Cytech will be working on new versions of the android apps  soon for tablet and phone

Does anyone have any requests of suggestions

Is the iPad user interface better than the Android Tablet app for example?

Hi, havnt used the iPad so can't compare, but a couple of interesting things to pull through perhaps on a comfort info page would be

1)system time and date.
2) sunset time and date

I'd like to see an improved monitoring mode. At the moment we have a nice list if zones etc where the icons change with movement but even with just a few they scroll off screen so difficult to monitor all at once on small screen. Maybe have a condensed view of zone # and icon only or a list view that shows activity in easy to read format.

Hi, I think it would be a good idea if the phone app could announce things like 'back door open' or 'fire in kitchen' as the keypad does. This would be useful when I am working in the garden so I could tell if someone enters the house. I have good wifi signal all over the property but phone signal is very bad so could miss a call telling me I have a fire. Also would it be possible to ring the phone (over wifi)so I could talk to the door station or just make a sound so I know someone is at the door? This would stop me having to carry both the house phone and my mobile while in the garden.

Ident,

Just another quick one if it was feasible. There are for example a number of flags or outputs which people would see as important ones whichbtheybqoyld like to see quick access to. It would be nice if either on the main page, there was space to place user defined flag or output status to, or else a dedicated page which could display ones that users were able to define as priority.

You would be able to  see it on the control menu as feedback
Putting on the home page may be useful  in some cases but getting the software to handle this would be more complicated and may make it messy for users
