Release history

RoomCaddie 1.18.0

Latest

The phone remote and Touch Controls now work with Muni Golf and ShotForge.

  • Their buttons on the phone remote and Touch Controls. When you run Muni Golf or ShotForge, the phone remote and Touch Controls switch to that program's keys. Both have three pages: Play, Shot and View. Muni Golf's Play page has GSPro's buttons in the same places. ShotForge's Play page has GSPro's buttons except Scorecard, Club down and Club up, because ShotForge has no keys for those actions.
  • Muni Golf and ShotForge as your main program. The scan finds both programs. Each tile opens the program's own launcher. You press Play, and RoomCaddie brings the game to the front. You return to the home screen when you close the game.
  • Muni Golf's default keys. RoomCaddie uses Muni Golf's default keys, so keep them as Muni Golf set them.

RoomCaddie 1.17.0

RoomCaddie now works with Pureplay and with GSPro 4.0 wherever it is installed.

  • Pureplay's buttons on the phone remote and Touch Controls. Both switch to Pureplay's keys while Pureplay runs. Play keeps GSPro's buttons in the same places. Pureplay's other keys are grouped under Shot, View and Screen.
  • Pureplay as your main program. The scan finds Pureplay, and its tile opens Pureplay Launcher. When you press Play, RoomCaddie brings the game to the front. You return to the home screen when you close the game.
  • GSPro 4.0 in any folder. The League key, Touch Controls, the phone remote and the GSPro tile now find GSPro 4.0 even when it is installed in a new folder.
  • Clearer League key messages. When there is no scorecard on the screen, the League key now says "No scorecard on screen" instead of "GSPro isn't in front". If it can't read the scorecard, it tells you to press the key again and what to do if the problem continues.
  • The phone remote fits small phones. On a small phone, such as an iPhone SE, the Play page now fits above the page buttons for every golf program.

RoomCaddie 1.16.0

You can now use RoomCaddie with Infinite Tees and choose the screen RoomCaddie opens on.

  • Infinite Tees as your main program. The scan finds Infinite Tees. Tap its tile to open Infinite Tees' own launcher, then click Play. RoomCaddie brings the game to the front and returns to the home screen when you close it.
  • Programs that close with it. Add another program, such as your launch monitor's connector, to the Infinite Tees tile and choose Close it too.
  • Infinite Tees opens on its own screen. Infinite Tees opens on its saved screen, even when Windows renumbers your screens.
  • The phone remote and Touch Controls follow your sim. Their buttons use Infinite Tees' keys when it runs and switch back to GSPro's when GSPro runs. Hold an arrow to aim in Infinite Tees. This uses Infinite Tees' Side Screen.
  • A press brings your sim forward. If another window covers GSPro or Infinite Tees, pressing a button on the phone remote or Touch Controls brings the sim to the front, then presses the key.
  • RoomCaddie opens on the screen you choose. In Settings > Screens, choose a screen under RoomCaddie opens on. RoomCaddie moves there right away and opens there from then on.
  • Choose which screens show the theme. Under Theme on your other screens, tap the screens that show your room's theme.
  • Courses and League say which sim they work with. Both show a GSPro label. When you use Infinite Tees as your sim, each page says it doesn't work with Infinite Tees yet.

RoomCaddie 1.15.0

Helper switches let you start a helper program out of the way and close it when your game closes.

  • Start a helper out of the way. Choose Minimized under How it opens on a program's card in the editor. The program starts on the taskbar instead of in front of your game.
  • Close it with your game. Choose Close it too under When GSPro closes to close the program when GSPro closes. If the program was already open before you tapped the tile, it stays open.
  • Start fresh. Choose Close it and start fresh under If it's already open to close a helper that is still running and start it fresh.
  • Clearer choices for how a tile ends. The choices under What should the home screen do? now have plain names, with a line under each to explain it.
  • One start at a time. While one tile is starting, tapping another tile does nothing. Tap it again once the first tile has started.

RoomCaddie 1.14.0

Touch Controls gives you GSPro's buttons on a touchscreen at your PC.

