I also want to mention that I am working on a few different features and could use some input as to what is desired. I started this project because there was nothing else out there and I am very interested in what items are the most useful to people. If you want it, and can test it, I can probably do it.

I just discovered this app from your post on the AVS forum for the cav66 program. I have downloaded the lite app and am interested in the full app. I cannot PM you since I'm new to this forum. Do you still have promo codes left? If so, I'd love to have one. Also, does the Pro version support multiple CAV6 controllers?

Yes, the pro version supports multiple controllers. It has only been tested on 1 system(that I know of), so your feedback is appreciated.

You can email me at the support link on iTunes too. By the time I get your email I will likely have some more promo codes. Please make sure the lite app works for you first. There are many hardware configurations out there, and not all are supported.

icellama - you can reuse the trial code you gave me - didn't use it. I went ahead & purchased the Pro ver.

Hey guys!
I just found this app and thought it was amazing. I am currently buying a new russound CAV6.6 system and wanted a remote conrol that could control everything. I was wondering if this system let me get into my ipod and basically navigate it. I will be installing the ibrdige. Can you post some pictures of how the ipod interface works? Thank you!

I just saw your demo. The system looks really good. I would really recommend you put in your website a step by step instalation guide. The instalation guide should include how to set up the serial to ethernet port.
I also believe that most people use the ipod ibridge, i would recommend creating an interface that looks like the screen on you ipod and that lets you scroll down faster. Besides this the system looks amazing!
Thanks for your hard work!

Do you have any control over the sms 3 through this app?

Does LlamaPanel still exist?  Can't seem to find it on itunes.  I'm looking for a way to control my CAV6.6 via app and without any keypads whatsover.  I was able to connect to the Cav6.6 using a virtual serial port and Indigo server 6 software (used a trial version - product cost $200 so not worth it for what I require).  
 
Anyone using a CAV6.6 that is controlled fully via IOS app?
 
Thanks!
