Delphi Open Source Software for Windows control panels for Rooms

Home Automation – development of software control panels for Rooms of eHouse building automation system . Delphi programming library is discussed in more detail in the post .

We have updated to the current version of eHouse and drivers compatible with the system state for November 2012.

Currently, the software has the following features:

  • visualization and control eHouse1 system under the supervision of PC
  • visualization and control eHouse1 system under the supervision of CommManager
  • visualization and control system of Ethernet eHouse
  • Ready for the room control panel / room / controller (HeatManager , RoomManager , EthernetRoomManager)
  • EHouse1 control devices under the supervision of a PC – Event recording control for drivers in the event queue for the application eHouse.exe
  • Device Control eHouse 1 under the supervision of CommManager – direct message control events (via LAN)
  • Ethernet Device Control eHouse – direct message control events (the LAN) directly to the controller

Working Mode of software is forced through a file in the directory “%ehouseDir%\Ehouse1.cfg” eHouse1 version under the supervision of a PC.
Otherwise, the software is running in real mode controllers by downloading status and sending commands directly to the LAN, Ethernet or WiFi.

Panels now support:

  • single control output on/off buttons
  • read the status of the controllers out and highlight buttons
  • reading and visualize of all measuring inputs
  • Implementation of the program – buttons (switch)
  • Performance of the heating program – (Only for Ethernet controllers)
  • synchronization status of the Ethernet controllers via UDP broadcast
  • synchronization status by the file system for eHouse1 controllers from ehouse.exe application
  • Write events to eHouse queue for an application eHouse.exe for eHouse1 version under the supervision of a PC
  • Sending events via TCP/IP protocol directly to controllers

The source code can be found at eHouse Home Automation – Open Source Software – Delphi

The code is distributed under the GNU open source .

Require sending a copy of the source code of the software to update and correct errors, and further development .

Using software to create your own applications beyond Open Source is only possible on the basis of individual commercial license .
