Una llamada de teléfono
Intentando acelerar un poco el ritmo, escribimos al Arquitecto planteándole la posibilidad de obtener un listado de materiales para la casa (a veces tiendo a confundir los edificios con las recetas de cocina y me da por pensar que basta una lista de ingredientes). Nos contestó que esa lista de ingredientes suele ser precisamente el…

Linking to C#
And finally came the part that makes sense of everything. A central computer that receives events from all installed vesta devices, sends data and reads information at the user’s request. The Vesta philosophy considers that the data must reside in each module and the computer link allows them to be read and written transparently. To…

Meteo Device
I couldn’t wait for tomorrow. It’s been a bit more tedious than I expected, but now it works! The weather module obtains the basic data from a combined DHT sensor and processes it by storing the maximum and minimum values for temperature and humidity. Beyond how well it works (and it works perfectly), what I…

Digital Outputs
Digital outputs are working! The digital output consists of a device whose logic state corresponds to the activation or deactivation of a physical output of the controller. Put like that, it seems simple, doesn’t it? As always, the work behind the scenes is much more complex: Inverted outputs The physical state of the controller output…

Los planos
El día 8 de abril pudimos ver por fin los planos de lo que será la casa, o al menos de la parte que esperamos reformar. Creo que esta vez valdrá más un puñado de imágenes que todas las palabras del mundo… El siguiente paso ahora lo dará también el Arquitecto, que calculará los materiales…

Targets for Vesta
There are the targets to install vesta controllers on this home. After this deploy all basic devices and switches will be controlled by computer. As this is not the first domotic aproximation, there are several devices working temporarly: Target 0: Storage Room It’s on the basement. From here we control all the lights, our electric…

Crisis
April 2022: After a virus pandemic and an invasion of a European country, the world enters a fuel crisis that drags down the weakest economies. Globalization has multiplied the collateral damage, shooting up the indices that reveal the seriousness of the moment. Many millions of people are encountering serious problems in obtaining basic products such…

Third device type
Today has been quite a productive day; I have worked on the interface and I have transferred to the compiler the task of creating the list of web controls for editing. The work has been loaded with refactorings and I have been spending almost all the time on it. It was worth it anyway, considering…

Preparing for Hardware Debug
After missing the schedule and more than two months later than planned, the prototype is ready for hardware behavior coding. The code structure already works exchanging information with the web interface, which has been (by far) the most delicate part of the process. For the tests I have only developed two types of device: The…
