Home Automation Remotes iPad or Android

<< < (2/2)

The key is patience, even though home automation is becoming more "mainstream" everyone does things a little different so a complete install and forget package is almost impossible. Closest to that is paying someone else to spend the countless hours planning everything out and setting it up.

If its DIY have patience. My uncle designs and installs high end home automation and AV equipment, he's done a few houses that have multiple media rooms, hell, a few have had a few bowling alleys. He has told me the actual installs are pretty straight forward and simple, but the weeks and sometimes months of planning is the hard part. Many small components coming together for the bigger picture.

Good luck and keep us posted! I'm always interested in these projects!

Look into a company called Commandfusion.  They make a system that allows you to build your own system. It really helps if you know Javascript. With Javascript there is nothing that you can't do.  Without Javascript you can do almost everything that a remote needs to do.

The nicest thing about their system is that the file you build (an XML file) can be fed to the viewer they have for Apple IOS or to the viewer they have for the Andriod (in Beta).

I have my house HA system fully controlled by wall mounted iPads, while I still prefer the Pronto PRO line for mobile remotes for A/V. Both the Pronto pro line (with Prontoscript) and the Commandfusion system are strongly tied to Javascript.
