To implement Wake On Lan, you first need to know the 'magic packet' to send to the network. This consists of 6 bytes of 255 (or FF in hex) followed by 16 repetitions of the device's MAC address, in hex format. Hex data is entered in our software in \x format, hence the command will be: \xFF\xFF\xFF\...

Flags are Boolean (YES/NO) variables within the software. They can have one of two values: ON, or OFF. Any action can set the status of a flag, and they are used for the following purposes: 1. Flag Dependent Actions – where particular parts of an action list are only executed if a particular flag is...

The Actions menu is where you assign action that will be performed when the button is either pressed, released, or both. It is recommended to use the ‘Release’ actions wherever possible – this gives the user the option to press their finger on a button, & move their finger away from the button witho...

A sub page is a page canvas area which is smaller than the project page canvas size. Sub pages can be inserted as page objects onto normal pages, and can either be always visible, or appear in response to a flag condition (as can any page object). Any sub page which appears will ‘block’ any buttons ...

What Are Discrete Codes? Discrete codes are IR codes that instead of having a direct physical button perform only a single (discrete) function. An example of this would be an IR code which ONLY turns on a TV. Unlike a normal power IR code which will turn on a TV if it is off or turn it off if it is...

Once the project is ready to be deployed, you should ensure that the iPad / iPhone in question is on the same network as your computer (so that it can communicate with it through wifi), and that you have placed the project in the upload state, by pressing F5, or clicking ‘Upload to device’ from the ...

Wired Devices Wired Devices have very little set up needed. Simply plug in the power and Ethernet cords and then it is set up and ready to use. Although, it is recommended that you apply a static IP address so that its IP does not change, stopping the app from working. First, you will need iHelp fr...

Press and Hold is useful for mimicking real remotes where you would hold down a button to do an action. For example, turning up the volume of a TV by holding down a button rather than clicking the same button many times. ** NOTE in the latest version of the software, you can use the press/hold actio...

Learning Infrared (IR) codes is the process of taking a remote control and recording the data that is sent to the device. By doing this, these commands can be saved into a project and sent from an IP to IR gateway. Learning via Global Cache device. If you own a Global Cache iTach device these have a...

XBMC integration is very easy with Demopad and will work without any extra hardware other than the XBMC computer itself! Pre-Setup Before you program the DemoPad software to work with XBMC you must make some small modifications to the setup of the XBMC system. First, go to the network tab in system ...

The app currently supports 2 methods for dealing with feedback from devices. The first is to match a precise piece of data, eg looking for the data: 'POWER=OFF'. if the app sees that data, then you can perform some actions (for example setting a flag or a label to update the user interface). The sec...

It is possible for the DemoControlHD app to listen to any data coming back from a device, and perform actions when it sees particular data anywhere in the response. It is important to set the response terminator for the device (defaults to hex 0D) so that the app knows when a particular ‘chunk’ of d...

Buttons & Gauges can be linked to Rako using the Rako Ethernet Bridge. You must have a device set up as a ‘Rako Ethernet Bridge’ in the system. The default port for communication is 9761. The UDP option must also be checked for Rako systems. Select the ‘Link to Rako’ option & choose the Rako Bridge ...
