Hi!
I'm still reading the docs, and just made a simple test with qooxdoo... Now
it's time to start a real
project. But I need advice!
My goal is to make a home automation client interface to control a KNX-based
system. The server part
will be based on my python framework, pKNyX¹.
I would like to make something a little bit different than existing clients:
the GUI will be
automatically built using a config sent by the server (json format).
The client interface will be mobile/tablet oriented, and will be very simple,
based on pages/lists. Some
widgets in the lists will be as simple as buttons, but some others can be a
little more complex
(button+icon with light state handling, spinbutton...).
Here is a little example of a json file sent by the server (first draft):
{
"objects": [
{
"id": "light_1_paul_bedroom",
"type": "light",
"room": "Paul bedroom",
"dptid": "1.001",
"gad": "1/1/0",
"listener": "1/2/0",
"label": "Light 1"
},
"id": "light_2_paul_bedroom",
"type": "light",
"room": "Paul bedroom",
"dptid": "1.001",
"gad": "1/1/1",
"listener": "1/2/1",
"label": "Light 2"
}
]
}
The idea is to give all informations needed to build the GUI. There will be a
main page:
Main
Rooms
Lights
The 'Rooms' button will drive to a sub-page:
Rooms
Paul bedroom
The 'Paul bedroom' button will drive to another sub-page:
Paul bedroom
Light 1
Here, 'Light 1' is a custom button to toggle the light, with a nice feedback
icon.
The 'Lights' button of the main page will drive to another sub-page:
Lights
Light 1 Paul bedroom
And so on. This is just an example; it will be possible to dynamically build
any kind of tree, with more
or less deep.
All widgets (buttons, here), will send orders to the KNX bus, through the
server, and should be updated
as soon as a change occurs on the bus (polling is OK).
This is my first javascript framework use, and I'm a bit lost with all
available tools and ways to do
it :o/ So, I would like to have some advice about the global architecture I
should use to have something
clean, easy to improve (adding new composite widgets for list entries), and
easy to maintain.
Thanks for reading.
