A very large and often requested update to eKeypad ISY is now available in iTunes.

 

In this version a full in-application upgrade capability has been added that allows you to add support for a growing number of additional automation devices. Now you can control everything in your system!

 

- Full control of a single Elk M1 panel control

- Full control of a single Ness M1 panel control

- Upgrade to control an unlimited number of Elk or Ness M1 panels

- View real-time status of an unlimited number of Brultech energy monitors

- View and control an unlimited number of IP Video devices (>225 supported)

Just a warning for those who are considering updating to this new version. The app crashes when I try using the Bypass Manager with zones already bypassed or if I try to bypass a zone from the Bypass Manager. I already submitted the bug to Jayson.

[jaysonc]

This is a confirmed bug that affects the bypassing of violated zones on an Elk M1 alarm panel. A bug fix was submitted to Apple on Friday morning and is already flagged as in review by Apple.

 

I anticipate the update to be available Monday or Tuesday. I will update this topic when the update becomes available.

The crash discovered in version 2.2.0 release has been fixed in a version 2.2.2 update available on iTunes today.

 

If you have downloaded v2.2.0 please update to v2.2.2 if you plan on upgrading to either the Elk or Ness module.

ekeypad pro is crashing at launch on my ipad 3g (4.2 GM) after updating to 2.2.2 - works fine on my iphone 4 (4.2 GM) though. tried deleting/redownloading but no luck.

 

previously, 2.2.0 worked fine on both iphone & ipad with 4.2 GM.

I am afraid that my work to add iPad support (which is very near completion) has caused this issue. Currently the eKeypad applications are not flagged as supported on the iPad. This means that they should run in the compatibility mode you are accustom to using.

 

In the recent update, I attempted to rush a fix out for a specific crash and accidentally left part of the iPad support enabled. You are seeing a crash because eKeypad is trying to load a non-existent iPad optimized screen.

 

I have already fixed this issue and submitted the update to Apple yesterday. I spoke with them about what happened and they are expediting review. An update should be available today or tomorrow.

 

This issue only affects eKeypad running on the iPad.

 

I am sorry for the trouble this has caused.

[jamiefiedler]

thanks jayson, glad it was an easy and quick fix.

 

native ipad support? can't wait!

[jaysonc]

Oh, yea. Coming very soon.

 

Several other nice things in process as well.

I have an analog cctv system with a ethernet DVR which lets me stream it over any internet connection. Does the eKeypad support this type of system?

[jaysonc]

Midrar,

 

Currently eKeypad has support for DVRs from 3 manufacturers. Unfortunately only one of these is available in the US...Dedicated Micros

 

eKeypad supports all models of Dedicated Micros DVRs.

 

I should note that DVRs from several other manufacturers are in process and will be high on the priority list after native iPad support is completed. These include select DVR models from: Everfocus, Luxon and Samsung.

 

eKeypad is always looking for good equipment to add support for. If you can give some additional details on the DVR you have it is possible that support can be added for it if it is not one of the 4 listed above.
