Hi,
I went to L&B yesterday and have seen a perfect sample of the use of IPS (thanks Michel & Eddi). On the way back to Holland I came up with the following idea/question.
I don’t have a programmer’s background so for me reading all the samples on the forum and translating them to my personal use takes a long time, too long! I looked at screenshots, read manuals, even the php manual’s, tried some sample code, but still I have to put a lot of time into IPS. I want to get results and I want to get them quicker. I think this can be done, with your help!
Is it an idea to open up a sample site/project, accessible read-only for ips-customers, where we can browse through a sample project (Location Tree, Web-front etc). Too see and learn from how you, or others that want to contribute to it, have developed nice things with IPS. It would be like I am connecting with IPS Management Console (MC) into your project and could browse through it readonly(objects, code, hardware setup etc) and learn from it.
Creating objects would not be possible, of course. The sample project needs a lot of connected hardware en a lot of the code samples that are now scattered over the forum. Bringing it together in one and opening it up to customers would be a great help to me, and maybe also to other newbies.
I know about the ‘Smarthome’ site but this only gives a view of the webfront possibilities and not how you have done it. The greenpoint sample on the L&B is a lot better if I may say, take this one!
Anyone else think this would be a good idea ?
