Do ELO Displays Work With Third-Party Software?

Universal Compatibility

ELO’s Android and Windows systems are open-platform. That means you can install any software written for those OS versions, POS apps, signage players, or industry tools.
The ELO Backpack 5 and I-Series 4 run standard Android (customized for stability), while ELO Touch Monitors can connect to any external PC running Windows, Linux, or macOS.

Touch Drivers and SDKs

For Windows, ELO provides multi-touch HID-compliant drivers, which work automatically in most apps.
For Android, touch integration is native, no additional configuration needed. Developers can also access ELO’s SDK for advanced functions like:

• Edge Connect module control (scanners, readers)

• Screen brightness automation

• Remote content management via ELOView APIs

Tested Software Types

Developer Tips

• Always test touch calibration inside your target app.

• Lock screens into kiosk mode to prevent OS exit.

• For custom builds, reference ELO’s Android Open Source Project (AOSP) compatibility list.

Case Example

A hotel group integrated ELO 2202L Monitors with custom check-in software built in React. After using ELO’s Windows SDK, they achieved precise 10-point multi-touch without lag across 120 devices.

Final Thoughts

ELO products aren’t closed systems, they’re open, flexible, and built to integrate.
Whether you’re using off-the-shelf apps or developing in-house tools, ELO hardware supports your ecosystem with minimal setup.