  • Touch Controls. Turn it on in Settings > Screens and choose your touchscreen under Touch Controls opens on. Then add a Touch Controls tile with + Add tile. Tap the tile to fill your touchscreen with the buttons from the phone remote's four GSPro pages, Play, Shot, View and Pad. Each button presses GSPro's own key, and GSPro stays in front.
  • It runs on the PC alone. You can use Touch Controls without internet, a phone or the phone remote.
  • It follows GSPro. If GSPro is already running when you tap the tile, Touch Controls brings GSPro back to the front. Use the × to close Touch Controls, or it closes on its own when GSPro closes.
  • Taps on the wrong screen. If Windows sends your touchscreen's taps to another screen, you can find the one-time Windows fix in the Touch Controls chapter of the guide.

RoomCaddie 1.13.0

A tile made from a shortcut now opens what the shortcut opens, and the phone remote handles two phones and lost connections better.

  • A tile made from a shortcut now opens what the shortcut opens. You can pick a shortcut anywhere you browse for a program: Browse for a program…, Change program…, a sim's Browse row in Scan this PC, or the setup wizard. The tile keeps the shortcut's program, the instructions after it, and its window size, Maximized or Minimized. The box shows the program and its instructions before you add it. If the program has been renamed or moved, RoomCaddie finds it the same way Windows does when you double-click the shortcut. This includes shortcuts made by an installer.
  • Tiles you made before this version stay as they are. RoomCaddie can't tell which of these tiles came from a shortcut. If a tile opens a launcher instead of what your shortcut opens, press Change program… on that program and pick the shortcut. The tile keeps its name and picture.
  • What a shortcut tile doesn't copy. The tile starts the program in the program's own folder instead of the shortcut's "Start in" folder, and ignores the shortcut's "Run as administrator" box. Words such as %USERPROFILE% in the instructions are passed exactly as written.
  • Two phones and Drag. When one phone is dragging and another phone presses something, the first phone's Drag ends and it shows "Another phone pressed something."
  • The phone remote reconnects calmly. If the PC loses its connection to the phone remote's server, it waits longer between tries, up to 30 seconds, instead of trying every second.
  • Rooms with very many tiles. In a room with very many tiles, the phone's Tiles page now shows the tiles that fit instead of showing none.

RoomCaddie 1.12.0

You can now use your phone to control RoomCaddie and your PC, save your room's look and return to it later, and choose from 124 new signs.

  • The phone remote controls RoomCaddie and the PC. Use the switch at the top of the remote to choose Room or GSPro. In Room, Tiles lets you start any tile just as you do by tapping the room's screen, and opens folders on both the phone and the room's screen at the same time. PC gives you a touchpad with right-click, double-click, drag and scrolling, plus a keyboard, so you can work in any program. Use Power, under the tiles, to put the PC to sleep, restart it or shut it down. It asks you first. The GSPro pages, Play, Shot, View and Pad, work as before.
  • Saved Looks. In the editor, press Looks… to save your room's theme, logo, tile name positions and every tile's picture under a name. Press Switch on a saved look to use it again, and Undo to reverse the switch. What your tiles open never changes. You can save up to 25 looks per room, and every backup includes them.
  • 124 new signs. The Sign tab has two new signs for each theme, bringing the total to 168. Each sign shows the tile's name.
  • Clearer wording. The wording in the app, the User Guide, the site and the policies now uses the same words for the same things, with American spelling throughout.
  • Scan headings are easier to see. In Scan this PC, the headings Golf, Store apps, Programs and Steam games are larger and brighter, with a count beside each.
  • Picture tabs in a new order. The tabs in a tile's picture picker now read Color, Sign, Drawing, Pattern, Moving, Scene, Sticker, Icon, Your photo and App icon.

RoomCaddie 1.11.0

You can now find your installed programs in Scan this PC, show your room's name and logo on your other screens, and see when a tile's program needs administrator rights.

