iRule version 2.6 for iOS has been released. Current users can update their iRule app from theApp Store free of charge.Revisions and Additions
Sonos Module
You’ve been asking for it and we’re happy to finally be able to deliver it! The Sonos Module integrates iRule system control and advanced Sonos control. With iRule, an iPad or Android tablet, and the Sonos Module, you can browse and play a full audio library (streaming radio coming soon), yet still control system volume, input, lights, etc. No more switching apps all the time!
Onkyo-Integra Module
Like an “app within an app”, the Onkyo-Integra Module enables control Onkyo Integra network receivers and processors. Select input source, network source, and radio station, stream from internet radio stations, local network media, or USB, and display content information.
Automation Module for Leviton Z-Wave
Need a fast, simple way to add Z-Wave control to an iRule remote? The Automation Module controls Z-Wave devices via the Leviton VRC0P-1LW Vizia RF + Plug-In Serial Interface Module. Simply drag and drop the Automation Module into your remote, and control light switches, light dimmers (both horizontal and vertical layout), and even locks. This is only the beginning; there’s more coming soon!
iTunes Module Additions and Revisions
- Multiple iPads running the iTunes client can now connect simultaneously.
- TV shows are now supported.
Transparent Drawer Background Support
Transparent Drawer backgrounds introduced in the latest Builder update are now supported in this iOS app release. This means that Drawers without backgrounds in Builder will now be rendered without backgrounds, instead of black as in the previous release.
iPhone 5 & iPad 3 Screen Resolution Support
These new handsets were introduced in the last Builder update, but are now fully-supported in this release.
New Unifed App
Previously, there were two iRule apps: iRule for iPhone/iPod touch and iRule HD for iPad. With this release, the main iRule app will now run on both iPhone/iPod touch AND iPad/iPad mini, so it is no longer necessary to download two separate apps if you have one of each device. Eventually, iRule HD will be phased out, but it will be maintained until some time next year to allow a convenient migration to the new unified app.
Other Changes and Fixes
- Resolved an issue where using volume buttons after leaving and returning to a panel caused a crash.
- Fixed a problem where the app would crash when pairing the iTunes Module with an empty library.
- Corrected a problem music playback would be interrupted even if no hard-button volume control device was defined.
- Fixed a problem where opening or closing a Drawer in Panels with multiple pages would sometimes trigger commands.
- Resolved an issue where leaving a panel while a gateway connection was in progress would cause a crash.
