Achtung: Diese APP ist kein Update! Sie wurde komplett überarbeitet und erlaubt nun die Programmierung der Fernbedienungsseiten am Smartphone oder Tablet. Beim Überschreiben von vorhandenen Vorgängern wird der gesamte Inhalt überschrieben und die geladenen Fernbedienungen gelöscht. Wollen Sie Ihre im a.i.o. Creator erstellten Fernbedienungen weiter verwenden, dürfen Sie kein Update machen! Das neue iWindow ist eine multifunktionale Plattform zur Überwachung und Steuerung von Fenstern und Türen. Mit dieser können Sie: • Fensterzustände (offen, geschlossen und gekippt) überwachen • Fenster-, Rollladen- oder Markisenmotoren steuern • Lichter und Steckdosen schalten • Glasbruch- und Rauchmelder einbinden • Alarmfolgen ablaufen lassen Mit einem einfachen Sprachmodul kann zwangsläufig beim Öffnen der Haustür der Sicherheitszustand des Objektes gemeldet werden. Die Meldung kann akustisch und optisch erfolgen. Das Programmieren der Fernbedienungsseiten ist sehr einfach. Für die verschiedenen Sender oder Empfänger gibt es vordefinierte Kacheln. Diese werden automatisch beim Einlernen einem vorher definierten Raum zugeordnet. Nach dem Öffnen der Kachel werden die Schaltmöglichkeiten gezeigt. In die verschiedenen Räume kommt man per Wischbefehl. Mit der raumunabhängigen Übersicht hat man auf einem Blick den Status seines Objektes. Man erkennt, ob Fenster geöffnet oder gekippt sind, Lampen oder Steckdosen angeschaltet sind, Sender eine Funkstörung haben oder einen Batteriewechsel benötigen. Per VPN-Fernzugang ist die Kontrolle und Steuerung dieses Systems weltweit möglich. Für weitere Informationen besuchen Sie bitte unsere Seite http://www.iwindow.de

SmartCut is a cutlist optimizer for iPhone and iPad. Enter your parts and the sheets or lengths you can buy, and it works out how to cut them with the least waste. You get the cutting diagrams, the number of sheets you need, where every offcut falls, and a cut-by-cut sequence you can follow at the saw. MATERIALS Sheet materials such as plywood, MDF, chipboard, acrylic, glass and sheet metal, and linear stock such as construction timber, bar, pipe and extrusion. Work in decimals or fractions, in whichever units you use. CUT TYPES • Guillotine — for saws that cut edge to edge in a straight line, such as a table saw or beam saw. Choose length cuts for ripping, or width cuts for cross-cutting on a mitre saw or a cross-cut sled. • Efficiency — the default. Prioritises the fewest cuts and the least waste, ideal for a jigsaw, laser cutter or CNC. REAL-WORLD DETAIL The plan matches how the material will actually be cut: • Blade width, so the kerf is not quietly ignored • Grain direction, with a per-part lock to length or width • Edge banding on any side of a part • Stock trim, to skip damaged or unsquare edges • Infinite stock, when you can buy as many sheets as you need FEATURES • Fast and accurate layouts • Sheet / 2D / boards / panels • Linear / 1D / bars / rods • Decimals and fractions, with quick fraction entry • Colour-coded materials, so a mixed job stays readable • Stack identical layouts • Save and reopen projects • Export to PDF to print for the workshop AT THE SAW Step through the cuts one at a time, with measurements shown from both sides so you can check yourself against either edge. Or print the PDF and take it to the bench. ALSO AVAILABLE Cutlist Evolution runs the same optimizer in any web browser, on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook, with nothing to install. cutlistevo.com FEEDBACK hello@cutrevolution.com TERMS OF USE https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