  • Scan this PC shows more. The list now has four sections: Golf, Store apps, Programs and Steam games. The box above the list narrows every section as you type. Programs lists the programs installed on the PC from A to Z, once each, leaving out parts of Windows, installers and uninstallers. If RoomCaddie recognizes a golf sim or launch monitor but can't find its program, you now see a row where you can choose the program yourself. The scan looks for GSPro on every hard drive, not only C:. The support info now shows how many programs the last scan found and names the ones it left out, never their folders.
  • Room name and logo on your other screens. Two new switches in Settings > Screens, Room name and Room logo, show your room's name in the middle of every other screen, in the theme's lettering, with the logo above it. Both switches are off until you turn them on.
  • Administrator rights in plain words. If a tile's program needs administrator rights, you now see a message explaining this and asking you to contact the program's maker for a version that runs without them. The Test button in setup shows the same message.
  • The phone remote on an iPad or tablet. The phone remote now grows to fill your iPad or tablet screen, whether you hold it upright or sideways. On a phone, it looks the same as before.

RoomCaddie 1.10.0

Your phone remote now has four pages of GSPro's keys, a touchpad for the PC's pointer and a Heat map button.

  • Four pages on the phone remote. Use the bar at the bottom of the phone remote to switch between Play, Shot, View and Pad. Shot and View have GSPro's shot, green and camera keys, and each button shows its GSPro key. Hold Fast-forward roll to keep GSPro's Space key down. A green flash on a button means RoomCaddie pressed the key.
  • Touchpad. On the Pad page, drag to move the PC's pointer and tap to click anywhere on the PC. Each phone keeps its own speed. GSPro's display and sound keys sit below the touchpad; hold Fullscreen for a second to press F11.
  • Heat map. Use the Heat map button on the Play page to press GSPro's Y key.
  • GSPro started by its launcher. If your tile starts GSPro with GSPLauncher.exe, RoomCaddie now brings GSPro to the front when it opens and returns to the home screen when GSPro closes. Tap again to bring GSPro to the front instead of starting the launcher again.
  • Make this the main program. The editor now shows this button only for a program RoomCaddie can watch, so saving it no longer fails. If "Leave it — carry on" is on for that program, the same press turns it off. Other golf programs RoomCaddie recognizes now show a message saying they can't be the main program yet.
  • Plain words when a tile can't save. If the editor can't save your tile because of its main program, it now explains why in plain words and tells you what to choose instead.

RoomCaddie 1.9.0

You get a phone remote for GSPro, a way to give every tile on a screen the same look in one press, a scan that finds the GSPro public beta and a Close button in the Guide.

  • Phone remote for GSPro. Switch it on in Settings > Phone remote, add the Phone remote tile and scan its code with your phone. Your phone's browser becomes a remote for mulligan, flyover, scorecard, club up and down, and aim. It stays off until you switch it on.
  • Use on every tile. To give every tile on the screen the same sign, pattern or color, including folder tiles, press Use on every tile on the Sign, Pattern or Color tab of a tile's Artwork sheet. RoomCaddie asks first and tells you what comes off. Tiles inside folders stay as they are, and Undo in the editor's status line puts every tile back.
  • GSPro public beta. RoomCaddie now finds both the GSPro public beta and the stable build. It lists each build it finds as GSPro or GSPro public beta. A tile made from the beta opens the beta, and you return to the home screen when it closes. Your existing tiles stay the same. To add the beta, add a tile in the editor and pick Scan this PC.
  • Close in the Guide. A Close button at the right end of the Guide's top bar takes you straight back to the page you opened the Guide from. ‹ Back and Esc still go back one page at a time.

RoomCaddie 1.8.1

You get 96 new drawn tile covers: 32 moving pictures, 32 signs and 32 patterns.

  • Moving. The Moving tab has 32 new moving pictures after the 24 from 1.8.0, for a total of 56. They move and stay still just like the others, and Keep moving tiles still in Settings > Screens keeps them still too.
  • Signs. The Sign tab has 32 new signs after the 12 from 1.8.0, for a total of 44. Each new sign uses the tile's name as its artwork and shows "Return to" and the tile's name while a program monitored by RoomCaddie is open.
  • Patterns. The Pattern tab has 32 new patterns after the 12 from 1.8.0, for a total of 44. Each pattern keeps its own colors in every theme.

