Here are some of the features I would like to see added to HSTouch, and will make HSTouch an even better product.
High Priority:
Low Priority:
That's it for now. If you have your own suggestions, please post them here.
High Priority:
- Power Management: Have the ability to to turn on and off the screen of the client using a Homeseer event, without additional plugins/scripts. Bonus points if Homeseer can instruct the client to go to sleep.
- Templates: Not sure what to call it, every touch screen product has its name for it. I basically would like to be able to create a screen which is part of another screen (think <IFRAME> tags), making it easier to update/manage common areas such as a navigation bar (vs having to edit each screen whenever making a change to the nav bar).
- Support multiple layers/transparency levels: I like to create complicated non-square buttons, which would require multiple PNG's on top of each other. This is currently not possible without screwing up the transparency.
- Text button update interval: When using HSTouch script code to set the text value of a text label, it updates every few seconds. In certain cases (i.e., linking to a script), it can put real stress on the Homeseer system. Being able to manually define the refresh/update interval would allow a user to decide how important this data is.
Low Priority:
- Multi line text labels, supporting multiple styles: I have run into the need to display 2 lines on a button, with the 2nd line in a smaller font. Definitely not high priority, but figured I would add it to my wish list.
- Built-in speaker client: This one doesn't need much explanation
That's it for now. If you have your own suggestions, please post them here.
