Home Control Plus Setup
How to transfer your Touchscreen to Home Control Plus
- Create and name a new folder. The naming of this folder is important, as the name of the folder will create the unique file name in our application.
- In Design Center copy and paste your Touchscreen. If your copied Touchscreen is not a TPT1210, right click on it and select Convert to TPT1210. If the only convert selection is a TPT650, simply follow through and convert it to a TPT650. Now convert the TPT650 to a TPT1210.
- Do a full Program Update to Vantage Controller.
- Open your TPT1210 in Touchscreen Designer. In the tool bar, select Design, then Export To. Now select Export Files and click Export.
- Locate the newly created folder, select Open and then Save.
- Find your saved folder, right click and select Send to Compressed Zipped Folder. The Home Control Plus application only accepts zipped files.
- Open iTunes and select your iPad under devices. At the top tab, select Apps and scroll down to file sharing. Now select HC Plus and simply drag the zipped file into the documents area.
- If HC Plus is running while transferring or replacing files you must restart the app. (To restart app, double tap home button, running apps will appear at the bottom of the iPad press and hold on the HC Plus icon until a the red X appears, then press red X to close)
Wifi and 3G Settings
Home Control Plus uses the IP address in Design Center as the default. If HC Plus can’t connect with the default ip address, a text box will prompt you to enter an alternate IP address. This IP address will now be stored in the application. When starting HC Plus, it will try to connect to the default IP address first; after 15 seconds, if there is no connection it will use the alternate IP address.
