No worries - as far as I'm concerned it's all relevant .

Just for comparison here's the standard inbuilt UI7 - accessed via a web
browser.   Both UI's are active currently and there are several available
Apps for iOS and Android that can be used for direct access (perhaps that
was unclear below as I was referring specifically to AltUI).

Apologies Phil - this thread got well and truly hijacked..

The AltUI interface is similar to the Fibaro grid interface, although not

set fullscreen. There is no remote/direct UI App unlike Fibaro.   You can
use a Bootwatch theme https://bootswatch.com supplemented with
your own CSS
and you can add your own code for the handling of any specific device
display layout.  One neat aspect is that the UI will aggregate multiple
Vera
controllers so they present as one.

As ever I've just played and half finished, still a few font size and
wrong icon issues, but here's a current screen shot using a custom dark
slate green with orange accents.  My web space seem to be under maintenance
at the moment so it's a DropBox share link.  If you want to see how any
specific device is handled I'll scroll down and see if I have one.

Kevin, got any links to pics of the 3rd party UI For Vera? Will be
interesting to see how that works out.



I'm not really using my HC2 now apart from the energy monitoring which is
quite good. Not really sure why though, a combination of things probably -
very slow development progress and a UI that looks nice but is just so
inflexible.

Paul.
