MATRIC looks very interesting. Quite a bit more flexible than Stream Deck.

It's got knobs, sliders, joypads...

@Scott: Thanks for the link

Looks really nice & promising.

I played around with it a bit today. Design and layout options are very very good. Much more extensive than Streamdeck. However, when it comes to actions, it looks rather poor.

The focus seems to be on keyboard macros / mouse actions.
Predefined actions (like for YT or Voicemeeter in Streamdeck) are missing.

Just found this https://www.touch-portal.com/ and playing around a bit.

Will try it out...

Ernst: how much money do they want for all of the upgrade features?

~13,99 EUR for lifetime licence. Just bought it.

Will play around and give feedback soon.

Ok, here a quick test result for "Touch Portal"

pro:
- runs on old devices (android, ios)
- pc software is very intuitive
- way more flexible then streamdeck
- macros, if then else, loops
- events (also global)
- variables (can be set global and used in buttons or reverse)
- button can be spanned over the grid, ie. one button 1x1, another button 2x1
- max buttons per page 15 x 7
- plugins available for voicemeeter, obs, ....
- can listen to filechanges, read textfile-content into variable
- buttons can listen to global events
- tons of icon-packs
- background can be customized for each page (color, image, ...)
- can be switched to fullscreen on the device
- device can be connected via wifi or usb (android only)

cons:
- nothing found so far

I already cancelled my subscription for streamdeck mobile

Ernst,

What paid-for options did you find necessary?

Does it have the built-in capability to send strings to COM or IP ports?

73,

Scott

The free version is not really usable ... at least for us
It is very limited.. very very

But since the 13,99 EUR is not a subscription but a lifetime licence, thats absolute ok for me.

I didn't find a action to send data to COM or ip ports. So this must be done via batch-file or powershell script.

Below some screenshots.

Interesting, i am using the app of streamdeck, and I see that all the .bat files with CAT commands are all usable.
the license is only for a device? ej. only for one tablet or mobile phone ?

Thanks, 73 Jesus



EDIT: mmm I can't see IOS or osx versions...

I don't think so. Normally its "connected" with the Google Account or the Apple ID....

from the webiste:
The Pro upgrade can be bought in the Playstore for Android or in the Appstore for iOS. It is linked to your account and can be used on all devices where that account is linked. In the mobile app, click on the cart icon (Android) or go to the settings (iOS) to buy the Pro Upgrade. The Pro Upgrade is a one-time payment for a life-time license.

The purchase is however, linked to the specific store (and the account used to buy the upgrade). The license is not transferable from Android to iOS or the vice versa. Both Apple and Google do not allow this even if we could make this technically happen, doing so would mean that our app would not be accepted in the store. If you have a devices of both platforms and you want to use them both with Touch Portal, you need to buy a license for both platforms.
