This tool provides a smarter way of using grandMA2 console's integrated web remote. The main advantage is the discovery of grandMA2 devices connected to the network - so you do not have to remember IP addresses. It also keeps the the mobile device awake so the connection does not get inerrupted by activating sleep/standby mode after some time. FEATURES: - Device discovery: See all active MANet2 devices (for instant connection) - Always-On mode: Prevents your device from going to sleep mode while the app is opened - AutoConnect on launch: Automatically connect to last IP on launch (*) - AutoLogin on connect: Automatically log in with your predefined username/password (*) - Colorize by IP: Colorize devices by last byte of IP address (*) FREE VERSION: The free version can always be used with a basic feature set. FULL VERSION (*): The full version unlocks settings and some extra features. And most important: Supports the development :-) IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS: A fast WiFi connection without multicast filtering is required for discovery! This app "wire-tap's" the grandMA2 network session, so there is always a small risk of losing discovery functionality with new software versions. This is NOT an official app from MA Lighting Technology or MA Lighting International.
