Re: Need to control 30x relays whats the best way?

Why not an IP controlled relay board.

I've seen them all the way up to 32 channel.

Cheers,

Re: Launching Skype on PC

We have a Demopad thread on AVSForum in which we discuss interfacing with EventGhost. There's a lot that the two can do together.

Feel free to ask questions there.

Re: Yes No Confirmation Dialog Box

Yes. I have exactly the arrangement you describe for system power off. My solution uses a sub-page which is normally hidden with visibility linked to a flag. When the "Power Off" button is pressed the flag is set, and the sub-page appears with two buttons on it. "Confirm" proceeds with the powering ...

Re: Shutdown Widows 10 HTPC

I suggest you try EventGhost. It provides extensive control of a PC and getting it to work with Demopad was pretty easy.

Re: IP controlled relay board - feedback

So it eventually became clear that Demopad couldn't solve this problem by itself. Using EventGhost and a bit of python code did the trick.

IP controlled relay board - feedback

I've built a remote controlled power supply box based around an eight channel IP controlled relay board that I got from DFRobot - https://www.dfrobot.com/product-503.html The board reports the status of all the relays using a single byte of feedback, with one bit for each of the eight channels. Usin...

Has anyone done any work on the new Sonos API and have any commands that they'd like to share ?

Re: Sonos queue feedback

After a LOT of trial and error I decided to cut back the queue to the current track + 3 following, as the regex above just wouldn't work reliably. I've also got album art working in a web view by using feedback to grab the artist / album and use these in a http call to the NAS drive to get the appro...

Re: Sonos queue feedback

After lots and lots of reading and learning the wonders of Wireshark I've been able to get Sonos queue feedback working, however it's not yet quite right. I'm tying to extract Artist and Title for the current track and five following tracks. Frustratingly I can only get the current track and four fo...

Re: Reorder feedbacks

Another one that I just found is that exporting feedbacks to a file, only saves the names and conditions, not the associated actions.

Reorder feedbacks

I have some pretty long lists of feedbacks, like volume on my Integra processor, and it'd be nice to be able to reorder them like commands.

Any way to do it ?

Is is possible to directly edit .dc2 and .dc3 files ?

Re: iPad page scrolling

Hiding subpages in the designer only applies to what you see in the designer. The subpage is still there and will show up in the app. You need to delete the subpage from the page.

Sonos queue feedback

I'm new to DemoPad and after many years of using iRule I've spent the last month or so re-doing the control system for my theatre room. DemoPad support via email has been brilliant in helping me sort out a few problems. I have a Sonos Connect for streaming CDs into the theatre system, and so I downl...
