Home Automation
Posted on March 24, 2014
Designing pretty UI for Windows CE devices can be tricky. Therefore we would like to give you some ideas, how to use iPack controls and create GUI that matches modern design guidelines. This use case is a mock up of Home Automation application with vast functionality. It allows you to control lights in rooms, heating in rooms, hot water, irrigation, energy consumption, security cameras, home media center with movies and music.
If you are building a home automation application it may be a good ground to start. You can download this project at the bottom of this page.
