Hi everyone! We have a control4 system at work with 3 touchscreens but we want to use ipads. I have 4sight and downloaded the OS 3 app but the intercom won't show up on the ipad. It just says security and history. Any ideas how to fix this?? 

There is no fix, that is by design.  Control4 wants to sell more of their touchscreens, so they do not allow the intercom to work "natively" on a 3rd party tablet.

If you have some android tablets, this could help

It is not a capability of the iPad app

you also want to be careful about using any battery based tablet in this case. They are not designed to plugged in all of the time and can be a fire hazard or damage the battery. I believe they are getting better about being ready all the time, but the touch screens are always active and connected the to project so you will have less times waiting for the project to connect.

I'm guessing this is market protection for the C4 screens.  lame

Think this is mostly solved by software now.  iPad has an algorithm that is meant to prevent damage/hazard from constant charging.
