Kuma Companion Dashboard

Kuma Companion Dashboard puts your event control panel on an iPad or iPhone.

It connects to KUMA Dashboard running on a host (a Mac or Windows computer) on the same network and shows the panel you built there: big countdown timers, status boxes that change colour with your rules, progress bars, labels, images and video. Tap a button to press the matching button in Bitfocus Companion.

• Live values from Companion, refreshed several times a second • The same look as on the host: fitted text, colours, rules, label bars, progress bars, backgrounds • One-tap control of Companion buttons and page switching • Finds the host on your network automatically (Bonjour), or enter its address • Protected by the access password you set in Dashboard; it is kept in the device Keychain • Keeps the screen on, full-screen kiosk view, any orientation • Built-in demo panel, so you can try the app without a host

Requirements: KUMA Dashboard on a Mac or Windows host, and Bitfocus Companion, on the same Wi-Fi network. The network must let devices talk to each other (no client isolation). This app only shows the panel and presses its buttons; panels are edited in KUMA Dashboard on the host.

New in 1.1 • Watch a Dashboard from anywhere through the KUMA Relay (end-to-end encrypted): enter the pairing code and password the Dashboard shows. When the host switches on "Allow control" you can press its buttons too. • Apple Watch app: big buttons and readouts for the boxes you mark "Add to watch" in Dashboard, with alerts when a colour rule matches (for example one minute left). • Fills iPhone, iPad and foldable screens.
