Great start - really like the functional appeal to this - with none of the config settings. Clean and simple - perfect for a tablet mounted on a wall.
One thing that seems to be missing from the general Vera showcase is the ability to have a display of the Plan/map of your house and then drag/drop sensors lights etc onto the Plan/map. It appears that every tool takes the button/icon approach and users then put them into tabs which are called rooms.
As we live in a geographical house, I’m surprised that the devices can not be put in a geographical way on the tools - perhaps your one would be a first if this was simple to do - background is a user uploaded image and then icons can be put wherever as an overlay.

Great work[/quote]
thnx
the thing is the vera works with devices/tiles/tabs, so to make it like a plan/map of ur house it requires a lot of additional coding to make that happen, i had to make my own code to make the graphicssystem working as this is not a build-in feature of visual-studio/windows. in theory it can be done, in reality it takes about a few dozen hours to make. you can change the whole look of the interface though and i have a newer version so that one can choose different themes, but that one has crashes and errors still, so i won’t put these online yet. i wanted to make it so that you can just add plugin files for each non-common device like the fibaro rgbw and nest and such, but it is slowing down the program and response-time a lot. in the meanwhile the available version works ok and can be used locally for ui6 and ui7 as well, remote-acces doesnt work as i do not have the time to implement the new MMS login-code system needed. my dad died in april and i have about 1 hour spare time a week for myself left so it gonna take some time for me to work on this program. it is also not that easy to make it how i wanted it as the info needed for coding is scattered all over the place on mcv servers and it lacks proper documentation.
Just downloaded and ran it. Basic but functional and actually it’s simplicity is a plus to me. I wonder if it runs on XPe? If so, I may just have found a use for an older Wyse Thin Client and a simple 15" touchscreen (tap only) I have laying around.
use your program, but instead of Russian gibberish (gibberish) … tell me where and what you can change to display normal Russian.
I understand the problem in the coding …
many thanks.
I just stumbled on this, and love it! Thank yo so much for the work on this. You may have moved on, the thread seems old, but I had a quick question. I’m running a VeraPlus with current firmware, and it all seems to work fine. The only thing I’m having trouble with his hiding some of the icons. I see the Right Click > Show/Hide but when I click that the next box is blank. I attached a screenshot, any thoughts? Thanks again
[quote=“Da_JoJo, post:23, topic:176063”]ah ok, i see what i can do about the tabs.
recompiled code to visual studio 2012 now and going to release it as open source, so yes the code will eventually be released but not for the moment.
i’ll get an update out as soon as i finished the rebuilding of the main code and some more plugin support. this will take some time and i have no idea yet how many.
edit:
uploaded new version with rgbw colorwheel, new switches, virtual switch and right upper corner tab-scroll left/right. use link above to download. seems armed/disarmed icon is not changing anymore… i get that fixed> 16-9-2013 : its fixed > added new colorpicker 17:39[/quote]
