 Finally, after a month after working on alarms and the way they should work remotely. There is still a lot of work to do to make it nice and easy to use. The basics, though, are done.  I started using Claude Code in Microsoft VS Code and wow, what a difference. Claude Code reaches into my code directories and looks at what needs to be done and then makes the changes that are needed.  I don't have a problem with that because I created a backup program that rolls through my directories and backs up the files that changed by copying them and then adds the date and time to the ending of those files. So that way, I keep a copy of all my changes. Pierre

 Oh man. Alarms over the internet is really complicated. In a power plant and most automation systems, alarms are static. That is, the installer creates the alarms using software. The user really has very little control over changing alarms. What im doing hereis to create software that can create alarms dynamically. That's giving the user power to create alarms. And the AI front end will be able to explain and take action.  What does that mean? Let's say the homeowner sticks a zigbee contact switch to a window. Then the user adds a window on a wall, using the browser 3d program scene. What happens is that Hal, which is running locally, at the house or business, now adds a schematic with blocks at the home or business, in the software running locally in the building,  now sends that zigbee contact switch sensor to the animated object that was just added remotely on the browser over the internet. Now the user can click a button that creates an alarm for that object. The nam...

 I wanted to show how I go through the process of creating a set of situations that come up. This particular situation is "How do I create alarms on a home or business?" So, here I'm going to place the back and forth I do with the AI system to decide how I'm going to implement alarms and the discussion gets pretty complex. So be warned if you decide to read on.  So here is the discussion with Claude AI: yeah. This why it would be difficult for someone who hasn't been programming.  This is why most companies have rehired their programmers. There will come a day when the AI can handle everything without a programmer.  There's no way i can imagine that right now  If you like you want to read the jargon I put up with, read on. Claude finished the response this is the handoff to begin a new chat Here's the handoff summary to paste into a new chat: HAL multi-user remote access — relay now LIVE on the public internet (handoff) Status: transport phase COMPLETE and...

 Since I have a healthy alarming system that I've spent 35 years developing for a power plant, its what I'll be using to create my alarming security system. Although, it won't be just an alarm system for doors and windows. It'll be for anything that needs alarming. So this is how its going to work . Ill set up a template  schematic thats as general as I can make it,  although I believe i may make several different templates for different types of alarms. For instance, an on/off alarming system is different than a range like temperature,  for instance. On/off will have parameters like alarm on change or alarm on "off to on" or "on to off".  A range alarming system have totally different types of alarms. For instance, a deadband may be necessary. If you have a tank that floats above and below a high level alarm, you best have a deadband of a percent or two, else every time it bounces , the alarm will sound and It'll drive you crazy.  So, hopefully ...

 Wow what a day. My main water pipe burst. Coming back from Home Depot, I turned too sharp and ripped my tire. My Ioniq5 doesnt have a spare so I had to have it towed home. Tomorrow,  ill take the rim in and get a new tire. Then I fixed the burst main with a coupling. Anyway, the way to get people to connect with their home or business,  I needed to get a server on the internet.  I thought that would be very expensive but instead of 6 or 7 thousand along with hundreds a month having someone maintain it and payments to a data center, it costs me 150 00 for 48 months.  What happened? Its less than 4.00 a month. Thats crazy. What isnt crazy is the setup. It would have taken me months figuring out how to set it up. Instead Claude guided me step by step through all the setups. Done in one day while flat tires and blown main water connections took my precious time. The world looks so different now. You may dislike AI, you might hate paying more for computer memory and...

 Ive begun the process of connecting through to the internet.  That means that now that i have doors and temperatures, its time to start actually viewing my home remotely.   There's so much to do still. This will take a week. After that,  ill start adding windows, alarms on smartphones, textures like brick walls. Ai so that the user can create and view remotely by talking to a smartphone or desktop computer.  Alarms will be a bit of a problem because ill have to create a small local app that listens for alarms and tells the user theres an alarm at the house or business.  Onward and upward.
