This is my first contact with arduino and related devices.
This thread seems to at least partly contain a way to my target:
I have a home automation miniserver (www.loxone.com) which also can interpret UDP commands. So, I think about a way to build up a kind of (stand alone) single room controller, consisting of a simple keypad in each room, which sends an impuls to the arduino device whereas each key is intended to launch an UDP signal.
Is this possible and what devices would I have to purchase for such a project?
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <Client.h>
// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
// MAC address
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
byte ip[] = { 192,168,0,50 };
byte server[] = { 192,168,0,100 }; // mio computer
Client client(server, 80);
// pin button:
const int button2Pin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int button3Pin = 3;
// variables will change:
int button2State = 0;
int button2StateOld = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
int button3State = 0;
int button3StateOld = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
// Initialize the Ethernet client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
// that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):
void setup() {
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(button2Pin, INPUT);
pinMode(button3Pin, INPUT);
// start the Ethernet connection:
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
// initialize serial:
Serial.begin(9600);
// initialize ethernet:
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
// if connect show on serial:
if (client.connect())
Serial.println("connected");
else {
// if not connect:
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
}
void loop ()
{
loop1 ();
loop2 ();
}
void loop1 ()
{
button2StateOld=button2State;
button2State = digitalRead(button2Pin);
// check if the pushbutton is pressed.
// if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (button2State != button2StateOld) {
if (button2State == HIGH){
client.connect();
Serial.println("pin2 high");
client.println("POST /link1.php");
client.println();
client.stop();}
}
delay (500);//end delay before loop starts again
}
void loop2 ()
{
button3StateOld=button3State;
button3State = digitalRead(button3Pin);
// check if the pushbutton is pressed.
// if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (button3State != button3StateOld) {
if (button3State == HIGH){
client.connect();
Serial.println("pin3 high");
client.println("POST /link2.php");
client.println();
client.stop();}
}
delay (500);//end delay before loop starts again
}
what do you think ? its good ? can i make improvements ?
I have introduced our new project KSduino in the 'ksduino' topic of this forum group. You can connect you Arduino to the KSduino web site and monitor & control your device through internet.
