3D floor plan as background.

Apps & Remote Access
1

I have tried a lot of things to get my 3D floor plan as background but without any success. As far as I know this is not possible in Micasaverde or is there? In ImperiHome for android it is possible to insert a picture but it is not possible to overlay the switches etc. Does anyone know if there is software for Windows that makes this possible?

You may want to review the MyVera thread

Looks good! Is there also a English or Dutch explanation how to install this software?
Does anyone have experience with this software?
I think to much things that you have to do before it works and when you do it wrong what then!?!?!
Is there something easier?

No, not realty I only set up the original but not since. If you get the install wrong, you restart and it wasn’t difficult to follow.

You should ask follow up question about MyVeta in its thread

Use Google translate…

Hi Eugene,

I have Myvera installed with the 3d, and 2d floor plan with Myvera, it works great,

you have to install a web/php server (I did that on my Imac), Get the latest version of Myvera - there is some right issue , be sure all files are set to 777 (chmod -R 777 Myvera).

Then you are good to go with a browser, Myvera will detect all your device.

you need to create your 3d pictures, I used Floorplanner - Login to create the 3D, follow the tutorial,

attached is the first version of my installed, it has changed a lot since,

I have all my switch - dimmers - Nest - Shades - Camera - Calendar setup…

you should find information in english but I can give you direction if you decide to go for it.

Areb.

To much work and to risky…is there something else?

I would pay for an ImperiHome version that supports 2D, 3D models of your floors to display.
That would be perfect for me. Main screen is temperature and security cameras, swipe to the next screen to see the first floor and all devices on a 2D map, swipe again to a screen of the 2nd floor with all devices on a 2D map ;D

Myvera does that and it is free :slight_smile:

I need to take a look at MyVera. I found it here: MyVera – Download | SB domotique
Is there a newer version? It seems there hasn’t been any development on it in over 6 months

Thanks!

11

That is the latest, I have too.

once installed you can check for updates,

How did you get the image loaded?
I tried putting this in the image URL:
http://{ip of my server, also tried localhost}/MyVera/resources/images/rooms/FirstFloor.jpg
but it keeps saying:
Error:image not added
???
If I type that url into my web browser it loads the image

Thanks for any help

Change the rights of the image to 777.

Chmod 777 FirstFloor.jpg

had the same issue.

14

Still says the same error. Could it be the location of the file?

Thanks!

15

Hi,

Do you have access with your browser to that location?
Can you see the file in your browser ?

http://{ip of my server, also tried localhost}/MyVera/resources/images/rooms/FirstFloor.jpg

In my case , I can see mine like this (http://192.XXX.X.XXX:8080/myvera/CANCO3542.jpg)

I tested again and it works, the only issue I had was to change the rights for all files to 777

I guess you will have to do this - got to the root of your Vera directory

and type - chmod -R 777 MyVera

16

That did it! Must have been a permission with one of the other files.

Thanks!

Great news and welcome in Myvera, I love it and Hope the developer will add few things :slight_smile:

there is another discussion going on for Myvera : http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,14126.0/topicseen.html

Show me your work when done :slight_smile:

Sd_domo is not very active, hopefully he will show up soon :slight_smile:

For the life of me I cannot get my home view jpg working. I made it with sweethome 3d, tried to host it on imgur and grab it from that URL with no luck. Then, I put it straight on my server in a folder called Image and tried to pull it from there. Still MyVera gave me a URL error and did not pull the picture in. After overcoming an issue getting this installed in the first place, this is the last piece of the puzzle. Anyone have any ideas??

EDIT: strike that, finally got that part working and now I’m just trying to get the size of the picture right. It’s showing as a smaller square instead of filling the full screen :confused: I’ve tried sizes of 1280X800 and 1024x768, but they both end up as smaller pictures not even close to their size.

Hi squatingyeti,

Have you checked the rights of the folders and the files?

Set them as 777

the command is at the root of your webserver : chmod -R 777 Myvera

20

yep, that was it. I was following another guide that had them set at 755. Thanks! Another question, I’m trying to use MyVera on an android tablet and I’m not sure what size I should have the 3D image of my house in. Also, it doesn’t seem there’s a way to get chrome to go full screen on android?? That makes everything look off with a browser tab up top.
