Square Connect today released the first version of their SQ Desigenr application. This is an Adobe AIR application that runs on Mac OS X as well as Windows machines. Users will need to download and install the free Adobe AIR runtime environment.

SQ Designer allows users to create their user interface with an intuitive control pad and panel editor, with all the built-in options to make this simple and quick such as drag-and-drop, snap-to-grid, align, auto-distribute, cut and paste and more.

The application allows much more than just editing control pads, it also integrates with Box.net allowing direct import and export of saved confgurations so running a newly edited control configuration is just a few mouse click and screen taps away.

• Add Icons to Lists: Drag and drop icons into your control lists, and then export the icon files directly to Box.net ready to import into SQ Remote.
• Macros: Create Macros and test them within SQ Designer.
• Create control panel templates and librarioes of macros and command lists for simple createion of new confgrations or to create configurations for other users.

Based in Pleasanton, California, Square Connect challenges the idea that home control needs to be expensive and complex to set up San Jose and maintain. Their goal is to create simple, low-cost home control solutions by putting intuitive control apps on users' existing smartphones and tablets to control all of the devices found within the modern home.
