Intelligent Modules
What is an
Intelligent Module
?
Symetrix Intelligent Modules expand the capabilities of a Composer site with customizable control of third-party devices and powerful manipulation of control data within a design. Like any other module within Composer, Intelligent Modules are easy to use and can be created by the system designer or imported from our library of premade solutions.
Comprised of a custom control view and a script written in Lua, users interact with the controls to trigger functionality in the script. The script can communicate with a third-party piece of hardware via TCP, UDP or HTTP, allowing a user to monitor and control that hardware. Intelligent Modules can also interact with other modules in a design through input and output control pins.
What exactly do Intelligent Modules do?
Almost anything. Intelligent Modules are most often used to control third-party hardware allowing any product to feel like a native device within the Symetrix ecosystem. They can also be used to solve complicated logic problems delivering almost any functionality you can imagine.
Here are some examples of just a few Intelligent Modules we’ve created and that are available for free download.
Example Use Cases for an Intelligent Module:
- Camera Control Programming
- Media Manager Remote Control
