23.Device Controller



In this post I'll show you about the device controller.To use this application we need to have the home automation unit which will show in future posts.



This application also located in the quick launch panel.And I'll show you how it works.



1.Serial Connection

If we want to connect the home automation unit with the application via a data cable , we need to select this option.

2.Wireless Connection

If we want connect the home automation unit with the application via Wi-Fi , we need to select this option.Before we select this option we need to power up the automation unit & set the IP address of the unit in the automation settings.

3.Switches

After we select an above option , it will connect with the home automation unit.Then by clicking this buttons , we can switch on / switch off the electrical devices.


Please see the below video to know how this option works.




In next post I'll show you about the device scheduler.

22.Message Encryptor - Decryptor



In this post I'll show about the message encrypt-decrypt application.We can use this for secret messaging or to encrypt the confidential data.


As following image , this application is located in the quick launch panel.And when we click the icon as follow , it will open the application as below.



Encrypting a Text


To encrypt a text , first we need to type the text int the editor pane(1). Then click the encrypt(2) button.And it will open another window for set a password for the encryption as below.


After we set the password click the OK button.Then it will show the encrypted message as below.


We can select & copy this encrypted message.


Decrypting a Text

To decrypting a text , we need to copy the encrypted message into editor pane(1).


Then click the decrypt button(2). Then it will open another window for asking the decrypt code.


In here we have to give the same code which we used to give in encryption.Then click the OK button.


Then it will decrypt the message & show the original text in the editor pane.

Below video will show how this application works.



In next post I'll show you about the device controller application.


 

21.Folder Locker



In this post I'll show about the folder locker & how to use it.



As following image folder locker's shortcut is located in the quick launch panel.The benefits of this application are ,

  • Can create a locker folder in anywhere
  • Can create more than 1 locker & each can lock with a separate password
  • Able to zip the files or the folders which adds to the locker




There are two methods to lock the filed & those are,

  • High secured mode (HSM)
  • Low secured mode(LSM)

High Secured Mode(HSM)

In HSM , it copies all the selected files into the locker folder & zips all the files.Then merge an image to the zipped file.And lock the folder with a password.This method takes much time to complete the process & the duration depends with the quantity of files which we have selected.

This is the way to execute this method,
