If you want a taste of Vb HMI development without a lot of investment time, check out Advanced HMI.
Definitely, don't reinvent the wheel on this. Use Archie's drivers, that's the hard part.

The answer to your question is me

meh; I would be surprised if Github offered naught.My guesses of the biggest hurdles:
SSL email, text message api
meh; same (e.g. MySQL/MariaDB/SQLite).alarm history
we have a winner, along with any other comms drivers, but possibly Github could again come to the rescue.modbus tcp driver
I agree. Unless you want to be in the business of selling your own HMI software.The cost/time of making an HMI from scratch is probably not worth it.
I have done this for a company for a standard piece of plant but it got a bit too much regarding protocols for different PLC's depending on customers requirements etc. after all, why re-invent the wheel.

I will def. have to re-read the lic agreement.
Anyone have any experience doing this?
Is this too much of an undertaking to consider?
What are the biggest hurdles?
