wpmjones Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Just installed it and LOVE IT! This will make it SO much easier to control my stuff from outside the home. Just one question... In the settings, I see an option to "Show Hidden Items" but I don't see anywhere to hide particular devices. For instance. I have a RemoteLinc that controls some lights. So I don't need to see the RemoteLinc buttons listed in my devices since the lights themselves are already listed. How do I hide a device? Thanks for providing this tool for Android!
InsteonNut Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Hi wpmjones, Thank you! To hide devices, folders, scenes, or programs navigate to the item you would like to hide and press and hold the folder, device, scene, or program row until a pop-up occurs asking if you would like to hide this item. Tap on the option to hide it and it will not be shown unless you enable the "Show Hidden Items" option under settings. Wes
wpmjones Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Brilliant! (Still learning the Android system) Thanks! PJ
dss Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Great app so far. If possible would like it to be a little quicker, more responsive. Also when I hide devices it seems to forget that the devices are supposed to be hidden and then appear again and devices marked as favorites seem to get unchecked as favorites. Also would like to request the ability to sort the devices in the favorites list. Thanks
kurelgyer Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Don't know how I just came across this. I've been looking for such a solution. Looks very nice! Seems to work pretty well also. One glitch for me: I have a ceiling fan connected to a SwitchLinc Dimmer. The on level is programmed to be 40%. This is reflected in MobiLinc. When I turn on the device by clicking the light bulb on the left, the fan comes on 100%. It did not stop at the programmed on level. It reacted like it received a "fast on". Great app!
InsteonNut Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 Hi kurelgyer, Thank you! We've fixed the On Level issue in our internal releases. The next public beta will include this fix. Hi Dss, What Android device are you using? We have made some speed improvements since the first release that will appear in the next public beta. Also, we've been able to reproduce the missing favorites issue and are addressing it. We're looking into the hiding of devices issues. Wes

InsteonNut Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks dss, The Droid is one of our local test devices that we test with including optimizing for the best performance possible. Wes
dss Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 It says Beta period has expired 4/30/11. Will there be another Beta or just wait for the release version?
InsteonNut Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Hi Dss, We are working on one last issue before releasing the next beta but we expect to release it as early as tomorrow. We would like to run another beta period before officially releasing. Wes
wpmjones Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 My beta expired Can't wait for the next version. Once I figured out all the tricks (more getting used to the Android OS than learning the app), it worked flawlessly. Thanks for the great app!
InsteonNut Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Hi wpmjones, Thank you for your kind words! We are hard at work finalizing the next beta and expect to release very soon. Hang in there, it's coming. Wes
InsteonNut Posted May 7, 2011 Author Posted May 7, 2011 Thank you for everyone's feedback! We are happy to announce that MobiLinc for Android Beta 2 is now available: http://www.mobileintegratedsolutions.com/utilities/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=461
C Martin Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Hi, I just downloaded and I am currently testing. Looks Good! Comments: UI looks good Syncing is good I like the Status Feedback I will be doing some more extensive testing. I am considering using a dedicated Android Tablet as a wall mounted Interface for my ISY System. Thanks for the good looking program. Clarence
