I use AHMI for home automation and found it to be very reliable, robust and flexible for viewing / monitoring purposes. I think opc data storage could be improved....

So I would like to see enhancements made to the basic data logger to allow simple time & date logging of opc data items ( including TAG name plus plcaddress ref) and their status (ie good/bad) to  external log/csv/etc files in user selectable time frame eg each hour/day/week/month and with the option of the log file data over write after eg X weeks/months/years. Also user selectable sample interval to record the opc data with start/stop times (scheduleing) for each log file would be a big bonus. Another good option would be to be able to set the number of decimal places of each opc data item before it is logged(file space saving). From the log files the data can be sliced and diced however the user wants to display it by use of 3rd party applications. Another alternative is to popplate a database with the opc data. Eitherway easy access to opc history is of growing importance to me.

I would also like to see easier population of the plcaddress details by incorporating online/live data opc items list that feature in 3rd party opc explorers. This will help avoid taping errors for opc items.

Hope this helps

Not sure if the really applies here ,

One thing I don't want to see, is for advance HMI to go the way of the new style of programing your see on phones and all over the internet now , Im not sure what is being called , flat style , 2d , clean , flat style icons , I really don't know . I worked on a job recently where the new HMI's where done that way and no one like it to say the least , all the displays where very bland looking , flat style icons and is wasn't easy to tell differences on the screen. When something is highlighted , you shouldn't have to look for 3 min's to find it on a screen. Something changes , you want to be able to easily see it . 

Now on the other hand HMI's  done with ADHMI ,where eye popping , and done with proper colors and graphics and easy to see , In industrial setting this is what you want , less likely to make mistakes.

I love this product , But If Advance HMI every goes to this new style , I for one will stop using it.

When you add a new Windows form it always shows up as white background, 300x300 size.

Could you add a way to change the new form defaults so I can make them with the background and screen size for the project I am working on at the time? Then I change the defaults when I start a new project.
I posted a tip on one way to achieve this. See it here:

If it's not already a thing, and if it is please inform me how to do this, an implementation for Universal Apps would be good.

That will be coming in the future. All of the drivers are being updated for compatibility in UWP.

It would be nice to configure the number of digits in the gauge, or have at least 4 digits.
I wanted to display motor rpms with it, but couldn't get more than 999 :-(.

Thanks!
Found time to test that today. Works after some minor user issues.

I miss a LIKE Button here in the Forum :-).

First thanks a lot for all the work that had been done with AHMI !

I tested (or almost tried...) a lot of HMI softwares around and I ended up with this one that seemed the simplest to install and implement and on the same time opening a lot of possibilities !

I suppose that now one of the best values to add might be new Components. For example compressors, up/down switches, lights...
