Hello,
As I go through the creation of HSTouch screens I realize that I want consistency between an iPod, Android phone, etc. showing the same buttons on different device Configuration Files. I recognize Fonts may be different, but the controls I am using should be fairly generic. What I want is a single point to edit each button set for a device. Is it possible to have these linked so that changing one changes the others? Especially for changing the associated Actions and Status/Device Associations. I can see myself doing more with a button later and currently have 5 devices I would like to use these on as well as wanting to show a couple on multiple screens for the same device.
In the sample image I use a Button to control and label a toggled Homeseer Device and then an Image to show status of that item. The image also toggles the set value. I currently have a few of these and my wife really likes the simplicity of the idea. She knows where each thing is and has a button to turn it on or off. Some use the setting of a light switch or receptacle to show the On/Off status while others show the inverted status of a light sensor on a x10 motion sensor to show if the lights are on in a given location. This simplifies the display of the Status as I just use the Status Image of the Homeseer device.
So I am looking to have Objective items. Is it possible to I generate a library of small Objects? So the attached image would consist of two Objects shown on one screen. I wold then have the same Objects used in another Configuration File, which means it is used by a different Project, (Unless I can have different screen sets used from the same Project on different end unit devices.) So when I change the Action on the Object, it changes on all Screens where that Object is shown.
Sorry, but the 1 source side of me is just screaming foul if I have to generate a button set for each device I Deploy HSTouch screens on, or even if I show the same item in multiple screens on the same device/project.
