Touch Panel Control

TPControl is the most exciting projects we have worked on. It allows its users to manage their AMX controllers for
home automation through a mobile phone instead of using AMX touch panels .
AMX systems are configured from modular hardware, allowing systems to be customized to meet current needs.
Typically, AMX equipment is used in room automation for “smart houses”.
In a simplified way AMX controllers can be compared with the server that handles various devices connected to it. In
AMX way the devices are household appliances. AMX touch panels then are the tablets with opened browsers to
display “web pages” coming from the server (controller).
AMX uses its own language - NetLinx and/or Java Cafe Duet - to program the controller. Touch panels use their own
markup language called TP4 to process and display the information coming from the controllers.
Following this simplified scheme of communication between AMX touchpanels and AMX controllers, our multiplatform
application can be considered as an ultimate browser able to replace AMX touchpanels with the user’s favorite device
(iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android or Win8) that has TPControl installed.
The extra benefit of using our application is that the user doesn’t have to pay for expensive AMX touchpanels.
One more benefit is that unlike common touch panels TPControl is able to work with multi TP4 files and switch
between them in one touch. It is also possible to control household appliances being out of home via mobile
connection.
