The new RESOL app for the Apple iPad makes your solar yield palpable – worldwide. A touch of your finger is all you need to view detailed temperature charts, generate yield balances and monitor your system‘s status. The basic version of the VBus®Touch app is available for download free of charge in the App Store. More features and extensions are under way. To visualise your individual system with VBus®Touch, a RESOL controller with VBus® data interface (e. g. DeltaSol® BX Plus), connected to the Internet via a DL2 or DL3 datalogger, is required.

Read full descriptionHide full description
The FrontFace Remote Control App allows to remotely control a FrontFace digital signage player PC with your mobile phone or tablet. To use this app, it is required that you have installed the Remote Control Plugin for FrontFace within your FrontFace project. It is also required that your mobile device is in the same (local) network as the FrontFace player PC that you want to remote control. The Remote Control App can start, pause, and stop playlists or touch menus on a FrontFace player PC, turn playlist pages back and forth, fill in text placeholders when starting a playlist and perform basic system operation tasks such as changing the audio volume level of the player PC and shutting down / rebooting the player PC.
