* Note: Although ControlSoft does run on Win95/98 we do not recommend these operating systems due to their unreliability problems as an operating system. Where ever possible, you should specify Windows NT4.0 sp6 or Win2000 Professional sp2 or preferably XP.

See Operating Systems Supported for more Information

 
WARNING !!!

The new DTK622-USB node is NOT compatible with ControlSoft

In order to use a USB port, you will require a regular DTK622 node, plus a separate USB/232 convertor

 

 

 

LightPanel Download:

LightPanel is a lightweight client that talks over IP to Controlsoft Server. It requires no Database, and instead creates its own self documented .ini file which can be easily edited.

It can be used for local office lighting. Can schedule an event, dim lights when the PC ScreenSaver comes on and return to previous state when the mouse is moved. Button labels and presets as well as fade times are configurable and it will even turn office lights off when the PC is shutdown if desired.

DownLoad LightPanel (build 49) approx 1.5M (included in ControlSoft 190 up)

Note: you must be running ControlSoft Server for LightPanel to work
