New firmware for MVP-7500/8400/8400i

Sorry, but this post is not available in English

We are back !

At least we are back, after quite a while without news :( Sorry for that but now we’ll post regularly some news about Automation world, and also tricks about use and programmation. First important news for 2010 is the big return of AMX, at least in France. After few years of desert cross with no communication, no news, problems for everything, it looks AMX is on way of deep changes !
Marketing and sales are now managed by new people. Catherine Berriat in charge of France for last years is no more part of company, and it’s now managed by Guillaume Le Royer and Philippe Fournier. We had opportunities to talk with them and it looks very promising for next months with very important changes to get AMX back on business here in France. It’s definitively the good time to get back in business with them.
All the more, it’ll be good for development of market to get at least a real competitor back in front of Crestron, that was pretty quiet on French market during these past years !

iPhone/iPod Touch Beta-Tester ?

Filed under: AMX,Crestron,General Talk — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — vincen @ 8.34 pm

We are currently developping little softwares to work with your AMX and Crestron systems. We’ll start with debugging softwares for use on site, and then after some user programs for control of your automation systems.

If you are interested and owner of an iPhone with OS in version 2 (First or second generation), or an iPod Touch with OS version 2, feel free to drop us a message on our contact form.

We’ll get back to you as soon as we have something to test that works a minimum. Don’t forget to let us know if you are an AMX, a Crestron or both systems fan.

See you soon :-)
