HAD installation and customization

In order to customize HAD, you need to download and install it.

The latest HAD release can be downloaded here: Link to be supplied soon.

You will also need a web page editor, and some basic web development skills.

You have the choice of installing your customized HAD on your own web server, or on ISY, provided that you own the ISY networking module. The easiest option for a first try is to install it on your ISY. However, it is difficult to constantly make changes to your web page and send it to ISY each time. For development purposes, having your own web server makes the process much easier. However, you will need to setup what is called a transparent proxy. The basic principle is that http calls to /rest/* needs to be redirected to http://your_isy/rest

Using a proxy also has the added benefit that you can skip the ISY authentication by providing the user and password to ISY automatically.

You can use the following Transparent ISY proxy from nstein: http://sites.google.com/site/isyajax/other-tools-php-code
