Jeremy Wells Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The ability to hide rooms from other rooms in Navigator on specific touchpanels would be especially useful in commercial applications, but I can also see uses for it in residential. I realize this would be difficult, if not impossible, to do in the mobile app. But that really isn't my concern here. This really only applies in situations where the people using the system won't have access to the mobile app. Example: I have a small commercial project in a high end condo building. The fitness center and lounge are right next to each other. There are also a handful of other distributed audio zones. The fitness center and the lounge both have 7" in-wall touchpanels. I would like to be able to make the fitness center touchpanel see only the fitness center (which actually has 4 rooms associated with it, audio and 3 TVs) AND have the lounge able see everything except the fitness center. The idea being that you don't want people in the fitness center messing with the lounge, and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 have you looked at the access agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 One of my wishlist items would be a revamped and improved Access Agent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d1amund Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yet another reason residential design configurations don't work in commercial environments. Why installers insist on doing this is beyond me. You could create separate projects or get in touch with your sales rep to discuss commercial / hospitality / MDU solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Slider Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Jeremy Wells . . . that's exactly the point of the Access Agent, to lock the touchscreen to it's designated room (you would still have the ability to change rooms with a PIN code, for management).

GT Slider Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I would also look at integrating Savi Controls as part of your commercial implementations. Not sure how they handle room hiding, but I know that the last time I spoke with them they were willing to make certain modifications based on your specific needs.

VINCELdUB Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 You can use two different project and then use the project combiner driver to share states of Rooms that overlap. Simply double up on everything in the two projects. Identical even. Then load the duplicate project Ina second controller. Now, hide the appropriate rooms from navigator in each project. Then using the combiner driver, write programming to turn on an overlapping room on the other project and vice versa.

VINCELdUB Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Old school. Haven't done this in like 6-7 years but the driver is still there and it works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
