iRidium software package enables control of smart homes from any mobile devices, smart phones and tablets based on iOS, Android, Windows and OS X. Smart phones and tablets, as a rule, travel with their owners, no matter where they go to work in the office or to rest abroad. And owners of smart homes want to know what is going on in their houses when they are away. And here we come across a reasonable question,<\/p>\n

How to realize remote control of Smart Home?<\/h3>\n

iRidium offers 2 ways of remote control:<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If the automation system, you work with, uses \u0422\u0421\u0420\/IP as a transport protocol, you can connect remote clients without extra work. All you have to do is to set up a router and make a rule for switching between the local and the external connection interfaces.<\/li>\n
  2. Other automation systems receive commands via UDP or even RS232. This way of transmitting data is less reliable. It\u2019s not protected, and loss of data is possible. That\u2019s why iRidium offers to use iRidium Gate, software gateway, that is launched on the automation project and supports reliable stable connection with the external world and give some useful capabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In both cases (direct connection and via iRidium Gate) control panels that are in the Internet connect to the system using its external address and \u0422\u0421\u0420\/IP connection. When a control panel is in the same IP-net with the controlled equipment, it uses the local IP address.<\/p>\n

    To realize switching between the local and the external connection interfaces, iRidium offers a simple and easily- scalable method. This method includes creating buttons to switch connection modes with the equipment. It doesn\u2019t take long to make them, and they may look, the way your customer wants it.<\/p>\n

    How to set switching between local and external interfaces?<\/h3>\n

    We\u2019ll show how to set up switching between the local and external interfaces using as an example KNX IP BAOS router.<\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s start with basics: iRidium has a special script function responsible for changes in connection settings \u2013 SetParameters<\/b>. It is set in the Script Editor, but no knowledge of programming is required for this. It is set this way:<\/p>\n

    1. Open Java Script Editor<\/b> in iRidium GUI Editor. iRidium has a built-in programming language, based on Java Script.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    2. Open sample module with the SetParameters function:<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Press Add Script from File and download a ready script for KNP IP BAOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    You can find scripts for other automation systems<\/b> in iRidium Wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    3. Setup the Set Parameters<\/b> function (it can be copied as many times as required):<\/p>\n

    <\/center> <\/p>\n

    A project must have at least 2 functions SetParameters: one \u2013 to call local connection settings, the other \u2013 to call external connection settings. It\u2019s impotant for each function to have a unique name (Internal, External, \u2026). A ready function looks like this:<\/p>\n

    \n

    function<\/span> External<\/span>()<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    {<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0IR.GetDevice(“KNX BAOS 771\/772<\/span><\/b>“).SetParameters({Host: “215.215.10.10<\/span><\/b>“, Port: “12004<\/span><\/b>“, UpdateTime: “0<\/span><\/b>“});<\/span><\/p>\n

    }<\/span><\/p>\n
