SIMULATED AUTOMATED HOUSE ON A GRAPHICS BACKGROUND
 
     This simulates an automated home with lights, alarm, fans, A/C,
     heat, etc. running under computer control. The house operates in three
     modes.  Mode switching is controlled by the program: The modes are:
  
      A.  The opening mode simulates late evening.
  
      B.  The second mode is bedtime. (A little bedtime mu-zac)
  
      C.  The third mode is night.  (The display will say SNOOZE TIME)
  
      D.  The fourth mode is a wake-up call. (Up and at-em)
  
      E.  The fifth mode is a return to daytime.
  
  Data logging and  house control are  active only in the late evening/daytime
  modes.
  
  The joystick simulates house inside and  outside temperatures and the amount
  of daylight.  Outside temperature  is (inside  temp -  25 /F)  and both  are
  derived from the X  analog input channel.  The Y input channel simulates the
  amount of daylight. The amount of daylight does not initiate mode changes.
  
  If you do not  have a joystick  connected the program is  controlled via the
  keyboard.  The Up/Down cursor arrow keys control the inside temperature. The
  Left/Right  cursor  arrow  keys  control  the  outside  temperature  and the
  PgUp/PgDn cursor keys control the amount of daylight.
  
  Green lights  appearing  on the  graphics display  simulate  that particular
  device turning on or being operable.
  
  Analog inputs will not change during the following conditions:
  
      A. When changing modes.
  
      B. When data logging/printing.
  
      C. When playing music.

                                                                         PAGE 2

  
  DISCUSSION OF EACH MODE
  
  
  
  
  
  LATE EVENING
  
  Slowly move  the joystick,  you will  observe the  temperature and  daylight
  analog  inputs  vary.  Devices  will  turn  on  and  off according  to their
  setpoints.  (They are given later). The timer under "TIME TILL BEDTIME" will
  countdown.  The timer  is  set to  2 minutes in  the demo.  (Don't worry the
  program repeats for as much play time as you wish).
  
  The  garage  door  operates  in  a  open/close  mode  from  the joystick  #1
  pushbutton.  In the keyboard  mode this function  is from the  letter G key.
  (Press and hold the key).
  
  
  Device setpoints:
  
  attic fan               on if inside temp > 90
  
  attic vent              open if outside temp > 90
  
  upstair hall lights     on if daylight < 40%
  
  upstair heat zone       on if inside temp < 68
  
  upstair A/C             on if inside temp > 76
  
  porch light             on if daylight < 25%
  
  living area             on if inside temp > 73
  ceiling fan
  
  living area A/C         on if inside temp > 73
  
  living area heat        on if inside temp < 68
  
  Hot water                on if inside temp < 48+80
  
  furnace                on if inside temp < 60
  
  water lawn              water if daylight <30%
                          & outside temp > 90 /F)
  
  warm car                warm if outside temp <30,
                          daylight > 60% & daytime mode)
  
  greenhouse fan          on if outside temp > 90
  
  greenhouse vent         open if outside temp > 68
  
  greenhouse auto water   water if outside temp > 90

  BEDTIME
  
  
  When the  timer  reaches 0  the program plays  taps (retreat),  locks in any
  devices turned on,  locks up the  house and turns  on alarms in all areas in
  the   downstairs,   and  non-occupied   area,  initializes   the  greenhouse
  auto-watering system.
  
  Analog signals freeze during this period.
  
  
  
  SNOOZE TIME
  
  
  
  The analog readings are active but everything else locks up.
  
  SNOOZE  TIME  is active  for a  minute  and then  the WAKE-UP  CALL mode  is
  initiated.
  
  
  WAKE-UP CALL
  
  
  Wake-up mode is just for fun.  A little reveille!! reveille in and about the
  decks for  the troops.  Everything is still  locked up.  Also shows  off the
  screen stuff, changing colors and such. Very easy to do.
  
  
  DAYTIME
  
  
  Just like  the time  till bed  mode.  The program just  keeps repeating from
  here.
