THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH CENTRO:
The CENTRO is a powerful IP based automation processor, running advanced software developed by our R&D team. It is programmed with our DemoPad Designer software, and gives you complete control over automated and manual functions. Below are some examples of functions you can program the unit to perform automatically, using the advanced features listed:
- Powerful IP Networking Capabilities
connect up to 20 simultaneous client devices (iOS / Android), and communicate with many more control devices through the network

Custom programming - for example: turn your lights off, 35 minutes after sunset, except on weekends & in the summer
- Centrally stored system variables
When one user turns a zone on, any other user (including remote ones) also know about it
- Programmable audio output
Play a custom doorbell or security alert sound through your audio system when an input triggers, or at certain times
- Programmable HDMI output
Have another input to your HDMI distrbution system, to show web pages or a photo frame slideshow programatically
- Advanced Macros
Uses the same powerful logic driven macro generation routines as our control app
- Built in Web Server with browser control
Store the DemoPad project on the CENTRO, and allow control through a web browser using the same customisable interface engine as our app
- Designed with the future in mind
Added features will be available with future firmware updates
