Does such a script exist and if not, would many people find this useful? I think it would be cool to have a floor plan of my house with doors and motion sensors marked on it. When they are triggered they light up on the floor plan.
I've thought of 2 ways to make the floor plans customisable to users' own house. Have a grid (in a HTML table) made up of GIF images. There would be about 40 different images available so users can create a floor plan of their house using these building blocks: Straight lines, corners, doors, stairs, sensor icons, etc.
The other way is to allow users to draw their own floor plans by hand in any paint program and save it out as a GIF or JPEG. Then they would need to key in x/y coordinates (in pixels) of where each motion or door sensor is located. Icons for these will overlay their floor plan image using DHTML layers. I'm not sure which of the two methods will be easiest for users?
I'd probably need some help coding the realtime bridge between Homeseer and the ASP web page, but I can manage the Javascript/DHTML code to convert data to animate the floor plan.
Any thoughts?