RoomCaddie 1.8.0

You get 216 drawn tile covers, your room's theme on your other screens, and a User Guide with sections you can open and close.

  • Tile covers. The Artwork sheet has five new tabs with 84 stickers, 84 drawings, 24 moving pictures, 12 signs and 12 patterns. The tabs now run down the side of the sheet. Stickers, drawings, moving pictures and patterns keep their own colors in every theme, and stickers sit on the tile's color.
  • Signs. A sign uses the tile's name as its artwork, so the tile shows no separate name. When you rename the tile, the sign shows the new name. The sign reads "Return to" and the tile's name while a program monitored by RoomCaddie is open.
  • Moving tiles. A moving picture moves while the home screen is in front. It stays still while a program starts, while a program is in front of the home screen and while the idle screen is showing. To keep every moving tile still, turn on Keep moving tiles still in Settings > Screens.
  • Your theme on your other screens. If you use two or more screens, every screen except the main display shows your room's theme behind your programs, never over them. This is on by default, including in rooms set up before 1.8.0. Desktop icons on those screens stay hidden while RoomCaddie is open and return when you minimize or exit RoomCaddie. To keep the Windows desktop on those screens, turn off Theme on your other screens in Settings > Screens.
  • A Guide that folds. In Settings > Help > Guide, each chapter opens with a summary and all its sections closed. Tap a section to open it, and keep as many open as you like. A search result opens only the section it found, and when you go back, the chapter is as you left it. You can open and close sections the same way on the guide and FAQ pages on roomcaddie.com.
  • Fix. When RoomCaddie can't read a program's icon, the line on the App icon tab now names the artwork the tile keeps immediately after each choice. Previously, it named the old artwork until you closed and reopened the sheet.

RoomCaddie 1.7.2

You get 28 new themes, Settings groups you can open and close, and league scores on 9-hole courses.

  • 28 new themes. Twelve scene themes are added to Golf, Sports and two new groups, Kids and Adventure. Of the sixteen themes with a clean design, fifteen form the new Modern group and one, Course Contours, joins Golf.
  • No empty name sign. When the room name is empty, no theme shows a blank sign, plaque or underline.
  • League rounds on 9-hole courses. On a 9-hole GSPro course, Ctrl+Alt+L used to show "Couldn't read clearly". It now reads the card, finds the course and saves the round. The Leagues chapter explains league rounds.
  • Settings that fold. Each group in Settings starts as a single line that describes what is inside; tap the line to open or close the group. Restart or exit always stays open.
  • Slide switches. Idle screen, League standings and Start with Windows now use slide switches. The idle screen's switch turns it on and off, and tapping the rest of its line opens or closes its settings.
  • Backup times. The Backups list now shows each backup's time using your PC's local time instead of UTC.
  • Clearer words. The key screen now tells you when RoomCaddie checks your key: when it starts, once a week and on the first start after an update. When you add a tile from a template, you now see a message telling you to start it once from Home to check that it opens.
  • Fixes. You can now see the idle screen's clock and message in Aurora Glass and Brushed Metal; they had been invisible in those two themes since 1.5.0. A long room name now stays on the screen. The idle screen makes it smaller to fit on one line, and the home screen and editor wrap a very long word.

RoomCaddie 1.7.1

You can now read the User Guide inside RoomCaddie. Press "?" on any screen to learn how that screen works.

