HomeTerm Update

January 5th, 2009 Elze Leave a comment Go to comments

With the holidays and the Wiki consuming a lot of time lately the progress has been a little slower but I’m still working on my HomeTerm project.

The current status is now:

  • Basic webinterface is ready
  • SHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor supported
  • Storage of settings supported trough an Extended Weak  Reference object
  • Relais outputs enabled.

I made a screencast of the Webinterface:

 

 

You can download the very preliminary version here:

    Did your LCD Text sometime also freeze, when someone connect from the internet to your hometerm?
    It seems that the DispatcherTimmer ist killed. Did you maybe found the reason?

    Yes, It also happened to me, I didn’t try to figure out why yet, I’m currently working on storing settings, changing username and password etc. Maybe it has to do with the Garbage Collector or something? Or the thread that monitors the listening thread doesn’t work properly. The dispatchtimer uses free processor time..

    oh, storing settings e.g. on SD- might be interessting!
    Also graphical display the temperature history could be interessting :)
    I will try to edit your html code to add some more functions, but its all very new for me. i’m a visual basic guy and c# its really new :)
    Your code its just easy to understand…

    I tought of storing the temperature history on SD, For another project I’m working with an SD Card. It’s very easy.

    If you start with it make sure you format the SD with FAT32! As I found out FAT12/FAT16 (Default for most SD cards) doesn’t work.

    And thanks for the compliment! I try to use as many comments and info as posible.. I try to inspire people with my blog to use MF

    i further want to use a amtel ngw100 but this controller not fit to me :) MF is very nice, but not realy easy.

    I have tried to save something to SD, it works, it quiet very easy. i use the sample from the GHI manual.

    Did the SHT11 have a Offset Value?
    My SHT11 is outside and my temperature is too high, because my building is too old.

    Hi Christian, I noticed this to. It triggered me to look at all values looked in the calculation and I didn’t find any errors in it. I tought it could be something with my sensor.. I try to look in to it altrough I’m very busy right know with my Dare to Dream different challange project.

    i think i found my error. My building was the problem. I chance the location of the sensor with 10meter wire :)
    Now i think i have the true values.
    I work now an a possibilty to make a webcam-picture transfer to the webinterface. i bought the little cam from bansky’s page. Nice litte one :)
    Good luck with you Dare to Dream Project….

    Okay, Nice to hear! Adding a JPEG camera can be a realy powerfull addition to the project. For my dare to dream different project i’m working on a scripting language. I won’t release this until end of March. But if you like it, and you promise you won’t give the code to others I can send it by mail..

    I’m quiet interessting….
    and i swear i will not give it to others. i want to learn,
    its really difficult – bansky code is a old one and now i have to code them to MF3.0.

    Hi Elze,
    i make a simple wheather station with your sample.
    when i connect from localhost it display temperatures and huminity. but when i connect from outside i only display my graphics in the index.html without any temperatures. Strange?!

    did you also test your project from outside?
