eHouse Home Automation for Windows Mobile , Windows Phone 7 , 8 , .NET – Open Source Software

Home Automation eHouse – Open Source Software in C# (C Sharp).

We provide open source code and instructions for creating eHouse control software for panels working on Windows platform (.Net).

Net systems based on different versions of Windows.

  • Windows Mobile 6.x professional (smartphones)
  • Windows Phone 7.x professional (smartphones)
  • Windows Phone 8.x (smartphones)
  • Windows XP , Vista , 7 , 8 (32 and 64 bit systems) from the platform .NET (Computer PC , Tablets , graphic panels, etc.)

The software is set up so that it is able to work on multiple operating systems and versions of the environment .Net (Dot Net) .

Basically, there are two main versions of the software for the environment . NET.

  • .Net for PC devices (computers , Tablets) {for setting WIN32 directive in the source code [# define WIN32]}
  • .NET CF (Compact Framework – Mainly for mobile devices: Windows CE , Windows Mobile ,Windows Phone etc) . Truncated version allows more efficient operation for battery devices

C# Language, unlike Java and NON-INFRINGEMENT languages ​​based on it, allows you to use the definition like “#Define_WIN32;” “#Define_BLUETOOTH; #Define_DEBUG;”, allowing you to perform conditional compilation for different versions of software , working on the same source .
This allows you to create multiple applications based on the same template , differ from each other by:

  • Hardware version: mobile platforms , PC , graphic panels, etc..
  • Version of the operating system: Windows Mobile , Phone , XP , Vista, 7, 8 using common features of the environment .Net
  • Version of the .Net: Normal or CF (Compact Framework)
  • Versions with dedicated peripherals and communication equipment such as: Bluetooth , WiFi , Irda , GSM modems , touch screens , serial ports
  • Various software variants, more or less truncated or limited functionality

This allows you to handle every exception for these factors and maintain a coherent version of the software without continuous “Synchronization” different versions of the software, contained in the duplicated and changed files .

We have based open source software on one template, allowing for further development depended on the direction in which the market goes on hardware and software, and .NET environment .

In accordance with our naming standard applications are:

  • eHouse4WindowsMobile
  • eHouse4WindowsPhone
  • eHouse4DotNet
  • eHouse4DotNetCF
  • eHouse4Win32

We will continue to call eHouse4DotNet (eHouse for Dot Net), which includes all software versions and variants .

The basic functionality of the software:

  • Work on any platform with a software .Net and .Net CF
  • Work on any equipment, mobile , equipped desktop environment .Net
  • Visualization and Graphics Control Online via Wifi , Ethernet , Internet
  • Control from text form
  • Graphical Controls by BlueTooth , SMS , eMail , WiFi , Ethernet , Internet (TCP)
  • Online control Graphically via LAN (TCP , UDP – eHouse status of the controllers broadcasts )
  • Online control Graphically over the WAN – Internet (TCP)
  • Architectural visualization based on the individual home project
  • Automatic Visualization for each controller (space) without the need for design visualization
  • Dynamic Visualization – based on a single template, for example, “repetitive construction” by developers based on one project
  • SVG Visualization (Scalable Vector Graphics – without loosing quality) with the possibility of scaling , moving images
  • Gathering Online status of the controllers to enable further processing, analysis and development of advanced control algorithms for .Net panels