  • The User Guide, inside the app. Settings > Help > Guide replaces Help & FAQ and includes every User Guide chapter and the FAQ, with one search for both. The guide is part of RoomCaddie, so you do not need an internet connection to read it.
  • "?" on every screen. Home, the editor, Courses, League, the setup wizard and each Settings group have a "?". Select it to open the chapter for that screen. If more than one chapter covers the screen, you can choose one or open the full guide.
  • Idle screen. The idle screen menu is now Settings > Idle screen, and its group in the icon gallery is now Idle. Your idle screen settings have not changed.
  • Restoring over a damaged room. If RoomCaddie cannot read your saved room when you restore a snapshot or a backup file, it first saves the damaged file in the room's Backups folder. The message tells you where it saved the file.
  • Changing the key. If the store does not confirm that this PC's place on the old key was given back, the message now tells you. It also explains how to reach support if you need that place for another PC.
  • The same guide on the web. You can also read every chapter at roomcaddie.com/guide.
  • Privacy policy 1.8. The policy now names the damaged room file, which leaves your PC only if you send it. It also says that key and update checks run each time RoomCaddie checks for updates. What RoomCaddie sends automatically has not changed.

RoomCaddie 1.7.0

House League: run your own golf leagues on your sim. One key at GSPro's final scorecard saves the round, and the standings keep themselves.

  • Leagues. The editor's League button opens the League page. Add up to 8 players as GSPro shows their names, pick average or points, the rounds a week, and how the season ends. Standings show gross and net, with each player's handicap.
  • Saving a round. With GSPro in front, Ctrl+Alt+L (Ctrl+Alt+K when another program has taken it) grabs the final scorecard. A small box over GSPro shows what was read; Enter saves it and hands the keyboard back to GSPro. A card that can't be read clearly is never guessed: the box asks you to press the key again. The same card saved twice says "Already saved".
  • Every round keeps its picture. Tap a round on the League page to see its scorecard full screen. A round can be voided (and unvoided); it stays visible with its picture.
  • Standings on Home. Add tile has a new card, League standings. The tile shows the league's name; a tap shows that league's standings full screen, read-only. An ended league shows its final table.
  • Standings on the idle screen. Settings > Idle screen can show one league's standings beside the welcome line, the clock and the date.
  • Safe keeping. RoomCaddie keeps a copy of your leagues each day for 7 days. If the league file can't be read, it restores the newest good copy by itself and the League page tells you which day it came from.
  • Settings, regrouped. Related settings now sit together, with the idle screen first and Restart or exit last. Every setting is still there.
  • Privacy policy 1.7. It now says what the League key reads (one picture of GSPro's final scorecard, read on this PC) and what leagues keep on the PC. Nothing RoomCaddie sends changed.

RoomCaddie 1.6.2

A new kind of tile that only tells your smart home something, like a GOODNIGHT tile that runs your Home Assistant automation and never leaves Home.

  • Tiles that only send a signal. Add tile now has a third card, "Sends a smart-home signal", once Settings > Smart home has a connection. Name the tile, add a note your automation can read, pick the connection if you have more than one, and save it. A tap sends "tile.pressed" with the tile's name and note, without launching another program, and the home screen stays put.
  • A mark on the tile. A tap pulses at once, then shows a green check when your smart home answers or a red mark when it doesn't, for about 3 seconds. A tap while it is sending or showing its mark is ignored. Every send is still in Settings > Smart home's recent list.
  • Removing a connection that tiles use. Settings > Smart home names every tile that uses it before it goes. A tile that only sends to it stays on the home screen and shows the red mark when tapped, until you pick a new connection for it in the editor. A program tile stops sending its signal and still launches.
  • Update checks. Besides the weekly check, RoomCaddie checks for an update at the first start after an update and when setup finishes. A check put off because a program was running runs once it ends.
  • A wording fix. A new tile's draft says "On the Home screen" (it said "Home screen screen").

RoomCaddie 1.6.1

Nine new themes for golf, football and Halloween in a smaller picker, Home tiles that rise and glow under the mouse, and on the Courses page you can remove a tag you made and flip any sort.

