elee532 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Any chance of a Windows Store app in the near future? I'm running Window S on Surface Go, and don't want to upgrade to full Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 But I would guess that what we may see in the future is the C4 PC application, which currently runs in Adobe Flash, will be rewritten to be a web app that will run in pretty much any web browser. That seems to be the direction that most firms are taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Control4's current GUI is not based on HTML5. RyanE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcNaught427 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Is there any hope that a Windows-friendly (or web-based) replacement for the "Control4 for PC-Mac" APP is being considered? It's a key reason why I've not yet moved from 2.10.6 to 3.1.1. I sit in front of a giant PC display that controls everything I need for my work day, and love the old app. I don't love having to grab my phone to drive our EA5-based system... I've not yet considered using Android emulation SW due to my perception (fear) of security risks. Another thought (although unlikely) is making an Amazon Echo Show work as a touch screen would be amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Your best option at this point is Android emulation, running the official Control4 Android app. Not sure what security concerns you'd have with a virtual machine running Android. You can restrict that virtual machine to only have permissions necessary to run the Control4 app, should be fairly safe, at least as safe as running the Control4 Android app on a phone / tablet within the home.

zaphod Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I am running Bluestacks which is the Android emulator. I agree with RyanE about security. The security risks of Android often relate to all of the apps you would have running. But I have pretty much no apps running other than C4.

JMcNaught427 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed Bluestacks, and all seems to be working great. Upgraded to OS3 - Love it so far! Andrew luecke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
