Interface Objects

These objects, divided into functions, pages and objects, compose the client application GUI. Please refer to the ”User Interface” section. Each object allows the user to check the system status and control the integrated elements. All these objects shares the following

Properties

Function is a sort of chapter that can collect several graphical pages. Properties can be easily adjusted from the settings window that is displayed on the right side when selecting a function from the list:

Parameters

This object is the fundamental element for the User Interface. All the other customized objects forming the project are added on the page element. Each page can have a background color enabled, or a background image selected from the list available inside the software.

Parameters

This object allows the user to create a popup instead of a page. Similar to a page, a popup can contain the majority of the User Interface objects. The popup can be designed with a different background, and can be recalled from a Generic Button or from a trigger inside the logic Module.

Parameters

link

This object groups interface objects together, encloses them in a menu, and allows for individual or group management. In the case of a group, it enables parameter management through an interface window, useful for a series of identical hotel rooms for example.

Parameters

This object allows to import a (PNG or JPG) image file in the project. (It can be used for example as interface background).

Parameters

This object allows to insert text labels in the GUI.

 Example of texts

Parameters

This object allows to add a web browser inside a project page, allowing the user to access web pages using one single application.

Note that URLs with HTTPS used for secure communication are not yet available for the Web Browser object, and that there are some navigation limitations due to the inavailability of certain plugins.

Parameters

This generic button can be configured in order to perform a specific action (f.e: send telegrams on bus, launch a scene,show a popup, send a push notification,change function and page). It can be programmed to control each server service.

Example of generic commands

Parameters

This object is a particular button that, reading a value from KNX or a different data source, can switch between different states defined by the user. States can be represented by different images or strings. Depending on the data type of the source, strings for the states can also come directly from the source (for instance it is possible to show text coming from KNX or date and time). For each state it is possible to associate two actions, one for press and one for long press event. With this object it is possible to create very complex interaction elements like gauges, dynamic texts etc.

Parameters

This object allows the user to visualize the streaming of an IP camera in the application.

Parameters

This object allows the user to control Thinknx Audiofy from inside the Thinknx application, instead of using the independent Audiofy application.

Parameters

link

This object allows the user to visualize the position of the sun via a chart, displaying sunrise and sunset times, as well as graphically depicting its movement along the Earth's axis. Arrows provide the option to change the time.
