What is you preferred HMI design ?

Post by LittleBit »

Hi domotica friends,

Every day we are installing/using webdevices.
A router or a webcam, or a HA-system or whatever webdevice.
Some use plain old vanilla HTML
some have a dynamic design with Flash included.
What device has a HMI (Human Machine Interface) for the webpages,
you believe looks great and almost deserves a design price ?
(a picture or URL for the look would be nice).

OK, that looks great
but is not a webpage design for a device.
Let me try to give you an example with the OpenBrabo webpage.http://ostatic.com/files/OpenBravoERP.png
So I hope somebody will tell: wow... the <company-X> new device <model-Y> has a great hi-tech configuration menu.
Or perhaps easier: What is the greatest webpage for setting an IP-address ;-)

It's ajax, and open-source so you can learn from the source code.

Ron.
