HDanywhere Control vs Sentian

The HDanywhere Control app (HDA CTRL) provides control of your HDanywhere Multiroom system using WiFi and your LAN to switch between your entertainment devices, and in some cases control them. Watch TV your way: HDA CTRL lets you switch between the entertainment devices connected to your mHub or Modular system without a physical infrared hub remote. Included NowTV and Roku control: Also included is a free control pack for NowTV and Roku media players. Now you can switch to NowTV or Roku and control it (play, pause, select etc) all from the same app! Optimised for all devices: The app is available to download from the app store and works on most modern phone and tablet devices, and the best bit... it's free! IMPORTANT: Only some entertainment source devices are available for control via the HDA CTRL app. These are still in BETA testing and include NowTV and Roku media players. An active network connection is required at all times for reliable function of the app.

Sentian (Pty) Ltd is at the forefront of smart home security aiming to turn your property into an extension of yourself. To give it, and therefore you, perception through the senses of sight, sound and motion detection, among others. To make it ‘sentient’, giving you greater control and insight into the status of your property and your loved ones within, wherever you are. The Sentian app is the most advanced of the available user interfaces into the Sentian InTouch and OnSight home system with push notification support for all the events generated by your home. The app enables an owner or a user granted access to a Sentian enabled home, to interact with all the system capabilities including managing the intruder alarm system, control home automation devices, view and control cameras, camera archive footage and camera cloud event footage. NOTES: * The Sentian app is only usable by individuals with access to an estate running the Sentian InTouch and OnSight embedded system. * Some ISP's have DNS resolution issues for local WAN addresses, we then recommend changing your DNS provider to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 rather than the router assigned one.
