Good Evening!
Ones again I seek your advice on getting me a step closer to a fully wife-accepted-solution.
I have the all security sensors on Elk-M1 and lighting is all on ISY994i but I have not made the connection between the two through the ISY module. I have not seen the need yet.
In addition I have security cameras (all are Dahua and Hivision IP cams) through a NVR from Nelly Security which I like. This system is also separate but tied into the TV and some standalone cheap android tablets that are always on.
The wife starts appreciating all the little gadgets but only uses the key pad (no display) for the Elk (M1KPAS) to arm/disarm and the 8 button switch from Insteon that I have programmed with various scenes for her. The audio is all through the Yamaha web interface which is sufficient and working well, no need to tie this in but nice to have. She is quite happy so far. She asked me if she can have all of this on her iPad in one convenient app.
I found the Iggyhead remote program but it does ISY and TV well but no Elk security. I have the INTELLIhome app which does a good job for her to show what is on/off but no ELK inputs at this point and no cameras. I am thinking that I can solve these via Elk/ISY interface and variables but I am not sure. I would need some pointers here before I purchase the module and start messing with it.
I looked at some of the "touchscreen" interfaces that you guys posted here and I think this is where I need to go.
The desired outcome is that she can pick up her iPad and instantly sees the status of all sensors & lights and can choose a camera that points in the area of interest.
Must have:
I keep seeing eKeypad praised but I am not sure yet as these posts are generally older.
What is out there right now? Do I need to get the Elk/ISY interface module?
This would be the icing on the cake if I can pull this off!
"Hey honey, look, I build you this app for Valentines...."

Must have:
- Works on iPad
- has the lighting and Elk in one interface with nice backdrop picture that shows color changes based on condition/status
- multiple screen (house, workshop, barn)
- camera view and selection
- Audio tie in directly via Web interface of Yamaha or GlobalCache infrared
- TV Remote
