I am working on an inControl web interface written in PHP with jquery. It is dynamic HTML using ajax, and is intended to eventually be a functional clone of the inControl widows interface.
There is a screenshot here, with the a thermostat device selected: http://snag.gy/8I4of.jpg
The source is on GitHub : https://github.com/ahagadorn/incontrol-web
Take a look at the README.md, all you have to do is get the zip file, unzip it on your web server and change the config.php. No other software besides PHP is required, and it does not use a database.
Please give it a try and let me know here if you find any bugs. I will be working on many enhancements, this is just the beginning of what I plan to do with it. I have found it to be very stable and useful to me anyway, hopefully others will find it useful too.
New PHP Web Interface

I'll give it a go if it can turn on individual devices.
Just have to get a VM setup.
josh
It generally works just like the standard interface, except instead of having power buttons for on/off you click on the device icon.
Let me know here if you have any issues.
I just committed an update that groups devices by room, if you already got it, just grab functions.php and styles.css. I have not updated the screenshot yet.
- I have installed the WinLAMP mini installation
http://winlamp.sourceforge.net/?module=download
2. I have decompressed the source code
3. And configured the config file.
The result is that the page loads with no errors and with tab name showing "incontrol", but the rest of the page is empty.
Any ideas?
I am using the 3.114 version of Incontrol
Most likely it is a PHP problem. Check your web server error log, and there is also a log for the app called api_error.log.
Seems to work pretty well so far. Only issue I've hit is that for lights it can turn off the light but doesn't seem to turn them on.
When the toggle is pressed inControl changes to powered but after a few seconds it switches back to off.
Are you thinking of adding scenes in at some stage in the future?
@ftsikogi
for the IP address of inControl, are you using local host or IP address? there is no http:// in it, just 192.168.xx.xx
Picked that up looking at the logs.
Josh
When you switch something, it should show the status from InControl within 5 seconds. It may depend on how short your InControl polling interval is set for. Mine is set for 5 seconds.
I already have scenes working in the next version, I just haven't uploaded it to GitHub yet. It also shows rooms now.
Incontrol does show the status change but the lights don't go on. After a few seconds it updated back to off (since they didn't turn on) and the the welfare updates as well if that makes sense.
Josh
That is really strange, it works perfectly for me, I have been using it regularly. Just to clarify, are you saying that InControl shows the change temporarily, but the light doesn't come on and then the status changes back to off? Are you using a Z-Stick? Lights work correctly from InControl?
Correct.
Web Off - InControl Off - Light Off
Web On - InControl On - Light Off
Couple of seconds
Web Off - Incontrol Off - Light still Off.
Josh
Correct.
Web Off - InControl Off - Light Off
Web On - InControl On - Light Off
Couple of seconds
Web Off - Incontrol Off - Light still Off.
Josh
So it seems like the web is telling InControl to to turn the light on, but the z-wave signal isn't making it out to the light?
@ahagadorn: how are you sending a power on/off command to InControl?
@Josh: Does the light turn on/off OK if you use the native GUI? If you audit that light, do you get any logs in your logfile.txt suggesting it attempted to turn on/off?
You are running it on Linux, right? It sounds like an older version of functions.php.
I just uploaded the lates version with scene support to GitHub. You can grab the whole thing using the "Download ZIP" button on the lower right. You can just unzip it in your web directory, the only file you need to retain is your config.php, and that is now config.php.sample in the distribution with instructions on renaming it in the README.md for new installations. Let me know if that fixes it, I am still a little new at GitHub.
And thanks for trying it, I need to get your issue fixed.
Andy
Ryan,
This is snipped right out of the code - it works perfectly every time for me. powered is true for any on level, false for off.
[code]setDeviceState?nodeId=".$id."&powered=" . $powered . "&level=".$level."&password=".$pass;[/code]
Josh, you are not by chance double-clicking the icon, are you? Dumb question I know, but it will cause what you describe. Single click is what it expects. <- this="" turns="" out="" to="" be="" false,="" it="" works="" fine="" either="" way,="" single="" click="" or="">
Andy
Hey Josh - what browser are you using?
Hey thanks for doing this, I like the individual activation of devices. It was the main drawback of the other one that was there for a bit.
Light turns on and off okay with InControl's GUI.
Turns off okay with the webpage but not on.
InControl GUI shows that it registers the command from the webpage as the Power Icon lights up but after a second or two it turns off again and the webpages updates back to off.
Running Chrome but have also tried on IE.
have restarted both VMs, the Windows running InControl and Ubuntu 14.04.1 Server running LAMP stack.
Not double clicking.
The log file does sometimes show, but not always:
: Properties requested for device xxxxxxx (Which is the correct light)
: Found device: yes
Hope that helps but I'm not sure what is happening.
Josh
Most likely it is a PHP problem. Check your web server error log, and there is also a log for the app called apierror.log.
I tried to reinstall PHP and apache but with the same results.
The only error I can find from the PHP log is the following:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: visible in C:\xampp\htdocs\functions.php on line 53
apierror.log is empty.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is it completely blank, or do you see two grey boxes? PHP Notice can be ignored, if you get PHP Error, that's a problem. Ar there any errors in the Apache error_log?
Josh,
What kind of device is it? Do you have more than one device and they all act the same way? Do you have a thermostat, and have you tried that?
I am running on Debian, which is the same as Ubuntu. I'm sure we will figure it out, but right now I am stumped. You don't get a question mark for an icon, do you?
One thing to try is if it is defined as a StandardSwitch in IC, change it to DimmerSwitch, or vice-versa. See if that makes it work.

