Sharing my application with you...

[krambriw]

Hello, I have made a Windows application that communicates with EG and that I would like to share with others who might have similar needs.

The application calculates sunset/sunrise and daylight savings at your location and I use it to control the outdoor/indoor lights of my house. It has been working perfect for a year or so and my lights are always turned ON and OFF correctly.

Since a month ago I use it together with EG. EG has a USB-UIRT device and a pyramid converts the IR to RF. My lights are then turned ON/OFF with NEXA RF receiver modules (I think this is similar to InterTechno). Basically anything that can be controlled by EG could therefore be triggered by my application due to time settings and sunset/sunrise and daylight savings.

Would it be ok if I upload my application here to your community?

Best regards, Walter

I don't mind if you upload it here.

But wouldn't it be better to do the calculations directly inside EG (through a python script)?

Yes, I guess it could be possible to migrate everything to a python script but I'm not skilled in that. My app is in C++ and its not just a simple calculation, it also handles devices but this is of course not needed together with EG.

Creating a new version in python is a matter of effort...lets see the interest for this functionality and then we could decide later how to proceed.

I'm anyhow willing to learn python

Thanks, Walter
