I have been in commercial controls for so long I can't remember and have dabbled in home automation for nearly as long. I now have a large mixed application that requires advanced home automation and considerable integration with commercial controls.
I am considering both the IPronto and a CE device with the control software and IR flash card. I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer.
CE Device:
1. Do the CE devices require a stylus, or can one just touch the screen?
2. Does the compact flash add on unit stick out of the top of the unit making it workable?
IPronto
3. I need to use the unit to view a web based control system that displays in the browser using Java. It is called DotVision (
www.dotvision.com). The software says that you must use Sun's java implementation. Does anyone know if java apps (in general) and specifically if this java app will run on the Ipronto?
4. I also want to display streaming video on the IPronto from cameras such as the ones made by Axis (
www.axis.com) that by default use an ActiveX control. Does anyone know if this will work on the IPronto?
Thank You Very Much in advance
