Getting Graphic with Louis Laurents: Part Deux

from It's a Controls Problem · host Hawaiian Pizza Please Productions

In our latest episode we catch up with a guest from last season, BASGFX.com automation graphics guru Louis Laurents. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you stop treating building automation like a backend chore and start looking at it through the lens of high-end user experience. Louis has been at the forefront of that shift, and having him back on the show feels like a masterclass in what’s possible when you stop settling for the status quo in N4 graphics.In this episode, we move past the high-level theory and get our hands dirty with a live demonstration. We walk through the actual workflow of loading custom graphics into Niagara 4, touch on some what-not-to-dos while navigating through the "feature" rich platform. It’s easy to make a graphic look good in a vacuum; it’s much harder to make it functional, scalable, and responsive within the Niagara framework.Visit our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@a_controls_problem for an instructional segment only version. And feel free to ask questions on either platform!
