Bring your RTI control system to your iPhone — and into your car. RTi Companion turns your RTI macros and scenes into simple, tappable tiles. Fire them from your car's display, or from your iPhone. RTi Companion works with Apple CarPlay. Everything runs over a secure hosted cloud relay, so there's no port forwarding, no static IP, and no VPN to configure. Tap a tile to trigger a macro. Watch live system feedback update in real time — lights, shades, security and more show their current state right on the tile, so you always know what's on at a glance. FEATURES • Trigger your RTI macros right from your car's display • Works with Apple CarPlay • Organize your favorites into named groups of tiles • Live system-variable feedback — see what's on before you tap • Secure cloud relay — no port forwarding, no static IP, no VPN • A clean, driver-friendly layout designed for the car • Works with any RTI XP-series processor HOW IT WORKS RTi Companion pairs with your RTI system through a secure relay. Your integrator installs the RTi Companion driver on your XP processor and activates your relay access; then you pair the app with a Project ID and Pairing Token. That's it — your system is in your pocket and on your dashboard. REQUIREMENTS • An RTI XP-series processor with the RTi Companion driver installed • Active RTi Companion relay access • Setup takes your integrator only a few minutes Your privacy comes first: no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, and no third-party data sharing. Pairing is secured with one-way hashed tokens, and relay state is never stored long-term. RTi Companion is built and supported by Custom Control Drivers.
