For those interested and brave... I have added a new ability to Domotics Pad targeted towards those using devices as mounted/house consoles (but which may be of some limited use in other situations) -- the ability for the server to request that Domotics Pad display a specific control page on the device.
Example use cases include popping up a security camera page upon the doorbell being clicked, reseting to an appropriate "morning" page at midnight each night, going to a weather page on a severe weather alert, etc.
Here is how it works -- the new Domotics Page Indigo Plugin (linked below) has a new action to request the display of the page. This is sent via a special push notification so you must have the device in Indigo and paired up. On the client, a new setting exists for Professional / Ultimate users to control when the control page display is honored - Never, Always, Only when displaying another control page, etc. If this condition is met then the device switches to the page automatically - ideal for wall or table consoles. If the condition is not met (e.g. on your phone you choose "Never" or you are not in the app and have "Only when in App" is selected), then you will get a notification in the shade. You can swipe it away or click on it to load the page.
This features is very much in BETA and thus only published to beta testers; you will get the update via the Google Play store as normal but must install the plugin "manually" from the link below.. As always, anyone may join the beta test program:

Please leave any feedback, suggestions, etc. on this feature here. It is very much beta so we have time to incorporate changes / suggestions as necessary as well as, of course, fix any bugs found.
