Alpha 15

- No more Firmata
- New Arduino code with custom serial communication
- Datalog to SQL Server Database
- Cleaned up Export to HTML
- Scrapped graphs in Labs
- New History tab allows you to select a date range to
  view datalog data in graphs.
- No more 'Adding Devices', instead the program looks
  for sensor names in serial communication message.

Old Changelog:

Alpha 14

- Lots of fixes
- Scrapped the webserver idea; now the program exports all
  of the sensor values to an HTML file which can be hosted
  by something secure like Apache
- Optimized the GUI for use on a tablet pc as a touchscreen
  interface

Alpha 13

- Added a webserver that displays all sensor values.

Warning: Alpha 14 will include the ability to change the
webserver options, but right now it is setup to
automatically run upon starting the program on port 8091.

Too see your sensor values just goto: http://127.0.0.1:8091

Alpha 12

- Can Load / Save Settings
- Fixed 'second' timers

Alpha 11

- Auto Load Settings fixes some issues.
- Fixed Status Labels
- Minor changes

Alpha 10

- Load all Email Settings, Devices, SetPoints, Timers
- Diagnostic Analog Values Fixed

Alpha 9

- Timers are working You can choose On Time / Off Time 
Timer, On Time / For Duration Timer (and set which days 
each timer is active)
- Setpoints added; if you setup a temperature sensor for 
example, then you you couldset 'if the temperature goes 
above 27 degrees Celsius, turn on a pin' (which could be a 
fan)
- All alerts with email are working; they are based on 
StatusLabels MinValue/MaxValue.
- Importing Tabs is easier, and everything is stored in an 
Access Database which can be 'hacked' at will. (There's an 
included example for Ebb and Flow)

Alpha 8

- Minor changes

Alpha 7

What works so far:
1) All Readings from sensors (analog i/o)
2) All Digital Outputs (to control 5V pin off of 
controller, which in turn could run anything you can think 
of; in this case a relay to control something that is 120V 
or 240V or what-ever...)
3) All Graphs / Gauges
4) All Water timers (with any interval you want ---> think 
15 minute water cycle is too much? Customize!)
5) Light Timer
6) Alarm Log (pH too high, pH too low, High Humidty, Low 
Humidity, High Temp, Low Temp, and anything else you can 
think of - reservoir temp, plant temp, lumens, whatever!)
7) Pin Configuration (add/remove sensor, relay, etc or 
change pin) - including device calibration formula - ex: 
1.728x^2 + 0.85x + 10 --> program subs in raw analog value 
for x
8) Email Alert
9) Customizable Interface ---> add a tab for each room and 
the associated stuff you want to control in that room. - 
can add Button, Label, StatusLabel, Gauge, Graph, Image
10) Can Import a new tab now, working on the export ---> 
4/25/2010 (save a page with gauges, buttons, etc and open 
later, or by default)
11) Relay/Interface Box done - might add some acrylic to 
make it look special

Currently working on

1) User log
2) Maybe I'll add webcam support - but there's already so 
many apps that already do this and probably more securely.
3) Waiting for my ethernet module and wireless modules to 
arrive
4) Might need to add an SD card for a log / settings - ~$15
5) I'll add wifi later when I need it
6) Maybe a smart-phone web interface? We'll see, a little 
overkill right now.
7) Independent Arduino Code
8) Manage Events (Add,Remove,Create)?
9) Export Tab - save the layout of all controls

Alpha 6

Well you get the idea
