Re: A few questions about working with numbers

This is an old thread, but reviving as I have a question re dividing the value of numbers So, I capture a number into a number variable which I would like to divide by 1000 and then display. This is the way I have it set up at the moment, but it behaves irratically - sometimes the divide by 1000 hap...

Convert unix time stamp to readable time

Hi

Anyone know of a way to convert a unix epoch time stamp e.g.1487625836 captured as part of Regex feedback to a standard date / time?

I know there are lots of "hidden" variables and commands in Demopad... is there one to do this?

Thanks!

Virgin V6 Box

Hi Just putting this here in case anyone has already got their hands on a V6 box and, therefore, know whether it can be controlled via Demopad? I see that the remote is now RF rather than infrared so guess this could cause some problems. I currently send commands to my Virgin Tivo box via IR and (so...

Re: Publish App files to Cloud - images not loading

That sorted it! Thanks :D

You also need the "Reload images/sounds" turned on in the MANUAL part of the iPad app settings. Wasn't expecting that as the app does appear to refresh without "Reload next time" set in the same section

Publish App files to Cloud - images not loading

Hi Rather than using a local sync method I am trialling using the "Publish App files to Cloud" as this is easier for me when using an iPad which is fixed to the wall. It also means that any of my devices which run the project can be synced at different times without having to ensure the PC is on and...

Re: "Screen Brightness Adjust" command

Thanks both!

Lesson learned... don't assume that you have the latest version of the software on your iPad. :shock: (Auto update settings now turned back on!)

Updated to latest version of Centro Control and it works fine. I'll also check the auto brightness settings on the iPad as you suggest :)

Automatic Cloud Sync in iOS Centro Control settings

Hi

In the settings screen for Centro Control app on iOS there is an option "Automatic Cloud Sync"

Can anyone explain what this does and how to use it? It SOUNDS like it might automatically update the app when a new version is saved in the Demopad Cloud but not seen any evidence of this happening :-)

"Screen Brightness Adjust" command

Hi One of the pre-configured commands in the Demopad designer software is "Screen Brightness Adjust (0-100)". I can't find this documented anywhere. Should it adjust the brightness of the iPad? If so, I can't get it to work. I have tried creating a button in the app with this command and then filled...

Re: Bring to front? Send to Back? Ordering of Controls

I wonder if the software has been updated since this post? There is now an option to "Bring to Front" or "Send to Back", but it still doesn't appear to enable me to bring a web view in front of an image? I'm using a panel image to section the app and would like my webview to appear on top of the ima...

Web views "shrink" the web page

Hi So, I'm trying to incorporate a webview, but finding it is "shrinking" the web page on display. So, I have a very simple webpage hosted locally which contains a widget 320px x 320px - and nothing else. I imagined that I could add a webview of the same dimensions to the app and it would display at...

Re: Netatmo Weather Station/Getting data via URL

Just had some info from Demopad support - it's not possible as the commands need to go via https which is not supported in the Demopad feedback engine.
