BuddyC Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The v2 app for the iPhone and iPad had a dedicated mode that would stop the device from sleeping so you could use it as an always on controller. Did I miss something ... did they remove that functionality from v3? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The 3.0 iOS app doesn’t support that, but the same thing can be achieved using Guided Access in iOS settings: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202612 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupertclark Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I too really miss this as it was really handy that it stopped the iPad going to sleep so was more like the C4 touchscreen. I have an iPad in every room as a remote and to keep turning it back on is a nuisance. Also, you could leave it on the cameras and see if someone was coming up the drive. The guided access is more to keep the iPad in one app but does not keep the screen turned on. Anyone know if the dedicated mode is hidden somewhere?

lippavisual Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Go into settings on the IPad, change sleep to never. Now Ipad remains on at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupertclark Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Yes, that is what I had to do already. I liked the dedicated mode as the iPads are on removable charging stands and when they are sitting on them charging, they run the Control4 app. Then when they are removed so that someone can use the internet or Spotify or something else, it means they have to remember to turn off the iPad or it will just stay on until it runs out of battery.
