Control your home with a website

We have made an HTML interface for the Qbus controller and put the demo online so people can try it:
http://qbus.aaltra.eu/eqoweb/
It is a demo version, and you will not actually do anything yet, so feel free to play around with it. Everytime you refresh, the values are reset.
The interface is compatible with iPhone, and when you make a homescreen bookmark it is a fast way to access your home controls.
Some technical details:
The full interface had to be less than 256K with the biggest file size of 64K per file and as least as possible amounts of request. This demo version still has multiple requests, but the final one will do with 3 initial: 2 images and 1 html (html, css and javascript combined)
Communication between the controller and the website will be done with JSON, letting the controller only do the essential work and not the layout.
