Hello, everyone!  
Can I use Ignition software for personal purposes at home? I'm interested in using it to control my 3D printers. Also, is there an Android version available?  
I will be grateful for your help!

For personal use you can get a license for Makers Edition. Which gives you the majority of functionality though the gateway needs internet access I believe. I believe you can use the perspective mobile app with it as well. Now you've got me thinking on what data I could pull into it from my printers haha.

Thank you for the information.  
I hadn't considered using Ignition to manage my bills before, but this is an interesting idea. 👍 I'll definitely give it a try
