Hi everybody, I am just trying to set up my demopad control system and have a few questions
1. If i put a background picture on the home page is it automatically replicated on all subsequent pages including subpages?
2. I want to integrate LightwaveRF light control into the demopad, I have the WIfi link device and their app is rubbish so can anyone offer advice on how to do this.
3. How do I launch the Sonos app from demopad, I was going to design a page for the sonos but I figure their app probably looks better so I just want to be able to launch it on a demopad subpage and still be able to navigate back to the remote, is this possible.
4. If I have three sky+ boxes do all their commands need different names?
Thank you for your help, I am sure I will be back for more help shortly!

Have you tried contacting DemoPad support directly via email?
If you take time to read other comments on DemoPad support I think you'll find a pretty unanymous 5 stars.
Here's my stab at your questions:
1. If i put a background picture on the home page is it automatically replicated on all subsequent pages including subpages?
- it will be on the home page's sub-pages, but not on other 'main' pages
2. I want to integrate LightwaveRF light control into the demopad, I have the WIfi link device and their app is rubbish so can anyone offer advice on how to do this.
- Not familiar with LightwaveRF; have you searched the forum? Try this link http://www.demopad.com/forum/viewtopic. ... veRF#p3044
3. How do I launch the Sonos app from demopad, I was going to design a page for the sonos but I figure their app probably looks better so I just want to be able to launch it on a demopad subpage and still be able to navigate back to the remote, is this possible.
- I don't believe Sonos can be lauched but have a look at this post http://www.demopad.com/forum/viewtopic. ... ilit=sonos
4. If I have three sky+ boxes do all their commands need different names?
- Commands are associated to the device definition, so if each of your Sky+ is an individual device, which they should, then similar commands can bear the same name

Yep - already answered via
[email protected]
Sonos can now be launched with sonos://
If you are controlling all your Sky boxes with say a single iTach IP2IR, then there should only be 1 device in the system, and commands will have to have unique names.

To the Original Poster....
I would suggest that if you want help you should be a little more patient this is primarily a user to user forum.
A little over a day is not a long time to wait for an answer on a small forum like this.
Posts like your second one sure put me off from helping you, the world does not exist to serve you...

To be fair, the original post was in December, the 2nd post was in March!
