This application has some specific improvements and limitations.

Summary:  
Animation! Sound! Animated Button Presses! Integrated HTML5 Viewing ! (Graphs/WebCams) etc. Locked Down depending on design.

It is a Kiosk type Web view Application for Indigo Smart Home Servers. Like Indigo Touch - but add animation support, Server control of displayed page, and Dimming controls.

Allows use of Indigo Control page editor to create pages - and with this replacement for Indigo Touch display full screen with a number of enhancements.

Benefits:

- Full Screen Kiosk Mode

- Scalable screen size (Set in App/Settings/Screen Size), enables same page for various devices

- Fully supports animated PNG/Animated GIF display animated screens for all Control Pages - simply update your images to apng (leaving filename unchanged)

- Animated button presses - static images and device controls selectable animation for each press.

- Selectable sounds for button presses, with more to come.

- Indigo Server can adjust displayed screen from within Indigo - updated immediately. Set up in Settings with variable ID pointing to Indigo Variable you have created in Indigo Server to change Control Page, whenever this variable is updated displayed page will change to new Control Page ID

- Indigo Server can Adjust the Screen Dim value at any time. Update an Indigo variable to reflect screen brightness 0.0 - 1.0. Variable ID needs to be set in this application

Update an indigo Variable to trigger, via number reflecting inbuilt sounds, or add own sounds to Files App Kiosk Home, and use sound ID 100- 100+number of files to play. Additionally Trigger Text to speech by updating variable to 'SPEECH: Text to speech to speak'