There are no errors in the Apache error_log. I can see the two grey boxes.
There are no errors in the Apache error__log. I can see the two grey boxes.
OK, that's good, it means there is a Javascript problem. Make sure Javascript is enabled in your browser, and if it is, check the Javascript Console in your browser for errors.

I just installed your latest build from github. Now i am able to see 2 links (devices,scenes) and the 2 grey boxes. When i click on devices i get nothing. When i click on scenes i get the list of my scenes with the activate button but with no photos or icons. The layout of the page is not like the one you have on the screenshot.
By clicking on devices i get the following error:
line 61 syntax error

Please grab the latest version from GitHub. Let me know if that fixes it, or at least gives you different errors. Thanks for helping out, I don't have a Windows box set up to test.

When i select devices i still get nothing
When i click on scenes i get the following error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\functions.php on line 383
"http://192.168.1.4/index.php?action=getdevices" gives the following error:

OK, good! Make sure you have the correct data in config.php. If you only have config.php.sample, rename it to config.php and change it to show your InControl server IP, port, and password. These can be found in the InControl GUI under Tools -> Options on the Server tab, you want the Web API port.
Andy
Everything is working now! Thank you!
Only "issue" is that on IE when you select scenes page layout is not the correct one. On chrome is OK
On chrome running on android is fine too.

Excellent! I will fix the IE issue, please don't hesitate to let me know about anything that isn't right.

Grab styles.css from GitHub and see if that helps. I hate IE.
I have aeon multi switches.
I didn't try changing them to dimmers but I do have a dimmer module and that worked fine turning on and off. It appears to be just the switches.
Also with my scenes page it is empty.
Chrome shows blank
IE shows error.
Josh

I hate it also. While playing around i now have a more clear "picture".
Page layout and functionality is fine on IE, on chrome running on android devices and on stock android browser.
Functionality is also fine on Chrome, but page layout is not what it should be although you can use it with no issues.

Line 217 in functions.php looks like this:
[code]... $dev['level'] . ',255,255) ...[/code]
Try changing the FIRST 255 to 99 and let me know if that fixes it.
Also with my scenes page it is empty./index.php?action=scenes

Wow, that's ugly. I suspect you need to clear your cache.

Changing to 99 didn't work. It sets the device to 99 on the webpage but doesn't change the InControl GUI. 255 does change the IC GUI.
The only thing I've just noticed is on the RHS for all of the swithces it shows the Node Id as 0.
All the power points and dimmers have Node numbers.
Maybe that is the issue?
What is the error that IE shows?
IE shows HTTP 500 Internals Server Error, website cannot display the page.

Josh,
Most likely, the log file api_error.log is not writable by the web server user which should be either apache or www-data. If you want to pull down the latest version, it should tell you that instead of throwing the error.
If you could please go to http://

I've emailed two devices to you so hopefully that helps.
Also api.error.log, I've updated from github and still empty scenes. I've also chown and chmod to rwx for all and nobody:nogroup and still the same. Is that what you were after?
thanks Josh
There is a new version available at GitHub that has some enhancements and bug fixes.
I have been working with Josh to get his Multi-Switches working, and he has been a tremendous help in general. I will let everyone know when we have it worked out. As far as I know, all other device types work fine, including thermostats.

Tried the new version but it throws the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in C:\xampp\htdocs\functions.php on line 559
I switched back to your previous version and everything got back to normal.
Andy,
Are you interested in adding Foscam or any other IP cameras to your interface? It would be nice if we could see live feed from our cameras by selecting the device. Currently the device is shown but with no video.
Thank you again for your time

Yes, I have a bunch of IP cameras myself, I will add that and more once I get the basic stuff stable.
The issue with the Aeon multiSwitch has been resolved (Thanks Josh!)
I have switched from using a PHP configuration file to a INI style to make it easier to change options. In the latest version it will tell you how to convert if you are doing an upgrade.
Please give the latest version a try. I am working on more enhancements, including camera support.

Thank you for your help Filippos. Do you have any issues with setting dim level?
No issues. From a PC browser it works flawlessly. From a touch device (tablet,smartphone) it is more difficult to achieve the desired dim level but it is manageable though.
Thanks for everything.
All working well now. The multi switches and the dimmers all work as they should.
Thanks Josh
Josh and Filippos, thank you for your help and patience. I think the basics are working fine now, so I can concentrate on enhancements.
I will be adding a security login screen soon, along with cameras. I already added a room filter, but have not uploaded the changes yet. The room filter is great if you have a lot of devices like I do.
Andy
Andy,
I did notice that when you select a device, the last changed timestamp shows a default value (01/01/1970).
Thank you very much.

That's interesting, it works fine for me - it could be an issue on Windows. When I get time, I will try it on windows.
ahagadorn,
Are you still working on this web interface? have you abandoned it for Ryan's webserver? I am trying to add a schlage deadbolt to it and I am not sure what parameter I would use to figure out if the lock is closed or open. Any experience or ideas? thanks
