In wall iPad home automation

Hi there,
I need some help with a decision here:
I rigged my new appartment with home automation abilities.
As the control panels are quite expansive, I decided to use an iPad in-Wall solution instead of the proprietary panel solutions.
I know that there are quite a lot apps for that porpose but before I make my final decision, I would like to hear what you think about my idea.
Anybody here with some experience in home automation with Apple products?

I am putting 2 inwall iPads total in my house 1 in kitchen and 1 in dinning room! My question is, is there away to link both IPads together? Kinda like a Dual monitor clone on a computer! Don't want to be playing Ipad in kitchen, then have to run back to kitchen to turn music off to play dinning rooms! Is that possible to do?

    I implemented home automation with creston system. I'd like to improve the network using time capsule, airport express for new pair of speakers and apple tv to share contents. any experience from somebody?

    Check out the search on VerionTracker for x10. There you can get an idea with the comments to choose the application that will fit your needs/budget.
    There is also an older article on the net on this very subject.

  • Mac Mini - Home Automation

    'just wondered if anyone is using the 'Mini for Home Automation - it would seem ideal (and even more so, perhaps, if a lower-cost cut-down version were also available, then 'could distribute them also task-specifically around the house)
    Power Mac G4 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier Mac OS10.4 sometimes

    I did briefly.. but it's pretty expensive to get everything running.
    Indigo and Ovolab Phlink. Every item keeps stacking up in price.
    I went back to using Misterhouse for Linux and Activehome Pro for Windows. Cheap CM11A $20 on ebay and Misterhouse for free. USB X10 Camera Dongle $30. Asterisk for Telephony free. Then a cheap linux box. You've got your Automation system for under $399. Far less than the cheapest Mini.

  • IPad home button is not working

    Hi, my iPad home button stopped working. Can any one help me?

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • After a new update to Facebook, I cannot write a status from my iPad anymore.  status window pops up and bounces me off FB back to my iPad home page

    after doing the latest update to Facebook, I can no longer write a status on my iPad.  The status window pops up for a second then bounces me off FB back to my iPad home page.  all other Facebook functions are in tact, just can't post a new status.  I deleted fB app and installed it new, but still same status problem.  How can I undo the latest update?

    If you sync with iTunes and if you still have the old app version in iTunes on your computer, you can delete the updated app on the iPad and then sync with iTunes again in order to place the old version back onto the iPad.

  • Home Automation and OS X

    I was unable to locate a more appropriate forum, for discussions regarding using the Mac in home automation. Does anyone have any links or information, regarding a Mac-based Smart Home? Here's my situation, thusfar:

    Smarthome is a great source for automation equipment. They have everything from simple starter kits to very high-end systems. Here is current Mac control software index:

    I have not tried either of these myself. I have some pretty crude X10 equipment that I got from RadioShack, but it does help me out in the winter months when I am semi-disabled due to a vascular disorder.

  • How to remove items from iPad home screen?

    How to remove items from iPad home screen?

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • Home Automation - X 10 - Advice Please

    Hi,
    I'm looking to put my iMac to work about my house, controling lighting, temperature, etc. I've surfed the web and it seems that the easiest way to do this is using the X 10 system through the mains wiring circuit.
    Has anyone done this and can give me some tips? For instance, is it possible to control the X10 computer interface over an airport network? If I can I want to have the X10 computer interface in a different room without having to clutter my office with extra boxes and usb cables hanging out the back of my iMac. But since I've now found that I have to cable my printer every time I want to change the ink cartridge I'm a bit worried controling the X10 over Airport is a non starter.
    Also, there seems to be a lot of starter kits on the marked that all come with PC based software. Can you get the starter kits with either Mac OS software or even without the software full stop since I have already downloaded some from the Net for free just to check out what I can do once I have found out which component parts I have to purchase.
    One more thing. I know that the US is leading the way with home automation abd the equipment is readily available in the States, but I'm in the UK and most electronics stores I've been to look at me as if I'm from Mars when I mention X 10.

    Now posted under "Usage".

  • I´m from Brazil and I would like to know if I can use the Labview and other National technologies to create a building/home automation (energy, water, lightning,...)? Which would be a ideal project? Which equipments should I use?

    I would like to know all about National technology regarding building/home automation?

    I could help you better if you had an idea of the equipment you will be controlling or reading to/from. Are you planning to totally customize a system or are you looking to use instruments/controllers already available for Home Automation? Im not sure I understand what you really need. Here's an Idea. Computer is the controller of the system.
    System consist of Light Control Only (to keep it simple). Program written in LabVIEW. Here you can create schedules to turn lights on/off/dim. Then LV could communicate, (for example using X10 or other protocol), commands to the device actually controlling the lights. Lighting device could be controlled using some sort of communications like, X10, Serial, IR, RF, Ethernet, etc... So this system can turn lights
    on/off/dim% either at the click of a button on your screen or a timer. Adding any other system in the house will more than likely require a different communication protocol and complicates things even further. You could much of this with regular automation hardware from NI but this requires integrating different components like relays, dimmers, etc.. Much more work and more expensive, (I would think), than buying a device made specifically for the system.
    I hope this helps.

  • While viewing some video or watching live feeds iPad is kicking back to iPad home page.

    Recently, I have begun experiencing some glitches while viewing videos from Facebook and while watching Big Brother Canada live feeds.  While watching the iPad will kick back to the iPad home page.  When it does this it can take several seconds (an eternity compared to normal) to load the home page icons.  It sticks on the blurred background without any icons for as stated several seconds.  When I attempt to return to the live feeds I get the message "there was a problem with the page and it had to be reloaded.  Can anyone help?  Could this be a lack of memory because I haven't purchased additional storage space from iCloud?

    IIt has nothing to do with ICloud storage. ICloud storage is for backups only and not for actual cloud staorage. Your problem could have something to do with the iPad 2's lack or RAM while running iOS 8. Try closing all other apps when you want to watch videos and see if that makes a difference. ResER your iPad as well after you close the apps.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    In order to reset your iPad, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen after which time you can release the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • Ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation

    what is the solution when ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Interface capability between Lookout and Crestron or Lutron home automation​?

    I have an existing project with Crestron home automation equipment, looking to fully automate their irrigation and stormwater systems (PLC, SCADA, etc...  ).  Is there any information I would be able to display on the Crestron screens in the house, and what process/hardware is required, if possible?  Thank You in advance for your time.

    I too am looking to use NI Labview to interface with my home automation equipment. I'm a hobbyist, I'm not in the business of selling, programing, installing or servicing home automation equipment. I have access to LabView development tools at work. My boss encourages us to learn our development tools, he would be happy to let me use our LabView development systems after hours.
    Equipment I'm interested in controlling and monitoring include:
    Crestron CP2E - Compact Control System with Ethernet
    Genter / ClearOne -  XAP 400 8x8 Audio Mixer / Conferencing Phone
    HAI Home Automation Inc. - Omni LT Home Automation Controller
    My primary interest right now is the Crestron CP2E.
    Any assistance, or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
