Question
laurgh 4
Hello,
I am trying to create in HC3 a quick app which is controlling my DAIKIN air condition units. The interface and possibilities offered by quick app are very limited, especially from controls point of view where I have access to buttons, labels and sliders. I'm struggling actually to write code in order to avoid different operator actions(I mean, I would like to make this interface usable by anybody not only by myself): for example it would be nice to have the possibility to disable one button if the action performed by that button is already performed (if the AC unit is in AUTO mode I would like to disable the AUTO button) or it would be nice to have the possibility to change the colour of some controls (for example if for some reason I am losing the connection with the AC unit I would like to show a message to the operator but in red colour).
Anyway, at the end I am sure that I will be able to control the AC units by using this quick app but still there is a lot of place to improve in order to make it more user friendly. Can you imagine that I have to set the temperature by moving a slider. More than that, because I have no possibility to change the limits of the slider, I have to write a lot of code which is actually ignoring or issuing some error messages when wrong values are selected. Is not a big deal of writing code but there is a huge difference between DAIKIN app interface and the interface which I can design in Quick App. See below some screenshots.
Is there any possibility to call some external apps from HC3, for example the apps designed by DAIKIN for managing the AC units. Or, do I have the possibility to call some routines which are programmed in some other programming languages which are a bit more flexible?
Thanks in advance,
Laurentiu
