I've got a very, very, very early prototype UI, but I'm getting errors trying to upload it. PM me and I'll send you the zip. It's not very pretty yet because there are some bugs in the framework I'm using (text centering, vertical orientation of labels,etc.). The Location canvas is a place-holder until I can get an "itunes-like" coverflow control in there. Only Dimmers and Relay Lights work at this point. There are some pretty hairy IIS-related installation instructions included in the zip file that worked for me, but your results will vary. :blink: There is no error checking being done at this point...
I'm putting this out to exercise the plumbing on multiple environments and get feedback on the UI model I'm using (very similar to media center).
As for the overall installation process:
1. Grab the xdo from the zip file and import it into Premise.
2. Go under custom devices and create a new PremiseUI device
3. Under the Home menu, every "location" object will have a new property called "ShownInUI". Click that property to allow that particular location to be show in the Locations navigation bar. I'm experimenting with getting away from a heirarchical UI model like Automation Browser, and make it flat. My thought is that an end-user wants to quickly go to the "Family Room" and would rather just scroll and click to that room versus navigating from Home to House to First Floor to Famly Room.
3. Make sure you have a TWCi Weather instance running on your Premise server. PremiseHUI will fail without it.
4. Follow the instructions in the zip file VERY CAREFULLY to load up the website and configure IIS
5. Once everything is loaded, you should be able to go to http://<yourservername>/PremiseHUI/PremiseHUIMain.swgx and see the bare canvas show up. The navigation buttons on the bottom take you to Weather and Location views.
I'll set up another thread in the main forum to get feedback.
Thanks,
