We are happy that Sweet Home 3D contributes to these new connected houses developments and hope there will be more and more experiences like those. Screenshots of Yannick Proof of concept video He distributed the source code of his proof of concept with detailed instructions in habpanel-3dview GitHub repository. On the forum of OpenHab (developed in Java), we noticed a year ago a more sophisticated use: Yannick Schaus embedded the WebGL 3D view of Sweet Home 3D JS viewer into HABPanel dashboards and customized it to let the user interact with devices shown in 3D. Still on Reddit, we found another interesting message posted by Aaron Godfrey aka Boralyl, with a video showing interactions in Home Assistant on a two floor house designed with Sweet Home 3D.Īaron gives more details in his blog where he explains his approach, tips about creating a floorplan in Sweet Home 3D and then how to create an interactive 3D floorplan in Home Assistant. Integrated with smart devices symbols that allows the user to light rooms or not, it gives a very nice interface, like shown in MattTheBrofessor video and Loonysup video. On Reddit, we found interesting posts about Home Assistant showing the lighted rooms of a home in 3D, with images assembled from different realistic renderings computed in Sweet Home 3D with certain lights on or off. Thank you Jeedom team, we hope to watch many new examples soon! Very recently, was introduced in Jeedom the ability to import a Sweet Home 3D design exported at OBJ format in a zipped file, as explained in this user's guide, in order to navigate in a home and manipulate devices. Jeedom contest: Florent306 proposal for an interface for smart security devices At least five of the competitors used Sweet Home 3D. A few years ago, following the same idea, an interface contest was organized by Jeedom, a French company which proposes a domotic solution. Domoticz interface looks quite simple but this tutorial kindly proposed by Tutomotique, an interesting blog in French, shows the way to install and link Domoticz icons in an image designed with Sweet Home 3D. Here are some different approaches they performed with Sweet Home 3D. Some of the developers or users of these software solutions experimented bridges between such smart home software and free interior design applications in order to propose realistic and customized interfaces for their DIY (Do It Yourself) home automation. Development for house-hold items like lighting, heating, security systems, voice-actived assistants actually benefits from important investments.īut it is obviously the domotic open source community which interests us today, especially the different home automation platforms which drive devices, like OpenHab, Home Assistant, Domoticz, Jeedom which have the biggest communities, according to different press articles. An evidence? The GAFA are making expensive acquisitions or develop their own software or devices: Google (Nest, Google Home.), Amazon (Ring, Alexa.), Apple (HomeKit), Samsung (SmartThings), etc. The Smart home - also named connected house, domotic, or automation - market is quickly growing. As more and more users report how they use Sweet Home 3D designs within such software, we decided to write this article to show their achievement. It seemed logical and natural that some connections between Sweet Home 3D and smart buildings software gradually set up.
