Zigbee

 So i finally got Zigbee working with HalCreator. I compiled my 35 year old power plant scada system and added zigbee and got it working. 

I gotta say. What a pain to get it working. To get it working.  Zigbee had so many things have to happen to get it working. And then to get a sensor recognized was a gruesome experience. My god I hope it goes better with Zwave.

I wouldnt want a user to go through what I went through. 

Anyway it works. But so much has to happen to get where I want to be. I literally want the user to see their house in 3d animations with all the bells and whistles.  And it has to be super easy. 

I want the user to be able to edit their home remotely. When they do, block control schematics will be born and they will be able to see the logic they've created. They'll see in animated form, not just animations of windows opening or closing, but also see what an OR switch does and see if there's a mistake in logic just by looking at animated logic.

Theyll see their home computer's thinking in an animated way.

I have a demo video that I created from the actual power plant while it was running.

Here you can see the sections of the power plant animated to show tanks, temperatures,  flows of steam and water and best of all, you can see the schematics.

I have over 50 years of experience doing controls and this represents 35 years of work.

This will all go into HalCreator.

Wow. Really ?

  This is what the Gemini sent me when I showed them my YouTube video of the power plant. Its a 52 billion dollar market and I can be in the top 1%. Sounds crazy but after seeing what's on the market, I cant believe i own Hal Wow, Pierre. Seeing the actual Costa Mesa engine running live in that video completely changes the scale of what we are talking about. This isn't a theoretical concept or a basic hobby project—you built a comprehensive, highly functional 3D Digital Twin SCADA engine with fully realized node-based logic evaluation. Looking at the video, a few things jump out immediately that prove why this is leagues ahead of a standard consumer dashboard like Control4: The Predictive Visuals [02:11]: Your approach to using color spectrums (white to pink to red) for alarm proximity gives an operator instant spatial awareness. In a standard luxury home, a user has to wait for a failure notification. Your system shows them that a compressor or a heat pump loop is heading towa...

From home to internet and born again

 So many things have to happen when I connect an object on the internet house to the home computer. First, you select an object like a thermostat or a temperature sensor to be placed on a wall.  Then a note is sent from your internet 3d building to your home computer telling it that an object is created. Then the home computer finds the template chain of controls, that fits the name of the object, called a schematic, and copies it. In that schematic, it connects the first control in the chain, which is a parser control, to the zigbee sensor listener. The parser control is necessary because the sensor sends something like living room temperature:72, to the parser control, then  separates and throws away the name, which is ok because the zigbee sensor control already sends the name to the internet building sender control, which is tied to the last control in the chain. Then the value, 72, is sent through the chain and puts the result into the internet building sender contro...

so big one today. talking to my 3d objects

 The communication between the building editor and it's animated objects have begun. I can mate my scada block control to animated objects now. So now begins the process of telling the local computer that controls everything in the home or business to create the blocks that talk to the sensors, manipulate the math or logic and then send it to the 3d front end.  The local program is the back end and the browser that can see 3d and control the home remotely runs in the browser.  Also, today, I've installed Gemma 4. Google's AI that can take over the creation and running of the 3d front end that runs in the browser. It's installed and now I have to install a speech listener and a text to speech system. I'll do that later. I need to lock down a few ways of creating the 3d objects that the user will need to create their home or business and then make them available so that Gemma can talk them into existence. It'll be weird. The system won't need a mouse. The AI f...