  • Nine new themes. Yardage Book and Night Range for golf; Gridiron, Playbook and Pigskin for football; Jack-o'-Lantern, Boo!, Witching Hour and Haunted House for Halloween. Thirty-four in all.
  • A smaller theme picker. In the editor and the setup wizard, a row of groups (Golf, Sports, Holidays, Movie night, Lounge, Retro, Classic) shows one group's themes at a time. It opens on the group of the theme you have.
  • Tiles that answer the mouse. On Home and the screens under it, a tile rises a little and glows in the theme's color while the mouse is on it, and dips when pressed. A touchscreen shows the press only; with Windows' Animation effects off, the glow shows without the movement. Cinema and Aurora Glass use the same glow instead of their own. The editor stays still.
  • Remove a tag you made. On the Courses page, Edit tags (beside + Your own tag) puts an × on the tags you made; tap one to remove it. A tag that is on courses asks first, then comes off every course that had it. The eleven starter tags stay.
  • Flip a sort. Tap the sort you are on again to run it the other way; an arrow on it shows which way. The page still opens at Size, biggest first, and remembers nothing between visits.
  • License agreement 1.1. An installer we have approved may now install RoomCaddie in a client's room (sections 2, 3, 4 and 15). No other term changed.
  • Help is up to date. The Help screen now counts thirty-four themes.

RoomCaddie 1.6.0

A Courses page shows every GSPro course on this PC with its size and last round started, keeps your own stars, notes and tags, and deletes several courses at once.

  • Courses in the editor. The edit bar has Courses... beside Settings.... The page lists every course in GSPro's courses folder, found through GSPro's own log, with its name, designer, location and size, and the space left on the drive.
  • Last round started. Each course shows the date a round was last started on it, from GSPro's own round history on this PC, or None recorded. The page says where that history starts. If the history can't be read, dates show Unavailable and everything else still works.
  • Sort, find and filter. Sort by size, last round started, name or stars; find a course by name; filter by a tag or by None recorded. Your library, on the right, shows the total, the courses with no round started, and your ten biggest.
  • Stars, a note and tags. Tap a course for 1 to 5 stars, a short note and tags: eleven to start, from Easy to Tour stop, plus your own. Every tag shows under the course's name. They stay when a course is deleted and come back if you download it again.
  • Delete several at once. Tick the courses, then Delete; one confirmation names each course and the space it frees. Courses still offered in GSPro can be downloaded again there; some, like ones from a private server, may not be.
  • Checked as it goes. Delete waits until GSPro and its launcher are closed, and checks again before each course. Every folder is read back; one that is not fully gone stays on the list with what is left, ready to try again.
  • GSPro's own things are safe. Delete removes the course folder only, never GSPro's history, settings or the Registry; GSPro drops the course from its list the next time it starts. GSPro's practice area and multi range are listed but never deleted.
  • Courses kept somewhere else. Change folder... picks the folder that holds your courses; Use GSPro's own folder goes back.
  • Help is up to date. The Help screen now covers the room logo, the power button and all twenty-five themes.
  • Privacy policy 1.4. It now says what the Courses page reads (GSPro's course folders and the dates rounds were started) and what it deletes (only the courses you choose). It also names our web host and the start-up entry. Nothing RoomCaddie sends changed.

RoomCaddie 1.5.0

Your room can wear its own logo, a power button on the home screen shuts down, restarts or sleeps the PC, and fifteen new themes bring the looks to twenty-five.

