Just re-revved my stuff given the new features that CQC has, plus my improved understanding of the various bits of equipment I got.
Here's the latest set. The big focus areas for me from hereonout are going to be
1) To enhance my Elk integration with the rest of the system, and expose control to that through the GUI. There's too much stuff to even mention, but that's where the WAF is going to come from.
2) Properly integrate the new SageTV and TheaterTek TCP drivers, which will be what truly allow me to do multi-stream video.
3) Finishing up the Recipe Integration driver, so me/anyone else can pull up recipes inside CQC. I'm no coder, so this may take a while.
4) Silly functions like traffic (i walk to the train, why do I need this?), horoscopes, etc. Rarely used, but I've noticed the wife shows off the most bizarre stuff when her friends come.
But, taking precedence over all that will be actually mounting & installing some more Elk stuff, and leaving control to the keypads until I have a chance to do #1 above.
Ok, here goes the dump. It's all pretty self-explanatory, so I won't go into great detail. You'll see:
- Whole House Audio/Video (CD, DVD)
- Weather
- CCTV
- HVAC
- Irrigation
- Elk
- Misc a/v equipment (Denon, Xantech)
Pressing the CD or DVD button will bring up this page:
If you picked something not available in that zone (really, video is the only filter there):
If you got it right...
Press the genre button.
Press the song button.
Now DVDs. Not going to bother showing the genre or roomchoice popup, as it's the same as CDs.
Now XM. Again, not going to bother showing the roomchoice popup.
7 day if you want, with all the radar stuff.
Now on to the security.
And the Misc menu.
The token cool thing about the denon page is that the buttons emulate radio buttons, so when you choose one, it turns green and the others are black.
boring camera shot. This needs to be redone during daytime.
