed URL links. You could e. g. define a shortcut in the Shortcut app with the command "openurl" and enter as url string "inetforipad://scan" and call this shortcut "iPad scan this network".
A link consists of two parts: An app specific keyword followed by "://" followed by a keyword for the task you want to perform.
Every version of iNet has its own specific keyword(s):
| App | 1st Keyword |
|---|---|
| iNet Network Scanner | inetscanner |
| iNet Pro Network Scanner | inetscanner or inetproscanner |
| iNet for iPad | inetforipad |
| iNet WOL | inetwol |
For the different tasks you can use the following keywords:
( replace "inetscanner" with the app-specific keyword, e.g. with "inetwol")
| Task | Keyword | Example URL | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open | inetscanner | inetscanner:// | will open the main view of iNet |
| Scan | scan | inetscanner://scan | will open the scanner view of iNet |
| Ping | ping | inetscanner://ping | will ping the last pinged address |
| Ping Address | ping | inetscanner://ping?address | will ping the address you specify |
| Portscan | portscan | inetscanner://portscan | will scan the last used item from the portscan favourites list |
| Wake | wake | inetscanner://wake | will send a wake command to the topmost device in the wake on lan favourites list |
| Sleep | sleep | inetscanner://sleep | will send a sleep command to the topmost device in the wake on lan favourites list |
| Shutdown | shutdown | inetscanner://shutdown | will send a shutdown command to the topmost device in the wake on lan favourites list |
| Reboot | reboot | inetscanner://reboot | will send a reboot command to the topmost device in the wake on lan favourites list |
