New ayControl Editor for Windows and Mac OS and how to migrate existing projects

ayControl 3 has plenty of new and very cool features and therefore we created a new configuration software the "ayControl editor". It is available for Windows and Mac OS X. It replaces the old iseo Designer 2 and of course it has an import function for existing ayControl 2 configurations (.plist files).

Just export the ayControl 2 project to a .plist file (with the right disc icon in iseo Designer 2) and open the .plist file in the ayControl Editor.

Download here the new ayControl Editor.

Get ayControl 3 now from the Google Play Store for Smartphones and Tablets. It has been created for Smartphones (2.3 Gingerbread and higher) and Tablets (3.2 Honeycomb and higher). Download it from the Google Play Store and you'll be surprised how cool and convenient smart HOMES, smart APARTMENTS and smart HOTELS can be!
 

Why download and use ayControl 3 KNX?
  • Convenience: Control lights, dimmers and blinds with ease
  • Atmosphere: Create the perfect mood - with the ayControl RGB color control
  • Energy savings: Set temperatures + modes for heating and AC from anywhere
    ( home, office, holidays...)
  • Protect home and business: See what's going on. Connect indoor and outdoor video-cameras
    ( JPG, MJPG )
  • Security: Speak with visitors at the door and see who's there. (SIP client for door stations integrated)
  • Save money: Fully integrated solution - no need for a costly home server / automation server
 
Our advise: Forget about old-styled in-wall touch panels. Most of them are running operating systems where you clearly see their origin in the last century, providing mini display resolutions an old-styled screens. Better see how cool it is to use Android and the ayControl KNX app.

App Version 1.9.4 ayControl KNX | 24/06/2011

Minor bug fixes when transferring configuration with the free configuration software iseo Designer 2 for ayControl KNX.

ayControl KNX App Version 1.9.3: Upgrade of Motion JPEG and further updates | 30/05/2011

IP camera: better support of Motion JPEG

The WebCam-Image has improved support for IP Cameras with Motion JPEG Support. Enter the URL to the Motion JPEG Stream into the URL Field (Iseo Desinger). Since the current version of Iseo Designer doesn't support that feature, you have to add ":mjpg" to the description of the WebCam Image. ayControl automatically converts the extension for you:

ayControl_KNX_iPhone_iPad_IP_camera_Motion_JPEG


Wait for KNX status answer

The new option "Wait for Answer" (available in Settings), allows you to disable the automatic switch of the On-/Off Switch. The status is only changed if a reply of the read address over the bus arrives.

ayControl_iPhone_iPad_KNX_Status_answer

 

Configurable sending interval of slider
Now it is possible to change the sending interval of the Slider and RGB Color Picker. Thus, it is possible to configure the Slider to only send the actual value on releasing it. This option is missing in Iseo Designer. Therefore you have to add ":interval=0" to send the value on releasing the Slider.

Only send on release:
Append „:interval=0“ (e.g. „Light:interval=0“) to the description.
ayControl_KNX_iPhone_iPad_iseo_Designer_interval_0 
Send value every 500 milliseconds:
Simply append „interval=500“ to the description (e.g. „Light:interval=500“). Now the actual value is send every 500 milliseconds and also on releasing the Slider. Please note: this setting could increase the bus load. Therefore only experts should change the interval.
 ayControl_KNX_iPhone_iPad_iseo_Designer_interval_500

For easier configuration the new options will be available in a future version of Iseo Designer.

ayControl KNX App Version 1.6: entire function only via KNX IP routing | 06/09/2010

Please wait for the version 1.6.1 if you use IP tunneling for the KNX visualization ayControl.

We are sorry to announce that there is a little caveat in version 1.6. Due to a small glitch in version 1.6 controlling KNX elements do not work if you use KNX IP tunneling. The visualization is correctly working. The control and visualization of ayControl via KNX IP routing are not affected.

Version 1.6.1 which fixes this glitch and therefore includes the possibility to control (like in former versions) has already been submitted to Apple.

We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and have learned the lessons and are improving our quality assurance even more.
