Jes, We have an ISONAS system at Office Nomads and for the most part it works fine. The problem is that even though it is panel free, it requires a dedicated windows box which essentially, is a panel. Also, the software on it has an interface only an engineer could love that is way too complex for a simple 2 door system like we have at our space. I posted this message because we are looking to open a 2nd space and I do not want to buy this system again because of the software.
One solution would be to write our own software. The folks at ISONAS were nice enough to give us a spec and we figured out it would be pretty straight forward to write a new driver for the hardware. We can run the doors in stand-alone mode greatly simplifying the requirements. Office Nomads can't afford to pay for the development of this on our own. Do you think ISONAS would be interested in covering the development costs in return for better software? Can your father ask around in the company and connect me with someone I can talk to about this? This could be a lot of fun. :) Jacob --- Office Nomads - Individuality without Isolation http://www.officenomads.com - (206) 323-6500 On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 9:38 PM, Jes <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Jacob, > > Reading through these messages as a newcomer, there wasn't much I > could comment on, but this one I can!
