Static and Multistate Items

Active button or display: 2 states (State 1, 2)Inactive button or display: 1 state (State 1)Multistate button: more than 2 states

What for?- the number of states define the item behavior: if it is static or dynamic число

ListsA list of pop-ups can be scrolled vertically and horizontally in the item of Static List type(flexible analogue of gestures for scrolling pages)

What for?- fast navigation - creation of long menus

Joysticks and Edit Boxes

Joystick is a graphic item on the basis of which Colour Picker can be created to control LED lighting via RGB palette. RGB colours are processed via scripts(each driver needs its own script)

Edit Box is a graphic item used for entering data from a standard keyboard or internal project keyboard.

What for?- password input, sending temperature values - control of DMX with the help of RGB palette (Color Picker)

Time, date, battery

System Tokens are system variables of the project (for reading only)

What for?- to create a status bar similar to the one used on iOS - to use device coordinates for controlling the house - to control light brightness by angling iPhone or Android

Animation of opening pop-ups

Popup > Object Properties > General > Effects – animation of pop-ups

What for?- pop-ups can appear from any part of a page - gradual switch of controlled zones can liven any project

URL-schemes

Object Properties > Programming > Press/Release > ExecuteExamples: http://iridiummobile.net, music:, skype:, …

What for?- opening of the Music application by clicking buttons in projects - to go to the web site of a company by clicking on its logo

Macro

Object Properties > Programming > Press/Release/Hold/Move

Macro can be saved in Gallery > Project Gallery > Macroand can be dragged to other buttons of the project!

What for?- to perform sequences of actions with one click - macros can be saved for using on other items

Passwords for commandsA password is assigned to a button. It allows to perform any command assigned to a button only when the correct password is entered.

What for ?- you can make a password for a host, an engineer, guests and children - you can set up passwords on execution of important commands

Video from IP-cameras

Gallery > Project Gallery > Dynamic Images – stream-video and snapshots.

JPEG / MJPEG – stream video and images in *.jpg or *.png formats H.264 / MPEG-4 – high compression video

What for ?- you can see the whole house without closing iRidium - you can receive calls from video intercom

Screensaver

ScreenSaver is any page of the project that is programmed to appear after a set period of idle time.

What for?- automatic screen lock after a preset period of time (security)- screen protection against fading, the brightness is lowered

Ready-made modules

Sonos, iTunes, Squeezebox, SIP-Intercom, weather, etc.

What for ?- It is almost impossible to set up 2-way communication with media or SIP-server without help. That is why we recommend using ready-made modules

Merging projectsDrag and drop one project onto another to merge them. Connections between buttons and commands are kept.

To add only drivers from one project to another, use File > Import

What for?- to add the ready- made SIP-Intercom module to projects- to merge 2 projects for controlling then from one device

NotificationsFor example, SIP-panel shows notification when someone calls you. Notification can be configured for any driver.

What for?- if you minimize the app to check your email – iRidium notify you if something happened.
