Vera Home Automation #287

Closed techpad-marcb closed 10 years ago

techpad-marcb commented 10 years ago

I'm working on a basic interface to integrate some basic home automation functionality. I'm using a Micasaverde unit to get the structure down. In the future looking to make it more generic to work with other automation controllers such as openhab. I'd really like some feedback on what has been done so far.

If there anyway to have a one buttons that toggles between on and off and input field where you can choose the dim level. (is its possible to dim via vera)

I might have mentioned this before but I am trying not to make HTPC-Manager too big. Some users want to add everything they can think of to HTPC-Manager, but i try to focus on actual htpc related software, like media player, downloading etc. I think Home automation is not htpc related.

I think Your add-on is really cool and i would like to encourage you to keep working on it, although i will not be merging this into my project because i think it is outside of the HTPC-Manager scope. I'm sorry.

That is understandable styxit. This project certainly got me interested in the ins and outs out python/JS/Bootstrap and started the wheels turning. I will keep working towards the support i need for my own environment.

Hallowlol this was just my first crack at getting things talking back and forth and the buttons are a crud way of getting the job done. I agree that a toggle and dropdown would be much better. I also need to work on status updates to get a status of the device when the page it loaded.

Keep watching there certainly will be more to come in the next few weeks
