Multiple Locations

Postby alohadave808 » Fri Sep 21, 2012 10:07 am

Is it possible to control/view my house as well as my business using different profiles on the same ipad or iphone?
I want to use Mobilinc for my house system as well as my office system but am concerned about conflicts.

Yes!

Go to My Settings (the icon with the two crossed wrenches)->Selected Profile and tap the "+" button to create a new profile.

I have setup two profiles, one to use when I am at home to link with my LAN and another profile I use when away from home which links with a DNS service so that I can access my ISY-99 remotely. On my iPad the profile is shown in the upper right corner of the screen and I can easily/quickly change the profile by clicking on the profile name. On my iPhone though, there is no such profile access. On my iPhone I have to change profiles by going through the settings menu. Can this iPad profile implementation be copied to the iPhone version?

Hi Fredo,

Just curious, why do you need two profiles for this? MobiLinc was designed for one profile both in and outside of your home. MobiLinc uses UPnP discovery to "find" your ISY on your local network and use the local HTTP address when on your local Wi-Fi. If not found it will use the HTTPS address instead assuming its connecting external. You shouldn't have to switch profiles for this functionality.

Better yet, if you signup and use MobiLinc Connect you never have to worry about IP addresses. One profile, one account and you can access your ISY both inside and away as long as you have internet access.

When I try to add a profile ( Android MBL Pro) there is no + sign, trying to configure vacation home (have ISY at home and 2412N at vacation house). What am i doing wrong?

Hi riptyler,

In Android, press and hold the active profile row to get a popup asking to create a new profile.

Thanks Wes, my wife's iPad is using HD, love the look! I'll be one of the first to jump if you roll it out for my Android tablet.
