I've actually done very little lighting programming as the
majority of large residential projects I worked on used Lutron
lighting and I just had to interface with it.? However, I was
thrown in the deep end one time when Crestron had just released
their line of Dali lighting products and I had to program a system
in simplwindows for an entire convention center in a large city.?
D3 wouldn't work for what was needed so the whole system had to be
programmed in SimplWindows.
I ran into some very strange issues with the lighting control
and contacted Crestron for some help.? The solution was to program
a few Dali lights in D3, open up the resulting SimplWindows
program, and see how D3 was dealing with the lights.? I then
replaced some of the underlying logic in my program with how D3
was talking to the Dali lighting and all the problems vanished.
D3 has been used countless times and while the code it develops
is bloated you can steal some pieces and use it yourself to keep
from reinventing the wheel and eliminate a lot of potential bugs.?
You also know that in spite of the bloat that the way the
underlying D3 code runs is scalable; which can keep you out of
trouble in a system for a large home.
Hope this helps

You might contact them and check.? However, the iPad interface is
a little dated and not the most refined.? But it doesn't need to
be because most clients never touch it.? I have some client's that
like the ability to change the lights themselves. It is using the
old Mobile G Pro app as when I first started it, that is all the
was available.? I've used it in a number of projects and over the
years expanded it to handle larger systems.
