eHouse and eCity systems contain auxiliary programming libraries for boundless individual development of software, communication with controllers and seriously expand system functionality and integration possibility.
This software is required to develop own solutions and new use-cases using our universal controllers without interfere in hardware, firmware, core/server software, Applications for control, visualization, management.
This is auxiliary, supportive and overlay software for "feeding" external systems with eHouse statuses/data and developing own solutions "from scratch":
  • Smart Monitoring
  • Machine Learning
  • Edge Computing
  • Predictive Maintenance
  • high-level communication applications to indirect communication to the system via eHouse Server/Cloud/Proxy
  • Building Information Modeling - BIM optimizing functionality and efficiency of (HVAC) Heating, Air Conditioning, Lighting systems
  • Various Layers communications protocols for integrations
  • Multi-protocol and multi-communication interface gateways for integrations
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Anomaly Detection and Signaling
  • low-level communication drivers to direct communication to controllers via main interface
  • Autonomous Control and Monitoring
  • Cloud Computing
  • mid-level communication drivers to indirect communication to controllers via CommManager, eHouse PRO/Hybrid/BMS server and other Server & gateways applications: "eHouse4Java", "eHouse.exe", "eHouseWiFi.exe"

This Delphi Software Package contains workable binary and open source-code for further development of own solutions based on this template.

This application is as simple as possible (no decorations) to assure low Hardware and OS requirements:
  • resolution, colors of displays, HMI panels (monochrome is possible and optimal resolution 1024px*800px). It can be up/down-scaled for different display sizes
  • computer system overall efficiency: low-cost processors, low memory, low performance (eg Windows NetBooks with Atom/Celeron processors)
  • Universal software - works under any Windows operating system versions (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10)

General Functionality of the software:
  • This software need to be compiled with Delphi to executive/binary form ".exe" (in case of change Pascal source code). It is much faster comparing to on-the-run processed/parsed script. Reverse engineering of hard-coded binary after development is rather non profitable. Software receives statuses in the real-time directly from IP controllers (LAN/WiFi) via UDP. It do not require (for IP Controllers) any server software to be run for autonomous work of Delphi application or as a RoomPanel.
  • contains Low level binary protocol decoder of eHouse WiFi (Pascal) controllers (TCP/UDP eHouse LAN/WiFi/PRO protocol)
  • contains Low level binary protocol decoder of eHouse One (RS422/485) in Pascal controllers {RoomManager, ExternalManager, HeatManager} indirectly via eHouse Server (TCP/UDP eHouse LAN/WiFi/PRO protocol)
  • contains Low level binary protocol decoder of eHouse LAN (Ethernet) in Pascal controllers (EthernetRoomManager, CommManager, LevelManager) - (TCP/UDP eHouse LAN/WiFi/PRO protocol)
  • Decoding low-level binary status for eHouse LAN, eHouse WiFi, eHouse One (RS422/485)
  • Sending commands via TCP/IP (with challenge-response authorization algorithm over TCP/IP with eHouse LAN/WiFi/PRO protocol)
  • Online Automatic Visualization and Control - (online controllers' statuses are automatically received by build in UDP Listener/Server. Selected Room (RoomManager) may be displayed on single screen Panel.
  • Room Panel most recent revision - eHouse One, LAN, WiFi - decoders and control panel software - 2021 Delphi Pascal
  • Displays measurements inputs, active programs, etc.
  • Room Panel eHouse LAN, eHouse RS485/422 - Mature solution before 2012
  • Cooperation with eHouse One (RS422/485) system under CommManager, "eHouse.exe" application or eHouse PRO Server
  • Displays "active buttons" for visualization of output states and control outputs by pressing buttons (sending commands to controllers or sever)
  • Online Control - via TCP/IP over LAN, WiFi network (sending commands to IP controllers directly (eHouse WiFi, eHouse LAN) and indirectly via Server (non IP Controllers eg. RS-485)
  • contains integration via windows file system (with eHouse.exe application - mature solution before 2008)
  • Continuous operation application - can work all the time (might be monitored by "WDTKiller.exe" for valid working)
  • RS-422/485 direct Communication in Pascal for Linux (Lazarus)
  • continuously logging device statuses (to the text files)
  • reads configuration from "eHouse.exe" and "eHouseWiFi.exe" applications
  • Caching device statuses in local memory and array variables for complete and integrated system data processing
  • can works locally or remotely via local network
  • This Software supports eHouse WiFi, eHouse LAN {ERM, CM/LM}, eHouse One RS485/422 systems {EM/RM/HM}. Other systems variants software library might be disclosed to the partners.
