videostorm Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 What do you think about controlling your C4 system via customizable https pages? Would you find this useful? Here is how it could work: You would design your control / display screen using our Splash-tiles cloud service. It has a drag/drop design gui for all your tiles. For C4 commands, you would just add the tile, select your colors/labels/icons, and include the event name & data to send In the C4 driver we provide, you can attach the events to programming to make things happen Basically an easily customizable interface that works on any device with a web browser. On Android, it would use our app so you don't need bookmarks. In my home, I would use it on tablets to provide both quick controls with photos or calendar data display (wall mounted devices). It could also support posting text or image data back to your web based displays (temp, alerts, etc). The Splash-tiles service itself is either free (ad supported) or ~$75/year. The C4 driver would be free. It wouldn't use 4sight so it could also be a way to (securely) control things when away from home. What do you think? Should we build this? Would it add value to your installs? Is there already a better way? Matt Lowe and c44me 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskas Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 That would be a feature I would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 This would be beneficial for commercial installs that control several tvs and audio sources. Change rooms is not exact time saving. Do love the customization and im sure this is something many of the more advanced users here would love to use. If you need help testing more would love it in my own home as i jump between rooms so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videostorm Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'll post the beta driver here when it is ready next week. You can get started by setting up a free account at splash-tiles.com and creating the screens you will use. Use the "NetPlay command" or "NetPlay slider" tiles for commands and the "push data display" tiles for data feedback. msgreenf and South Africa C4 user 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videostorm Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 List Navigation is ready to go. However, I need a volunteer or two with a more complicated C4 system than I have (all I have is AV, no lighting, locks, termo, etc) to test this out. Please PM me if you want to help.

videostorm Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 C4 Menu list navigation is released. Here are some examples. It gives you a fully browse able menu you can easily drop into any screen with no configuration (other than the basic driver setup).
