AxialControl: Home Automation Server (Formerly InControl)

[yokel22]

This is a plugin for AxialControl Home Automation Server http://www.axialcontrol.com/. Right now it's just basic one way communication, but i plan on adding events in the next version. I've tested things pretty well but only on my system. If something isn't working properly, LMK.

** added v1.0.1: fix a dumb bug stopping macro from proceeding. **

Added Event Generation, Calling it v1.0. I plan on switching things over to a websocket connection when i can figure out the commands. But for the time being it's setup with a polling thread. This is optional and the polling time is configurable. It will generate event's in this format. "AxialControlHA.deviceName({'type': xxx, 'deviceID': 'xxx', 'value': 'xxx'}). I'm open to suggestion on the formatting of this but if you want to get the value for the event it can be parsed out like this:

deviceName:

Code: Select all

eg.event.suffix

deviceValue:

Code: Select all

eg.event.payload['value']

deviceType:

Code: Select all

eg.event.payload['type']

deviceID:

Code: Select all

eg.event.payload['deviceID']

Or you can do something like this in the screenshot(copy/paste this into your eg.tree):

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1722">
    <Macro Name="Python Script" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="AxialControlHA.*" />
        <Action>
            EventGhost.PythonCommand(u'print eg.event.suffix + " = " + str(eg.event.payload[\'value\'])')
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

This is a simple web app that uses this plugin and the webserver plugin. It still has a few small bugs to fix but is in pretty good working order if anyone feels like playing around with it. There are a few screenshots attached at the bottom of this post.

Step 1:
You will need version 1.0 or higher installed of the AxialControlHA plugin.

Step 2:
Open the attached eventghost tree.

Step 3:
Configure the AxialControl plugin with your server credentials. Also enable Event polling, i usually set my polling time to 5 seconds.

Step 4: Configure the Webserver plugin to point to the supplied html folder. Also set your prefferred port to run the webserver off of. (Note: if you experience any errors with the webserver plugin. Update to the newest version here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1663)

Webserver Config

Step 5: Load the webpage in your prefferred web browser(Your PC's ip that runs EG and the port set in the webserver plugin. Example: 127.0.0.1:8099). You can run this in fullscreen on chrome by saving the link to desktop and choosing open in window.

Here is an updated index.html to handle images not properly loading when viewing the file as a local file in a browser.

Cool, I'll update the file in the zip. Just out of curiosity.
What did you add?

[kgschlosser]

it's what i removed..

the "/" before all of the image paths.
I am sure that is the correct thing to do. give it a test first to see.