  • A room logo. The editor has a Room logo row under Room name. Your own logo... takes a picture file from your PC (PNG, JPG, WebP or BMP, up to 20 MB, a still picture) and the room wears it on the home screen and the idle screen; Change... swaps it, Remove takes it off.
  • Where and how big. Four placements: above the room's name, in place of it, behind it as a faint watermark, or at the center of the screen behind everything. Five sizes from Small to Extra large; Huge is offered at the center only.
  • Your backups carry it. A backup made with a logo restores with the logo; an older backup restores with no logo, as it was.
  • If the file goes missing. The screens show the room's name as before and the Room logo row says so, with Your own logo... to set it again.
  • A power button on Home. Top right, beside minimize. Shut down and Restart ask once more before they go; Sleep and Exit to Windows act at once. Sleep shows only when Windows says this PC can sleep.
  • Programs close politely first. Before Shut down or Restart, each program RoomCaddie started is asked to close and given 5 seconds. One still open is named, with Show (to answer its own question), Cancel, or Shut down anyway. Windows closes everything else the way it always does.
  • If Windows says no. RoomCaddie comes back to the front with a plain message and Try again.
  • Restart comes back to RoomCaddie. With Start with Windows on, RoomCaddie opens again by itself after the restart. Turning Start with Windows on also switches RoomCaddie on in Windows' own Startup apps list, and a save says so if Windows refuses.
  • Smart home at shut down. Shutting down or restarting, from RoomCaddie or the Start menu, sends your smart home connections the same signals as Exit: the On end of a tile still running, and RoomCaddie exits.
  • Fifteen new themes. Pit Lane, Topo Map, Drive-In, Admit One, Vinyl Lounge, Green Phosphor, Blueprint, Ski Lodge, Tiki Bar, The Study, Deep Sea, Comic Book, Atomic Age, Observatory and Corkboard join the ten you know; both pickers show all twenty-five.
  • The editor keeps its place. Picking a theme no longer jumps the editor back to the top.
  • One tile look retired. One look in the tile picker never showed art of its own; it is gone, and a tile that used it shows the default look.

RoomCaddie 1.4.0

RoomCaddie can now tell Home Assistant, or any web address, when a tile starts or ends and when the room starts, goes idle, wakes or exits, so your lights and gear follow the room.

  • Settings > Smart home. Add Home Assistant (its address and a webhook id) or any web address (GET or POST), press Test, and read the answer in plain words. Each connection can also hear the room's own events: started, idle screen on, idle screen off, RoomCaddie exits.
  • Tile signals. Every activity tile has a Smart home row under its steps: On start, On end (with the minutes it ran), and an optional note. The same signal shows as a step in the tile's list, so you can move it and put a wait after it.
  • Never a delay. A signal goes out alongside the launch; the program starts the same instant. A hub that does not answer gets one retry and is reported afterwards, under the clock on the home screen, never during the activity. Settings shows the last answer per connection and the last 20 signals.
  • Your network only, by default. Addresses on the internet need a tick; the webhook id and the URL are hidden like a password after Save and never leave your PC in support info.
  • A guide page. roomcaddie.com/smart-home walks through the Home Assistant automation step by step; the same page opens from the Settings row.

RoomCaddie 1.3.0

RoomCaddie now tells you on the home screen when a newer version is ready, and shows what changed the first time it opens after an update.

  • A notice on the home screen when a newer version is ready. It names the version, says in a few lines what changed, and has two buttons: Get it opens the download page in your browser; Not now hides that version's notice until a newer one comes. Nothing downloads or installs by itself.
  • Behind by more than one? The notice says how many updates are waiting since your version.
  • An "Update successful" card the first time RoomCaddie opens after an update. It lists everything that changed in every version you skipped, newest first. Got it closes it; it shows once.
  • Settings > Updates shows the same lines under the newer version's link.

RoomCaddie 1.2.9

Every program on the screen you pick.

  • Each program opens on the screen you choose. In the tile editor every step has Which screen. RoomCaddie moves the program there and keeps it there. Drag it somewhere by hand and it stays where you put it until it closes.
  • A screen that's off doesn't lose the program. It opens on the main display with a note, and moves back the moment that screen comes back.
  • Programs RoomCaddie doesn't start can have a screen too. Settings > Screens > Add - a launch monitor's own program, a startup app.
  • Identify screens shows every screen's number for 5 seconds.
  • A program that can't start is refused before Windows puts its error box on the room screen.
  • Removing RoomCaddie with "delete my data" now removes the room and its browser profile too.

RoomCaddie 1.1.4

Signed, and a program that is already open now comes forward.

  • RoomCaddie is signed by Exit 2 Software LLC. Windows can now tell you who made it. Check that name on the blue screen at install.
  • Tapping a program that is already open brings it forward. It used to tell you the program was already running and leave you to Alt-Tab to it yourself.
