Third Party Support
for Sophisticated Products


Our products are designed to take advantage of the power of Mac OS. Features such as Apple Events and AppleScript allow our products to work with the system and with third-party applications. This page lists third-party applications which utilize these abilities in a variety of ways.

PowerKey Pro Model 200 and Model 600 are fully scriptable, allowing other applications to run events and switch outlets. With the addition of the Server Restart Option (included free with the Model 600), server applications can support PowerKey's crash restart abilities.

Rebound! also has the ability to monitor servers for crashes. Server applications can "check in" with Rebound! to let it know when they're running correctly. As with PowerKey Pro, Rebound! can monitor these applications and restart the system if one of them fails.

We offer a free Software Developer's Kit which gives you all you need to support PowerKey Pro and Rebound! in your applications. It includes sample AppleScripts, Frontier scripts and C code for controlling PowerKey Pro outlets and events, and complete documentation on supporting application crash detection. You can download it from our Software Library.
