Watch This!Once upon a time, Brady Norman, one of our Software Development Engineers, decided to tinker with his Apple Watch after work. He ended up making some good headway… and now here we are: favorited rooms, devices, and media are now all accessible on the Watch app! The End! Thanks, Brady, for making this happen! Learn More Here’s a Tip for You from Mitch at Greenfield Solutions Mitch used the Room control Driver and the UI Configuration agent. “The basic premise is when the room enters listen mode, use the UI Configuration agent to change the screensaver. When the room exits listen mode, change the screensaver back. You have to do this for each room’s enter/exit listen, and then you pick the screen you want to customize.” —Mitch Greenfield Download The Step-By-Step Guide Here Time To Spruce Things Up; Send Me Your Tips and Tricks!
