Ron,

Ziet er netjes uit.
Worden de status schermen ververst zonder een volledige pagina opbouw?
Scan je echt alle boodschappen?
Dat krijg ik thuis met de familie niet voor elkaar.

Some have auto refresh, they refresh complete, but it is so fast you hardly see it. I have to take a closer look at Gambas EVENTS, so I only refresh if something has changed, but it's no big issue now.

I have only 12 products scanned, if these where the only ones I use, it wouldn't look so good for my health.
But I have bought a barcode scanner once, and I have promised myself to write some code for it to see if it works, and it does.

Dear Ron,

With the current recession more people start to buy their groceries at Aldi and Lidl instead of AH, both using mostly 8 character barcodes. Before I start "hacking" myself are you planning to support these as well in the future ?

Regards, Bram

Hi,

I was thinking about this as well, but first I have to do a bit more work on the EIB module and debug the LIRC code.
But why not take the barcode scanner a bit further and link it to something like http://nl.barcodepedia.com/

If a product isn't in the DomotiGa database then it will do a lookup in http://nl.barcodepedia.com/ and download that information to the local database.

about barcodepedia, i dont see any api's to connect to it (or is it me?) and last update in the News was 2007..

You are right,

So we would have to parse the HTML output. Or start an online database of our own.

Opensource witch an API so we can use it form all kinds of projects.

Shorter barcodes is possible, but the current code counts the lenght of the input string, if the minimal required lenght have been supplied, it starts to parse/look it up so you can inject codes without CR/LF/ENTER at the end. My barcode reader can be configured to put a CR or whatever after the barcode string, so we can look for that character instead, making shorter codes work.

In my development version I also have support for images of the products, so you see which 'Pindakaas' you have scanned. I downloaded those manually from http://webwinkel.ah.nl/, it would be nice if someone could find the related between the numbers in the name of the images on the ah wenwinkel and the barcode of a product, if the products are somewhere reachable via this site, we could download/parse, the name, price, description and product image from the site
But please don't tell me someone is actually using this on a daily base, I just made that for fun. [:o)]

[:I][:I][:I]ehhh i wanted to start using it on a daily base to be honest, but just for my fridge. What I also do is use a list of groceries I bought in the past as a reference and just tick "Yes/No" to create a shopping list.

Best regards, Bram

When I look to this page it work nice
