FAQ

Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?

  • Favorites buttons can be added to Watch/Listen and programmed to start playback of your favorite TV/Radio Channel, Movie or Playlist eg CNN, BBC, Fox FM, Alan's Playlist.
  • Holiday Mode buttons can be used to trigger holiday mode programming whilst the home owners are away.
  • Use the tech support button to send you, the dealer, an email notifying you that the owner requires assistance.
  • Use the nurse call button for aged care based functionality to call the carer.
  • The On/Off buttons and checkbox buttons can be used for various programming including boolean variable manipulation, turning automated tasks on/off and more.
  • Radio buttons can be used to change the state of a number variable.  This is useful for mode selection in the home for modes that have more than 2 options.  If a mode has two options only please utilise any of the other On/Off based Experience Buttons.

Why do you only support OS 2.9 and above?

Experience Buttons requires new functionality only available in OS 2.9 and above.  It will not work for older versions of OS.

Can you add XYZ button to the Experience Button Suite?

If its a good idea and generic enough where other dealers will use it then yes.  You will need to provide us with an on and off PNG based image at 300x300.  If you have obtained or modified any images sourced from someone else please provide any relevant licencing information that we need to abide by.

Do you offer showroom discounts?
We offer dealers a free showroom licence for demonstration and educational purposes.  See link below for T&C's and signup procedure.
