  Now I have one AMX NI sharing between 2 rooms. Both rooms have very similar configurations. And there are 2 TPs, both TP can operate both room.
  
  I know duplicating the UIs can makes the life easiler but when it's talking about maintainance. It does matter. So I want to share the UI between 2 rooms. How can I do that? Thanks

  In a nutshell: make the panels identical, and store them in an array. Create a tracking variable array of the same size that tells which room each panel is currently controlling. When the panels change room (presumably a button press), change the variable in the tracking array to reflect that. Then, whenever a control button is pressed, look up which room is being controlled and send your commands there.
  

  DEFINE_DEVICES
  
  DEV dvPanel1 = 10001: 1:0
  DEV dvPanel2 = 10002: 1:0
  
  DEFINE_VARIABLES
  
  DEV dvPanels[] = {dvPanel1, dvPanel2}
  CHAR nRoomByPanel[] = {1, 2}     /// default room 1 to panel 1, etc.
  
  DEFINE_EVENTS
  
  BUTTON_EVENT[dvPanels, nRoomChange]   
  // where nRoomChange = array of button channels to change rooms
  {
      PUSH : nRoomByPanel[GET_LAST(dvPanels)] = GET_LAST(nRoomChange)  
  }
  
  BUTTON_EVENT[dvPanels, nControlButtons]
  {
      PUSH :
      {
          SWITCH(nRoomByPanel[GET_LAST(dvPanels)])
          {
              CASE 1 : { // operate on room 1}
              CASE 2 : { // operate on room 2}
          }
      }
  }
