eHVAC: Wireless Modular Multi-Zone HVAC ControllerGroup 14
Michael Trampler EEJavier Arias EE Ryan Kastovich EE Genaro Moore EEOverviewHeatingVentilationAir ConditioningSome provide advanced features such as humidity control and CO2 monitoring/controlScheduling and adaptive set-points will allow the user to reduce the systems run time.Run time data logging will give the user a better understanding of the systems activities
MotivationIncreased cost of electricityGreat cost of commercially available HVAC controllers Limited feature set of commercially available HVAC controllers, especially web enabled controllers
ObjectivesAccurately read temperature and relative humidity both inside and outside building.System management through web appScheduling capabilities CO2 monitoring for a gauge of air qualityZone controlExpandable to multiple zonesWireless connectivity to RSMReduction of energy consumption due to scheduling and set-point controlSimple and easy installation with minimal wiring.

Stellaris Internet ConnectivityModified lwIPhttpd (web server) implementation provided with Stellarisware.
CGI adapter provided by Stellarisware sample code.
unsigned long FindCGIParameter(const char *pcToFind, char *pcParam[], int iNumParams)Searches the list of parameters passed to a CGI handler and returns the index of a given parameter within that list.
long GetCGIParam(const char *pcName, char *pcParams[], char *pcValue[], int iNumParams, tBoolean *pbError)Searches the list of parameters passed to a CGI handler for a parameter with the given name and, if found, reads the parameter value as a decimal number.
unsigned long EncodeFormString(const char *pcDecoded, char *pcEncoded, unsigned long ulLen)Encodes a string for use within an HTML tag, escaping non alphanumeric characters. This function encodes a string, adding escapes in place of any special, non-alphanumeric characters.
unsigned long DecodeFormString(const char *pcEncoded, char *pcDecoded, unsigned long ulLen)Decodes a string encoded as part of an HTTP URI. This function decodes a string which has been encoded using the method described in RFC1738, section 2.2 for URLs.

Operating EnvironmentDevelopment Platform:Google App Engine
Backend Programming Language:Python
Primary Client-Side Scripting Framework:jQuery Mobile (JavaScript)
Why jQuery Mobile?HTML5 and CSS3 CompatibilityWorks on both Android and iOSProfessional Layout for PC, Tablet and Mobile DevicesCompatibility with Firefox, Chrome, Safari and others
Allows for rich touch screen interfaces for mobile devices
Simple SplitviewjQuery Mobile plugin which utilizes white space by splitting the menu options on the left side and the displayed selection on the right
A PC/ Tablet layout will have a split in the middle between these two parts of the web app to fill in the white space
A Mobile layout will fit the menu options to the screen and upon user interaction will display the data PC/ Tablet Landscape View
