Hi everybody, I am just trying to set up my demopad control system and have a few questions
1. If i put a background picture on the home page is it automatically replicated on all subsequent pages including subpages?
2. I want to integrate LightwaveRF light control into the demopad, I have the WIfi link device and their app is rubbish so can anyone offer advice on how to do this.
3. How do I launch the Sonos app from demopad, I was going to design a page for the sonos but I figure their app probably looks better so I just want to be able to launch it on a demopad subpage and still be able to navigate back to the remote, is this possible.
4. If I have three sky+ boxes do all their commands need different names?

Thank you for your help, I am sure I will be back for more help shortly! :oops:

Have you tried contacting DemoPad support directly via email?

If you take time to read other comments on DemoPad support I think you'll find a pretty unanymous 5 stars.

Here's my stab at your questions:
1. If i put a background picture on the home page is it automatically replicated on all subsequent pages including subpages? - it will be on the home page's sub-pages, but not on other 'main' pages
2. I want to integrate LightwaveRF light control into the demopad, I have the WIfi link device and their app is rubbish so can anyone offer advice on how to do this. - Not familiar with LightwaveRF; have you searched the forum? Try this link http://www.demopad.com/forum/viewtopic. ... veRF#p3044
3. How do I launch the Sonos app from demopad, I was going to design a page for the sonos but I figure their app probably looks better so I just want to be able to launch it on a demopad subpage and still be able to navigate back to the remote, is this possible. - I don't believe Sonos can be lauched but have a look at this post http://www.demopad.com/forum/viewtopic. ... ilit=sonos
4. If I have three sky+ boxes do all their commands need different names? - Commands are associated to the device definition, so if each of your Sky+ is an individual device, which they should, then similar commands can bear the same name

Yep - already answered via support@demopad.com

Sonos can now be launched with sonos://

If you are controlling all your Sky boxes with say a single iTach IP2IR, then there should only be 1 device in the system, and commands will have to have unique names.

To the Original Poster....
I would suggest that if you want help you should be a little more patient this is primarily a user to user forum.
A little over a day is not a long time to wait for an answer on a small forum like this.

Posts like your second one sure put me off from helping you, the world does not exist to serve you... :!:

To be fair, the original post was in December, the 2nd post was in March!
