Introducing RedEye Pro and RedEye, gen2

RedEye Pro with RedEye gen2
RedEye Pro goes beyond the home theater control of our original RedEye and allows you to manage a wide variety of equipment, including lighting and security systems, HVAC, pumps and sprinklers, and more. Of course RedEye Pro still lets you use whatever device you have handy as a controller, whether it be a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet.

Designed with input from some of the custom home installation industry’s leading professionals, RedEye Pro offers extensive customization tools for installers.

RedEye Pro comes equipped with:

  • Eight (8) dual-purpose 3.5mm infrared emitter/contact closure sensor ports
  • Four (4) contact closure relays
  • Two (2) RS-232 ports
  • Four (4) USB ports
  • 10/100 Ethernet (via RJ45 with an internal switch)
  • 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi

RedEye Pro is available exclusively through authorized dealers and custom integrators. Visit http://thinkflood.com/products/redeye-pro/ for more information.

Special offer for current RedEye customers:

We appreciate that some of you who have been with us from the very beginning may be interested in RedEye Pro. During the month of April we are offering a loyalty trade-in program for customers who purchased a RedEye from our website prior to April 1, 2011. For details about the trade-in program, please contact sales@thinkflood.com or call +1 617-299-2000, option 2.

The original RedEye now in its second generation

We’ve updated the original, award-winning RedEye. The gen2 unit features a sleek, all-black enclosure with back-lit logo, but the real improvement is the addition of a 3.5mm (1/8") infrared-out port, which provides more flexibility for customers who keep their components in a cabinet or rack. RedEye gen2 is available today for $199.

RedEye app v2.5.0 available in iTunes

Apple approved v2.5.0 of the RedEye app on March 30. This update not only provides support for the new gen2 RedEye and RedEye Pro hardware, but it also brings some major advances to existing RedEye customers:

  • Powerful scripting engine for advanced customization
  • Easy to use scripting templates and integrated development environment
  • Activity buttons can now launch other activities
  • Spanish and Italian language support
  • Complete VoiceOver accessibility throughout the application

As part of this update there is a data conversion process. If you have not done so in the past, we recommend that our WiFi RedEye customers make a backup of your configuration first. If you do run into trouble with the update, we can help. Please send an email to support@thinkflood.com. And if you can send along your backup file at this time, we can help even faster.

For more information on this software update, please visit the v2.5.0 Release Notes page on our website. Click here to download the update.

RedEye mini app — version 1.0.0

RedEye mini gets its own app

Looking to use the mini to control just one or two devices? We’re happy to announce that RedEye mini owners can now choose from original activity-based RedEye app or a new device-based app. The RedEye mini app is small enough to download over a mobile network, and making RedEye mini more portable than ever.

RedEye mini app

The RedEye mini application still includes many of the robust features offered in the full RedEye application including a full-color channel guide (US, Canada, UK, and Ireland, with more countries to follow soon) and a database of 70,000 infrared control codes.

Download the RedEye mini app from iTunes.

Channel guide available in the UK, coming to Scandinavia

Great news for our customers in the UK and Ireland — the RedEye and RedEye mini apps now give you access to local channel guide data for your region. Our colorful, hi-resolution channel guide includes information and program descriptions with details for all broadcast, satellite/cable networks and local stations. And our customers in Scandinavia can look forward to a channel guide soon (we need to make a couple of adjustments to the RedEye app first).

RedEye is the universal remote control system with a fully-integrated channel guide in all the following countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Soon this list will include Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Poland, and Turkey, and we are working on even more countries after that.

Channel guide features:

  • A full, two-day program guide, with color network icons and show descriptions.
  • The option to create a favorite channels list to avoid scrolling around all day.
  • Assign a TV-watching activity, and RedEye will automatically change channels when you select a program in the guide.
  • Preview detailed episode descriptions, including cast and crew data, closed-captioning information, and more.
