XBee speaking with JN5168

After few hours playing with Zigbee sniffer finally managed to get my old XBEE based device using standard API router firmware to communicate with new JN5168 based device and pass the payload data over to the connected PC.

Still not sure, but probably will create JN5168 firmware which will emulate XBee API (only functions I use) to keep compatibility with old devices and existing management software, and add new featuresĀ to support my new custom JN5168 based end devices as well as standard ZigBee devices.

 

 

UI for system control

Some time decided to put an android based tablet on the wall for my house system controlĀ purposes. And here is the result:

IMG_9495UI is actually web based, so it looks the same on a tablet and any other browser. Each screen displayed (multiple dashboards are supported) can be fully customized and every element by nature is small widget which can be put in any position/size described in configuration table in database. This is main dashboard for me – it shows temperature outside/inside and forecast for next five days, each button controls appropriate device (lights/heating/gate), and also I included few historical graphs which show temperature sensor readings for 48/72 hours and also heating system on/off graph.

Also I managed to set tablet wake up on motion detected in front camera, which is quite a nice feature, as whenever you pass by device it is ready for use.
