Premise Floor Plan GUI

Is it possible to have one of those nifty gui's that show light status and other status objects based on the homes actual floor plan in premise? I suspect its possible... I guess the real question is how is this done?

ACB,

This might be something to try. The code is about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Damon Deen sent this to me a little while ago and he said I can distribute it so:

Download the attachment, read the instructions. It's a very self-explanatory install. Basically it allows you to create custom HTML pages and connect to SYS objects from within the custom pages. It's really fantastic, well worth a look if you like to play with graphics and design.

It provides a clear example of how to use the SYSConnector ActiveX object to help you design custom web pages. SYSConnector lets you control Premise objects (i.e. turn on a light) and display their current status. The second part is very important because it means you don't have to poll for status. As soon as a light's brightness changes, its status is immediately communicated to your web-page ... no polling required.

Another option is to use Minibroker. It works with both web and Windows applications. The post's attachment contains several examples of how to work with Minibroker using C#, VB, Javascript and other languages that can access a COM object.
