Main Window This is the main window of the GUI that is opened when the program is run. The main window has quick-menu tools to close the program quickly and to read the program information. In the body of the main window are four widgets bound around a fixed body of text. The text will act as a welcome screen as well as to give small instructions to the user. Each of the widgets around the text will act as push buttons to the subdivisions by which they are labeled.
Media The media panel will consist of basic playback controls, song selection controls, current song and progress, and volume control. The basic playback controls will be a Play button to start playback and a Stop button to stop it. The song selection controls will be a Previous Song button and a Next Song button. The Volume controls will be a slider bar with a numeric indicator next to the slider bar for displaying the current volume. The design is currently to have 10 levels of volume. The current song and progress bar will display the song currently playing and it’s percentage of played.
Temperature As of right now, the only output from the temperature facet of the smart home will be a highly accurate, temperature reading. Because of this, only an LCD number displaying the current temperature is made to be on the Temperature window. Until the design is refined to obtain more information, display more content, or increase the functionality, the temperature display box may be implemented permanently in the main window along with other information (date, time, etc.).
Lighting The lighting panel will consist of control of the lighting intensity, current intensity, and a basic on/off input. The control of the light intensity is operated by a scroll bar. The intensity displayed is dependent upon the scroll bar, and since there is no feedback, the lighting system must be initiated with the GUI in order to produce accurate readings. The ON and OFF buttons are simple push buttons to turn the light on or off.
Security The security panel will consist of door unlock, alarm disable, and broken window detection. The door unlock push button will send a signal to the system for a 5 second duration to open the lock. An adjacent text box will give the current status. The alarm in the security circuitry will be disabled from a push button on the GUI interface. The GUI will receive a signal when the network senses the window has been or is broken. As for now, simply a check box that is local to the program.
