Android Smart House eHouse control by form of the List

Sending events from Android software – Select from the list

This article describes how to write software for system control panels eHouse working on the platform ANDROID .

They can be :

• Tablets
• Mobile Panels
• GSM Mobile Phones
• SmartPhone
• touchphone
• PDA
• PADs
• SMART TV
• TV SAT Tuners
• Audio Equipment – video
• any hardware running the Android operating

eHouse Smart Home can be controlled by the choice fields and the events list .

The event is automatically sent (after pressing “Send” ) The WiFi system or via the Internet if the Internet connection option is enabled .

If for any reason there is no TCP/IP (WIFI , INTERNET ( GSM , EDGE , 3G , 4G or another dependent on the type of control panel) event is added to the queue , which can be sent manually to the controller on one of the available methods in eHouse system and possible to achieve in a given type of panel and the range of communication links and protocols.

For this purpose, the generated class ” RunEvent.class ” , which uses alone all operations :

• Loads a list of devices ( controllers) and their settings generated from the application eHouse.exe
• Loads a list of events for each controller
• Allows you to choose any event from a letter to send to the system eHouse
• It allows you to send events to the controller by pressing ” Send ”

Use this control method does not require the creation of complex visualization and is the simplest method of remote intelligent home eHouse .
Screenshots form :

Developing calendar lists events and multiple .

Develop a list of devices ( controllers) –
tip ” – E ” ordinary events ,
tip ” – P ” event – programs ,
without suffix all events

Develop a list of events for security driver CommManager ( Zones of Protection and Security ) .

Sending events via WiFi , Internet (3G , GPRS , 4G , EDGE or other link subject to availability ) when you press
” Run Event ” or ” Run And Hide Event ” .
Descriptions are taken from a text configuration file that you can create other language versions and their own individual descriptions .

Use of the module requires only a few lines of source code .
Sample source code to control a smart home from touch panels , smartphones , Android tablets . It also uses visualization , to show how its integration with the form control

* !!!!! . class : class implements a complete graphical visualization and standard eHouse graphic control in accordance with the format of the input files ehouse
* For visualization .
* Draw basic curves (rectangle , rounded rectangle , ellipse , line , text
* Runs events related to graphical objects when activated (sending the WiFi or internet link available GSM or other ) .
* Visualization is automatically updated each time you receive a status of drivers .
* The module supports gestures swiping your finger – causes the image in certain directions gesture
* With multitouch screens also supports scaling ( zoom in and out )
