The Zdanetix Project
The Zdanetix project (Russian здание, building) is an effort to develop a simple, multifunctional Hardware/Software home automation application, that can be used for small business premices or private houses.
Its main objectives are as following:
- acquire, record and process a limited number of numeric and analogic data (a few dozens)
- elaborate numeric and analogic controls while combining these data with commands and setpoints entered by the user
- heating, lighting, access, etc. control and/or monitoring
- data logging and journalling
- provide a friendly user interface accessible through the Internet, using a web browser, without the need to install additional software on the client side
- be simple and open enough to be easily portable to small low-end configurations.
- be localization friendly, at least for the languages using an 8-bit latin alphabet
The software has two main components :
- the process control and monitoring
- the web server that supports the user interface
As this web site is hosted by a commercial Internet Service Provider, the first component can only be roughly emulated. Therefore, the
Demo presented here concentrates mainly on presenting the user interface.
