Wes Hatchett is CEO of ControlEnvy. ControlEnvy is an open-source software based control system.
Wes and the ControlEnvy team were one of the first podcast interviews in Epsiode 6.
Interview Highlights
- Can run on Android.
- Has a setup configuration interface that includes troubleshooting and debug tools.
- Chose to focus on Android because it continues to outpace even laptops in processing power.
- Sample application: Google Pixel 4a installed in a rack connected via WiFi.
- A Mac Mini can also be used when a hard-wired appliance is required.
- The system is driven by states stored in a local data store.
- Paths are used to access components in the data store through logic macros.
- Shifting from completely custom programming projects to a product based model allows for better update management. Old systems benefit from feature updates instead of standing still.
