2) Notifications: Is this supposed to pop up in the app somewhere or only in the upper left notification bar thing? Do you know if there is a way to make it into an on-screen pop-up
Well, if you are on a control page, the notification text will pop up as visible and then disappear after a short while... but that is a toast-style message so only has the text, not the actions.
That's exactly what I was planning on doing. I was hoping for the notification action thing to pop up on the tablet with embedded action options (lock / unlock) when the doorbell rings.... but I can just put that on a control page as well.
This is probably your best bet... however, your question / use case did prompt a thought -- might be able to push that control page as a popup page. Currently you can have a popup control page window occur when clicking a link (using the Opens in new window option in the control page editor). Could have the action request that a popup window be used (and would be full screen if the tablet were not already on a control page). Let me think about that.
When is the iOS version coming out?
HA! I had a user try hard to get me to make one a while back, but there didn't seem to be enough interest to justify the time involved. This sh!t takes forever to develop and maintain!
Upgrade request: "push control page to all synced Domopad clients"
Possibly, this would be the same as a bunch of individual actions in a group, I guess. Wouldn't be too hard to do though, I'll add it to the request list.
I've rotated through the different levels of notification (low, normal, critical) and on the client side the result is identical. I couldn't find a setting on the client (the device, not the app) to adjust notification behavior (pop-up versus grey bar icon thing).
Android notifications always just appear on the shade as far as I know. But since it is open, I imagine there is some app that will pop those up in some way... but I don't know any offhand.
