Ryelec Graphics FAQs
Ryelec has a range of icon packs, background wallpapers packs, and sample projects available in our store. Ryelec’s in-house graphic designer/programmer develops all of these. We also have a range of scripting modules available to use with Clipsal C-Bus projects – we are certified Schneider Electric EcoXperts.
Our sample projects and scripting modules are developed on a Clipsal C-Bus SpaceLogic 5500AC2/NAC2 Automation Controller. However, since the sample projects also include icons, images and backgrounds separately, you are welcome to use these with any other automation system or project. The C-Bus SpaceLogic Automation Controller is essentially a rebadged KNX LogicMachine so our sample projects can also be loaded onto a LogicMachine, however our example objects and scripts may not load properly. We can provide further assistance if you need.
Our sample projects make working with the Configurator as simple as possible, however, the packages are developed expecting you to have some prior knowledge of working with the systems. We’re confident that our sample projects include all the design components you could possibly need to create a full automation system though, so we encourage you to challenge yourself if you don’t have much experience. The user manuals also hold invaluable information that will greatly expand your knowledge. Overall, the sample projects are pre-programmed as much as possible so that your automation experience doesn’t matter, but it is the further programming to get everything functioning where your prior experience helps. To learn more about programming, refer to Clipsal training or other automation educative platforms. Ryelec can also offer additional support should you require it.
Ryze is our latest graphics pack, Zenith is it’s predecessor. Zenith is available in a residential and commercial version, while the Ryze sample project can be modified to suit either. Ryze includes both a dark and light version. Both Ryze and Zenith include iPad, touchpanel and phone sample projects but Ryze also includes Web Browser version. Zenith uses wallpaper images as backgrounds, while Ryze uses solid backgrounds to avoid borders. Zenith simulates a complete automation system with a full object list and widgets per room. Ryze uses more of an example-based design with a small object list and example widgets that you can duplicate and modify. Zenith features a lot of centered-design, whereas Ryze uses left-aligned text for faster editing. Ryze has been refined further than Zenith to make your job as quick and simple as possible. Both Zenith and Ryze result in modern and stylish automation systems, it is up to you to decide which sample project would suit the building best.
Zenith residential is for home automation systems. The sample project is based around a two-storey home with 15 rooms – indoor and outdoor lighting, blinds, climate control, towel rails, floor heat, fans, pool/spa control, irrigation, energy monitoring, security and more. The sample project is easily modified for smaller or larger homes. The included stock library folder has 111 diverse background images of stunning residential spaces.
Zenith commercial is for commercial automation systems. The sample project is based around a restaurant/bar with 8 areas – interior and exterior lighting, blinds/curtains/louvres/awnings, climate control, heaters, fans, security, irrigation and energy monitoring. The sample project can be edited to suit any commercial space – the included stock library folder has 116 diverse backgrounds images of varying commercial spaces – bars, restaurants, offices, hotels etc. Or load your own photos of the actual space in and use the Zenith background overlays to make them suitable for background display. The residential and commercial packages include all the same Zenith icons.
The Zenith Starter package is the smaller, compact, refined version of the Residential & Commercial packages. It is designed to be an introduction to working with the software and with Zenith. We understand that some automation projects don’t have all the fancy integrations and instead just have the fundamentals – lighting, blinds and climate control. So, Zenith Starter is made for these smaller projects with a simpler navigation, refined object list and easier editing. It still features all the custom CSS/javascript & scripting, and still includes all the Zenith icons. It also includes 60 stock photo backgrounds for both homes and venues, so Zenith Starter can be modified to suit either. It does not include the custom smartphone project from the Zenith complete packages, but is instead preprogrammed to be displayed on the default smartphone visualisation app.
It is essentially a smaller, simpler version of Zenith but still with all Zenith’s awesome design features – just less page inclusions and preprogramming.
Our sample projects are exported and packaged up based on device. Your download folder will include these sample projects in a few device options so that you can choose the most suitable for your job to restore.
The design and navigation of device formats are relatively identical, with the page size being the notable difference. iPad packages are suitable for display on Apple iPads, with page sizes and background images at 1024×768. These pages will scale to fit any iPad. Touchscreen packages are for display on touchpanels such as the Clipsal Ethernet Touchpanel. The pages and backgrounds are made to suit screen sizes of 1280×800. Web Browser versions are for full big screen display at 1920x1080px. Both iPad and Touchscreen packages include an identical smartphone project. SVG format icons display incredibly high-definition on screens, no matter how big or small they are resized. As such, SVG format icons are used for the iPad & Smartphone projects. Unfortunately, the Clipsal Ethernet Touchpanels have a scaling issue with SVG icons, so Touchscreen projects uses PNG icons instead. The PNG icons are still high quality and look great, but will distort slightly upon major resizing.
A one-time payment gets you unlimited access to your chosen graphics files so you can use it on as many of your projects as you like. All sample projects also include the SVG and PNG icons separately, along with all the background images and shapes. Our graphics are designed to take hours of work off your shoulders and transform the automation systems you’re developing.
Automation systems are diverse so the Ryelec graphics pack that suits your project best may differ from project-to-project. We have a wide variety of icons and example projects to choose from, so to encourage you to expand your graphics library, we offer an automatic discount of 10% when your purchase multiple items from our graphics store.
