I'm trying to create a control system in my apartment to control all the devices I have, for example, to turn them on and off using the mobile application, but without using the internet.
I already have the control panel which is connected to all these devices with an on and off switch.
is there any way through the mobile app I can have control over these devices without the need for the internet?

I already had an Java application that is downloaded as part of java applets from the web page, that can interact with the USB Storage device where it need to save and retrieve data from the device.
Since the chrome has stopped supporting out of sandbox running applets, I need to develop some new technique to interact with the USB Storage Device from my web page. My application architect does not want to achieve same using JNLP which is one options that I have learnt by reading some articles.
Now I would like you peoples to help me on build some applications, so that I can use the same in my webpage to access USB storage device(Pen drive) independent of OS (Operating System) and Independent of Browser(Cross browser support-mostly should work on IE, firefox , chrome and safari).
I am ok with application build on native (OS dependent), but should be there a way to communicate with that application from any browsers installed over that machine.
I have a windows 8 computer that i use as an access point using connectify as the hotspot software. I want to control my clients by blocking and allowing some of their applications, such as skype or any other applications accessing the Internet. I wanted to know if there is a way i can do it using vb.net - something like blocking applications by application name.
I am developing metro style app which should read data from external device using serial communication but unfortunately metro apps does not support "Serial and parallel port API ". So i thought to use hyperterminal to read data from serial port and use it in my metro application. Is there any way to access data directly from hyperterminal using c# in metro style app? If no is there any other way to access data from serial port in metro style app?
You cannot make this work with Hyperterminal either. The sandbox in which Store apps operate explicitly defeats any attempt a Store app might make to use a inter-process communication mechanism.
Do ask yourself if it makes sense to publish such an application in the Store. The odds that a user that visits the store will have the required hardware to make your app useful are extremely slim. These kind of apps will stay desktop apps for a long time to come. If the manufacturer of the device sees a market opportunity to get his device operating in store apps then he'll create a Store compatible driver for it. But that's up to them, you cannot do this yourself.
We are several people (in different cities) developing on titanium. We have only one device to check how the application works on a real device.
Can we share somehow one device to check how application works on a real device?
The idea is to have one PC with remote access and Titanium running with connected git\mercurial repositories. Android device connected to this PC by USB. The user connects by Remote Control to the PC, pulls data from repository and runs application on the device.
The problem that we have is how to get access to screen of the Android device on the PC to control it.
Does someone have an idea how it could be organized?
This link (http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/) says it will help, but it has limitations. I guess this solution would make sense if you are doing most of the testing on the local emulator and the physical device is a final check for functionality.
In my office I have 10 WiFi routers.I want to list all those(similar to Network icon in the system tray on windows 8) and connect/disconnect to one of them through Win Rt.
I tried these API
Windows::Networking::Connectivity::NetworkInformation::GetLanIdentifiers();
Windows::Networking::Connectivity::NetworkInformation::GetConnectionProfiles();
NetworkInformation::GetInternetConnectionProfile();
but these Api only list connected one, it doesn't list others
I can achieve this using http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms706716(v=vs.85).aspx. But I am not sure this Api will be supported on Windows 8 metro mode.
Does WinRt provides Api support for this ??
You cannot connect/disconnect to a network from a Windows App. You can only check informations. The reason is (for Microsoft) that the connection manager is accessible from your app through the charms bar.
This functionality is not exposed to Metro style applications. An operator's app can create profiles for their networks (with known SSIDs), but listing and connecting to visible networks is controlled by the user via the Windows connection management UI, not by an application. [Mike Bishop [MSFT], here]
The advanced connectivity functionnalities are present in Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators, which functionalities are only available to mobile operator apps and Windows Store apps given privileged access by mobile network operators.
Take a look at the Microsoft's Network information sample which shows what you can achieve with this API.
