For end users, the ProPanel App features, such as two-way feedback, provide convenient, powerful control over any Pro Control system with a ProLink.z control processor. For dealers, the App simplifies setup with an auto-programming feature, while still allowing for the easy creation of a completely customised user interface via Pro Control Studio software.

In a sea of control Apps, ProPanel enhances the control experience for end users with features such as full two-way feedback including cover art, weather graphics, and dynamic image lists, in addition to high-resolution graphics for the newest generation of iPad. The App displays in both portrait and landscape views by rotating the Apple device, and requires no additional programming. ProPanel supports connection locally via Wi-Fi and offers remote access via auto-switching Wi-Fi and 3G wireless — providing users with the convenience of control and monitoring from virtually anywhere in the world.

For dealers, the ProPanel app’s auto programming feature provides fast and simple setup. Dealers can completely customise the graphical user interface (GUI) to provide their customers with a consistent user experience across all Pro24.z controllers in their systems, including their Apple devices, as well as offer an interface designed to set their devices apart. For simple interface updating either locally or remotely, all graphics are stored conveniently on the ProLink.z processor and the Apple device.

Pro Control general manager Mike Everett says, “Every detail of the ProPanel — from high-resolution graphics to its auto programming feature is designed to provide dealers with quick, effortless programming, while providing an intuitive and visual experience for their customers.”

The ProPanel app is available now for download from the Apple iTunes App Store. Users will need to purchase licenses from their distributor or online from within the Pro Control Studio software to enable communication with their Pro Control system. Dealers are required to register on the Pro Control website for access to the software.
