B4J is really much like B4A except the GUI. Allot the the non GUI code is the same.
So I think your non GUI code in B4A can be moved over to B4J.

On a side note, I still sometimes still write DBase II code (DOS) in B4A.
And sometimes B4A code in VB.NET (my job)
And then sometimes my C# looks like Java and i think my head might explode!

B4A runs on PCs.. do you want to control your stuff from your desktop computer? if yes:
then why don't you use vb?

You are right....but what about controlling your home from the internet? do you think that B4J can build web page to control your home via the internet??

Hardware block diagram for minimum system to interface android device with triac or relay arrays.
The RF module has built-in MCU than can be programmed in C to accept custom commands through the bluetooth module to send the required outputs at the 4-bit output port, that are directly connected to the 4-bit input port of the relay board.

BTW: What specification do you want in the HA controller (number of devices, channels (digital-analog), device
load (how many watts per line) type of load (inductive, conductive...etc).. A/C or DC?

Hi DonManfred

I see the example and i found it good. I want to ask another question, do we need to build a web page by Java to interact with the mobile http server?

i understand that i can build the server on my mobile and access the server from any PC connected to the internet via The IP of my mobile......The question is.....when i type the IP address on the PC browser....what happens? is the corresponding web page appears? or what?
The web page need to be build by Java or it is already built ?

I've a home automation client for Android made with B4a and the controller is a C# app (Insteon and X10) that run over Windows Embedded 8... but i want to migrate to Z-Wave and put all the IA in Android only.

If you found a Z-Wave controller in Java that run on Android, please advise
