[QUOTE="patrick, post: 96800, member: 12502"] Hi All, I am developing an xAP BSC Basic Home Automation plugin to control xAP enabled BSC devices for MP and would like to include some images that would be common and allow the plugin to be more "friendly" out of the gate. I have zero skills with graphics and have been using test images from openclipart.org, clipart CDs, MP, google images, etc. Basically looking for a few different types of images - Devices - Images that represent devices (coffee maker, light) - Categories - Categories/Groups the devices coule belong to (Lighting, Secutity) - Locations - Locations these devices may be in (Kitchen, Bathroom) - State - Represent the current state of a device (On, Off, Open, Closed etc) Examples that I could think of: Devices - Generic Light, Desk Lamp, Flood Lights, Security System, Oven, Television, Garage Door, Water Sprinklers, Security Gate Categories - Appliances, Security, Lighting, Home Entertainment, Grounds Keeping Locations - Office, Kitchen, Home Theater, Bedroom, Outside, Yard, Garage, Home State - These are a little more difficult to explain. They can be generic On/Off/Unknown, Open/Closed/Unknown. 10 images that could represent 10 Dim levels of a light. These can also be set on a per device basis so you could have Garage Open and Closed to represent the state for example. I have attached some screen shots to help explain what I am looking at. First is just looking at all the available devices to control It has a "Device Image" on the left, "State Image" in the Middle with the device name and contols on the right. Then the Device Categories view. With Category Images. Then the Devices within a Device Category. Again with the "Device Image" on top and "State Image" in the middle and controls at the bottom. Then the Location view. With Location Images. (Basically just like the Categoy view) There is another "Macro Scenes" view which allows many devices to get set to a predefined state with one action but I am not sure what images people would want to represent these so... Also if anyone felt the urge to create better "control buttons" feel free. Controls are: On(open), Off(closed), Toggle, Up ,Down, Check(To enable macro scene items), Run(To run an external file) Anyway, this turned into quite a longer post than intended so I will stop. And re-reading maybe I am asking for too much :) Thanks in advance if anyone can help. patrick p.s. xAP Links if more info is needed [url]http://www.xapautomation.org[/url] [url]http://www.mi4.biz[/url] [/QUOTE]
