About HomeToucher
HomeToucher is a VNC client (remote terminal) optimized for controlling a specific application (for example, home automation terminal) rather than the desktop of a remote computer.
It uses Bonjour protocol to automatically find a service that will assign and configure the correct VNC server. Hometoucher automatically reconnects to the server if the connection is broken (for example, if you turned off your iPad or iPhone). It will allow the server to adapt the screen size to the device size (so the remote screen size matches perfectly with the device screen size)
Technical details are described in the application's web site

HomeTouch Remote caches HomeTouch Remote manager service addresses. This allow HomeTouch remote to find the service in cases that Bonjour broadcasting is not available (for example, when connecting from a different subnet, quite common when using VPN)
Fixed bugs when multiple HomeTouch Remote manager servers exist on the same LAN. You can see a list of the available manager services by touching the screen with three fingers for more than 3 seconds.
