Custom Web Interfaces

  • BLUE
  • GREY
  • NAVY
  • DARK
  • BETA
  • ARCHIVE
  • QUERY FRAMEWORK

All Pharos controllers have a built-in web server that provides a browser-accessible web interface. This interface can be used for remote management and control of a Pharos system. The default web interface can be customised to bring a richer environment to various screen sizes, mobile devices and tablets. Example custom interfaces can be downloaded below.

For more information on using a Custom Web Interface please see our Designer 2 Online Help.

Starter Web Interfaces

The Pharos Starter Web Interfaces can be used immediately on an existing project, or as a starting point for your own custom web interface. Control elements are dynamically generated based on information in your Pharos Designer 2.4 (or greater) project file without the need for triggers. The interface is responsive and will automatically adjust to accommodate most desktop and mobile device screen sizes.

We have provided the same Starter interface in four colour themes for you to choose from. The downloadable .zip files contains the interface files and a “Read Me” document that covers the installation of the interface to your project files, as well as the overall theory of operation.

NOTE: These starter interfaces only operate in a single controller project as they are optimised to require no setup and be easy to use. If you have more that one controller in your project, please contact support for an enhanced interface and instructions on how to add it to your multiple controller project.

Beta Release

The following Custom Web Interface was developed in-house to be a responsive, instantly usable interface. This is open source, and free for anyone to use on any of their projects without royalties; it serves as an example of how one can create a custom web interface within Designer that can suit any need you have.

This interface will respond to various screen sizes, and will scale to meet your tablet, smartphone or laptop. It will also utilise the new propagation system introduced in API v5, allowing for the interface to natively work with multi-controller projects without additional steps required.

The usual caveats apply here; this is a beta release, and so we cannot guarantee flawless functionality. Please bear this in mind before using the following on a live project.

Starter Web Interface 6.1.1

Designer v2.9.x only (API v6)

A responsive, automatically generating interface that adapts to your project, using the new authentication changes introduced in 2.9 (API v6).

PHAROS QUERY FRAMEWORK

Within the Pharos controller’s Web Server, there is a built in JavaScript “Query” library which adds functionality to directly link the web interface to the internal functionality of the controller.

The example below lays out the framework of a HTML web page and shows how to import and use the Query library to start some timelines.

Archive

The Starter interfaces below are designed to work with the Controller API used in Designer v2.2, and are not optimised for Designer 2.3 or greater.

Note: If upgrading to a version of Designer greater than 2.3.0, please ensure that the Project Property “API version” is set to Legacy, otherwise these interfaces will not work properly.
