Undo/Redo

 There are so many things that need to be done to get the home sensor animations working.  I added an undo/redo system so that mistakes can be undone. I'm currently working on getting my power plant scada system up and running. I have 63 years of experience in power plants and refinery controls. So it'll be nice to apply what I've programmed in code to home and buildings. i have 36 years coding the same scada block control system. The user will be able to visually see the flow of  logic of the block controls as the blocks and their connections are updated real time to the screen so you can see what's it's thinking and actually be able to change the logic connections and the parameters for each control.  For instance;    let's say you want any window to alarm you that it's been opened or broken. Then in the background, I'll add  an  OR control to the schematic that controls the alarm. If any window opens or gets broken, then the OR control will fir...

moving along with building buildings

I've added the ability to delete walls and expand rooms pretty easily. I can also add new rooms. You can select a wall and move it.  I can now save a file and bring it back in. Wouldn't be any good if you couldn't save your work. Later I'll add the building to a postgres database, that is, if the user wants a backup of their home. If not, they'll be able to save it in different ways. Flash drive, etc.  Eventually, I'll connect directly to the home. So they'll be able to see their stuff from anywhere. Still a lot of bugs.

3d home automation

The 3d editor has begun. Later ill add AI so that you can create the building by talking. So the editor shows a 3d home. The room can be selected and resized by moving a slider. There's so much to do before I start connecting sensors to the house. Resizing currently messes up the other rooms. So thats gotta be fixed.  Ill need another slider to move the room or maybe ill just put some text on screen showing current mode. Move room or resize.  Also I want to be able to click on a room and change it with my finger or the slider.  I need an undo feature.  It can add windows and doors but they don't animate yet. That'll come with the door and window sensors.  I want the room names to show above the room so they know what's what. There is a lot to do with connecting remotely. After creation of the building and its environment,  I want to connect directly to the small computer, like a Raspberry Pi. That way, they won't need to connect to my system on my website. ...

the beginning

 I've begun the creation of HalCreator. It is an automation platform that creates digital twins of your buildings. It uses the scada system that I created for the power plant which used 3d to animate the plant.  I am beginning the building creation system. It creates all the walls, floors, celings, doors, windows and sensors. I'll be using Vertex AI SKK as the front end so that people can just talk their fully automated building into reality. if they click on the sensor, then it will immediately find and animate the 3d object, color, size, rotation, position, scaling, depending on the object. That I've had working for 20 years with an OpenGl, which was really difficult. Now I can do it all on a webpage and create the home/business/power plant remotely.  Since I created a system that automated the entire power plant and presented 3d animated views of everything happening in the plant, I am in a great position to create a really powerful, simple to use, automation system th...
