Hi everyone,

 

I am looking into buying an Android tablet/smartphone. Can anyone tell me if the Java administrative console would work on Android?

I'll second this question, any responses?

I use an android phone (v2.3.4). I can tell you that the web-page part of the ISY works fine, but the admin console page (I assume the java part) does not come up. I can access the devices, program status, scenes, etc. I cannot add or edit programs.

 

Unfortunately, I have never investigated whether java for android even makes sense or exists....never felt the need to get to that level of detail on a cell phone.

It would be great to be able to have full administrative console access on a tablet. Makes it really convenient to go around the house programming and tweaking.

 

Isn't UDI re-working the Admin Console away from Java to some other native web interface? It seems I remember another thread that talked about it.

A little off topic, but conductor for android is one android app that allows access to the isy-99. Actually, not quite so much off topic.

I use conductor also. If adding and updating ISY programs is the goal, conductor is NOT the answer, unfortunately. Conductor provides a bit more finger-friendly interface to your scenes and devices. It allows access to existing programs and allows the creation of widgets for such purposes. It does NOT give program status or access to the program language. I have found it to be a less reliable indicator of device status. I don't think I would use conductor for the purposes of going "around the house programming and tweaking".

If I understand you correctly...basically Conductor is just a "remote" in the sense it just preforms actions created in the Admin console?

Yes. I would concur with that assessment.
