Hello,
how do you get such interior plans ? Are they made by the Freedomotic software or is it one of those “static background image”s you’ve made a reference to ?
In the latter case, which software can be used to draw this kind of inside plans ?
Thank you,
Ivan (France)
Hi Ivan,
the background is a static image found in Internet. You can also personalize it using your floor plan.
You can create 3d models using sketchup or sweethome 3d.
Regards
Freedomotic
You can also use http://www.floorplanner.com, which is free for 1 project, so just enough to draw your house 🙂
Soitjes.
Thanks! (back from week-end).
ive used this for 10 minutes . . . . its HORRIBLE! keeps force closeing – unstable, thought it was my PC so i tryed it on my server ( WS2003R2 ) the same!
it seems so unflexible too, i cant see how this software can compare to any others ive used? and i cant see this running in a single room let alone a commercial environment!?
as always, IMHO

Hi all
Freedomotic 5.6 Commander RC2 is out and can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedomotic/files/freedomotic-commander-…
We fixed some bugs and in particular included the first draft of a web client.
After starting Freedomotic go to http://localhost:8090 in your browser and digit admin/admin as username/password.
You can access from another pc in your network by changing in the previous URL “localhost” with the ip of the machine running Freedomotic.
The web client doesn’t have all features included in the java frontend but they can run at the same time.
If you want to use only the web client please remove the folder “frontend-java” under plugins/devices.
We need your help in different areas:
– testing (not all browsers are 100% html5-compatible)
– functionality
– usability/UX
– graphics/layout
…
