I have been playing recently with Command Fusion, and I must admit I do like it.

I'm impressed that you keep investigating all these things even though, like me, you're actually very happy with your current Pronto configuration. For me, I'll wait until the right hardware (hard buttons, wand style) appears.

With Daniel's note today on Pronto Pro 3 availability for all it seems like the end proper (though it was a while back), and on the same day as space shuttle as well.

I've always been an enthusiast (i.e. non-pro), but the Pronto products going makes me most sad. It's been a fun hobby (i didn't get as involved in the intricate details/coding, but still found the versatility refreshing).

Hope the employees find something good and we get something good with hard buttons and open source(or android).

Hello guys,
I was just wondering if anybody of you tried another approach: keep your pronto untill it stops working, change the pronto extender for an iTach and add iOS or Android devices with whatever app (iRule, CommandFusion...). Have anybody of you tried to control iTach devices from a Pronto TSU?

Gopronto is correct I do control iTach units from my pc and the pc is controlled by a pronto. There is no reason why a pronto can not directly control an iTach, in fact it should be quite easy. I do control itachs directly from an iPad using command fusion.

Functionally from a programming standpointCommandFusion using Javascript and Pronto using Prontoscript are quite similar, after all javascript is javascript. They differ in the way the graphics are interfaced to JS. Having used both I actually prefer the Commandfusion editor (GUIdesigner) and the overall concept that the same output file from the editor will drive the renderer on an iPad (iViewer) and on an Android device (in Beta at this time).

Also debugging is cleaner on the command fusion system as they just use the Javascript debugging capability of either Chrome or Safari.

I assume Commandfusion lets you install software on your own pc and edit as apropriate, then connect to device. What I'm asking in a long winded way is - it's not one of these stupid online (or "cloud" to dress it up in marketing terms) solutions where you have to connect online to edit things/sync. I hate such methods. ProntoEdit works standalone and as a result we can carry on configuring our Prontos now even though Philips have stopped support of the product. With one of these cloud solutions if the company that makes the device/software stops the product/support (i.e. shuts down the web service that lets you edit) you are stuck with the configuration you have. This is why I'd like to see a device with hard buttons and based around open source software.

Yes, the editor is local to your machine and so is your configuration. The software you put on your iDevice is the part that is licensed.

That's seems a perfectly decent way of doing things. Thanks for info :)
