Hi,
Love the new local/remote seettings import function, makes it much easier to set up multiple devices. Nice to see this spread across the android and iphone app ove time too, so setting up all your devices should be much easier and quicker.
Would be nice to be able to do IP camera settings this way too, perhaps look at it over next comfigurator release ?
Anyway, with regards functionality, everything seems to be working, but from first impressions, I do not see any speed improvement in updating status of devices etc. It can still be very slow, to the point that at times, if you were looking at it remotely, you would think that devices were turned off, whereas in fact, they just have not retrieved status.
Would be nice to see an improvement in update speeds on login, as it still makes it very untrustworthy with the current time it takes.
Also, perhaps some sort of flag on the keypad screen to show that the app has logged in and is finished updating status of devices, so at least this way it is possible to know that the app is not reporting correct status yet.
Or perhaps even, the status icon for each device could have an initial icon of a blue X instead which indicates that status not yet retrieved, then either the red x or green circle to indicate the read status.

Thanks, these are good suggestions
The IP camera settings are not in Comfigurator so they cannot be imported from the cclx file. The android app uses a 3rd party app IP Cam Viewer, basic (free) or Pro (paid Versions). The browser based IP for cameras does not work on most android phones

From my side it also seems better but I have noticed that sometimes the Control action is not performed and I have to press the action again. I will keep on testing to give more detailed feedback.

Ok, doing a lot of On|Off switching it seems that sometimes the \'state\' get\'s lost.
I used my Test-System which only has 8 zones and created one Control Item that Switches Output 3 On or Off. From the Android App I can switch 9/10 On|Off without any issues but then one slips through where either the Output doesn\'t change OR the update to Android is not seen/acted upon. I am doing it remotely so cannot see the actual Output state. The sequence I use is to select the \'On Action then press the back button to check the state. I then press the Off action and then back again to check the state.

Hi ident,
Yes a noticeable improvement, looks to take about 5 to 6sexonds to get initial update. Once everything is updated then a very quick response time to show New status when controlling through app.
Will play around a bit more and let you know but looks much better from initial testing.
Still reckon the Blue icon status for unknown status would be reassuring and useful though if you want to keep it in mind for layer releases!
Regards
Eamon
