HMI Droid - Odrid HMI
The origin of the HMI Droid was used in the industry for several years before the work to adapt it to tablets and
smartphones began. Late in 2013 the application was finally released on Google Play with confidence that it would be a smart
and solid application for both professional use and for the home engineer.
The application is appreciated and sold all over the world. We are happy to daily receive feedback from customers telling us that the application exceeds their expectations. Development is continuously ongoing in line with customer requests and the urge for it to remain a secure and solid tool and to deliver the best support.
Happy New Year! Best wishes to all!

has potential for improvement. Still a good app. After the developer contacted me, I also tested the
connection status system variables. Everything works fine. Now there should be a simple drawing tool for
circles, squares, lines, etc. for HMI Droid Studio.

2016-06-17: Review for the iOS-version of HMI Droid (Odrid HMI)
"Over the last 4 years I was using SCADA apps to control my house via our iPhones and iPads. I have used some apps for that, starting with MODBUS GEM and then continuing with HMI Draw/View after MODBUS GEM has been discontinued.As the author of these apps got ill and is not able to maintain them anymore I was forced to look for an alternative before a major iOS update (11) renders my control inoperative. With >300 data points I was looking for a solution which fulfills these requirements:
- The ability to design a nice interface which can be used by the whole family
- MODBUS/TCP communication
- Easy creation/configuration, preferred on the PC. HMI Draw was nice, but creating pages on the iPad was painful and slow
- Must run on iPhone and iPad
- A reasonable price tag. Many apps charges per data point, and I can't afford several hundreds Euros just for private use with >300 data tags
- The app should be maintained and not be 2 years since the last update ;-)
I found all this in Odrid HMI. The creation of the pages is absolutely easy with a PC app, the price is sensational and if you need support or have questions, Jan replies usually within a few hours. Also suggestions to improve things are always welcome. I created the pages for my house within half a day and it's working like a charm. I can highly recommend this app!"

"This is a very simple and highly effective HMI for iOS. I looked for years for something simple, quick to setup, and cost effective. So far, this is the best. Very reliable communications drivers. For the price, there is enough functionality. The support is immediate and accommodating. I needed an enhancement done to the scaling routine and it was ready and released in a couple of weeks. I am using this app to allow operators and maintenance people to remotely read a critical water tank level and backup power IO for a small town public water system."2016-05-08/2016-05-12: Crashes in iOS-version
There has been some crashes on (11/4,) 20/4, 21/4 and 4/5.The most crashes has occured on iPhones (iOS 9.3?) and with version 1.0.3 of the app.
