WebUI Setup
WebUI feature is available for LightAct server license only.
Overview
WebUI enables you to setup custom user interface and control LightAct from any device's browser connected to the same network as LightAct.
Setup
First look up your IP address in Command Prompt. Open Command Prompt as administrator and type ipconfig. Copy your IPv4 adress.
Open http-server.exe and look up your port number. You can find it under C:\WebUI 4\dist\http-server.exe
Good to know: If you cannot fine http-server.exe file on your server, feel free to contact us at support@lightact.com.
Open LightAct, go to Project Settings, and under General, enable Enable REST & WebUI.
Open any web browser and type your IP and Port, followed by /index.html, for example "192.168.0.111:8000/index.html".
If WebUI doesn't receive data, uncheck Enable REST & WebUI button and then check it again. Ensure that the device you are trying to access WebUI on is in the same network on which LightAct is running.
You can add custom variables by dragging a Local variable to a Global variable group or by directly adding a Global variable.
Make sure to expand the right side window enough to see WebUI icon. Click on it to enable the variable in WebUI.
Successful configuration should look something like this.
You can also set the Default value and Min and max value.
All global variables, that have the WebUI button enabled should be visible in WebUI.
