alanchow Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi guys, We have just performed a major update to our Advanced Custom Buttons driver for Control4 (http://www.c4forums.com/topic/14489-chowmain-advanced-custom-buttons-driver-app/). This driver has now been extended to support HTML5 based web browsers. This includes IOS safari/chrome, Android Chrome, PC/MAC/Linux Chrome/Safari and more. The web view works on HTML5 Canvas with AJAX. This means that not only can you use the inbuilt webpage for control / feedback but you can also directly fire commands via HTTP GET commands using 3rd party scripts/applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebery Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Alan. Can each room have its own set of buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Alan. Can each room have its own set of buttons?The buttons are not room based. If you require more than 12 buttons one trick you can do is to dedicate one or two buttons as navigation buttons and use the dynamic labelling feature to rename the buttons and change the functionality. With this method you really have unlimited buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That was quick. Thanks Alan! Am I right in saying this means that your Advanced Custom Button app will now work on the new Touch screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 That was quick. Thanks Alan! Am I right in saying this means that your Advanced Custom Button app will now work on the new Touch screens? The new T3 touchscreens currently have no method of implementing 3rd party applications. Control4 have notified us that they are working on a solution with no ETA. The driver will work on any HTML5 capable (pretty much any) web browser on most platforms (tested IOS, Android, PC on both Chrome and Safari).

cyevans Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Works well on an iPhone / Browser... Nice to be able to see various states for any item with the text and on/off with the "light" in one place on an iPhone or browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using one or two buttons to navigate you increment or decrement the number variable. Use the number conditional logic on the number variable to dynamically relabel the buttons to match to the page. Use the number conditional logic on the button presses to determine what action to perform when the button is clicked. Hope that makes sense.

ScottGA Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Alan, I thought I read somewhere that it was also possible to install multiple copies of the driver in a single project. Is that correct and if so, how does that work as far as page navigation (i.e. choosing which custom button page to display)? Thanks. Love this driver/app and use it all the time!

Is that correct and if so, how does that work as far as page navigation (i.e. choosing which custom button page to display)? I can answer this one, as I have two instances of the driver installed. Each group of 12 buttons is served off a different port, so in my case I have one URL for the first group of buttons and a different one for the second.I agree, ACB is great!

If you place it under watch/listen/comfort/security then it will be for that specific room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3D - Benn Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks for your reply, could you please define where you mean by services? It's greyed out on all watch/listen/comfort etc but still showing in all rooms. not sure where you mean by services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
