Looking at purchasing a new system but i need to verify that floor plan view would be some how possible?

Large house many rooms, over 100 light switches. The plan is hang tablets on the walls to control the lighting, alarm and music.  I cannot imagine how a screen of buttons for each area will look like. 

 

I have looked online, I couldnt find much information about creating a floor plan view. If anyone has any suggestions or feedback would be amazing.

I use The Home Remote, interfaces to HC3 and basically you write your own app using the designer.. I have an iPad on the wall which is still a work in progress but what I have done so far works very nicely. I am not a programmer but learning as I go. The home remote has a fantastic forum and support network and the designer of the software responds to questions very fast.

    thats awesome but you are buying a hub HC3 for 500+ to start creating your own apps????? floor plan view seems like a standard feature nothing too crazy

    I am hearing you, there is no flexibility in the Fibaro app. For such a powerful system the app is very basic and look at the last beta, 6 or so weeks and still no fixes for the major items they broke and zero communication as to the rollout schedule.

    Maybe stick with the HC2 instead of 3? i am trying to figure out which hub to buy. I have the light switches wired. Music system connected.  Now what to use? 

     

    How does your interface look like from thehomeremote?

    If you want a all in one sollution, the fibaro is not the way to go.

    problem is my sound system is called acrylic which has a plugin made for fibaro. I dont want to make a profession out of connecting my smart home project. 

     

    Odd that with fibaro there isnt an easier solution for floor plan view.

    @Igor123That's exactly what I don't know about the Acrylic music system. But if it is about "Arylic" I have 2 information for you.
    1) VD is created directly for Arylic, so you only use it for HC2.
    2) if you are considering HC3, you can try to use my QA for iEast.

    I was surprised that the API is similar (almost identical).
