Here is version 1.1 of the Home Controller project. In addition and revision to what I posted in “Control Your Home With Your iPhone“, I have incorporated the JavaScript and some of the CSS from the iPhone User Interface, aka iUI, project. The iUI gives some of the look and functionality, mainly the sliding panel navigation, of the iPhone’s internal apps to a webpage or webapp for the iTouch and iPhone.
Other than that I have decided to go with Safari’s native submit button style and simply changed the background colors to suit. The light interface now also includes a dim and brighten option for all light modules that support it.

• HTML - some of the markup changed from the first project because of how the iUI works but everything is still forms and input buttons. The one other difference is that I am using the “bright” function now so lights can be turned up as well as down:

  You can view the HTML file here.

• CSS - the new CSS file incorporates some of my original coding and some plucked from the iUI.

• PHP - the markup has not changed since version 1. I am still wishing that I could get the ActiveHome SDK software’s “queryplc” function to poll devices and return on/off and dim status.
• JavaScript - as I stated above I have used the iUI to achieve a interface that is more like the rest of the iPhone’s native applications. I didn’t change anything in the iUI script save for changing the slide rate from 20 to 90. With 20 as the slide rate my interface was quite clunky.

That’s it for now. The next update will be soon, once I get my doors to unlock with the system. And then on to the TV! I promise there will be a video demo soon. You can download the files for this version in the sidebar to the right. Peace!
