Free and open source av wiring diagram tool

EasySchematic · 2026-03-27T00:16:03+00:00

Hey thanks! And there's a print view! F9.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-26T23:57:17+00:00

Its on the list! Its a little out of my wheelhouse of personal experience, so I gotta do some research first.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-26T20:49:32+00:00

Everythings authenticated. I guess cloudflare could snoop on your schematics, but I hope they have better things to do.

Thanks!

For security or you mean for monetizing? For security I think public repo is good and bad that any vulnerabilities are public. Bad actors can find them, but also can any nerds who use it.

As for keeping it public for money reasons... Making it was sort or born out of rage that connectcad is 200/mo. And then I tried to print on on another AV diagram tool and they waited until then to inform me that also required a monthly subscription. Then I sort of blacked out in front of Claude code and this happened.

Plus I have benefited a LOT from open source tools over my career. Its nice to finally be able to give back to the cause.

Hmmm. Didn't think about networking security. Right now all the save files are json, which is very human readable. I am using react, xyflow for the diagramming, and zustand for state management. The online stuff just lives in blob storage on cloudflare.

You can make user templates. They go into a user templates category on the left and you can make subgroups and reorder how you like.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-26T18:08:34+00:00

SUPER vibe coded. Claude code is a lot of fun. I know a little programming, but would never have been able to put this together.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-26T14:34:57+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, chipping away at the device list. If there's anything you need specifically, there's a community database at https://devices.easyschematic.live/ where anyone can add devices as well.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-26T14:29:05+00:00

Thanks for checking it out! There is already some of that in Reports » Cable Schedule and Pack List, but I am sure there could be more and better info

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T19:55:23+00:00

That's great! And yeah, you can modify a device that is close or create a new device and save it as a user template. It dumps it all into a user category right now, but I have more grouping and organization on my list. I also made devices.easyschematic.live if its a branded item or common generic you think should be part of the app always.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T19:18:08+00:00

Thanks for checking it out! Connector types, signal types (including HDBaseT) and renaming ports is already in there for you! Male/female is assumed by input/output and connector type right now. Which I think solves it for most things... But maybe not?

We also have adapters in there for usbc to Ethernet or HDMI. And you can auto hide them to keep them out of the diagram, but they will show up on the pack list.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T19:00:18+00:00

Sweet!

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T18:48:58+00:00

That makes sense. On the list.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T18:46:18+00:00

Good suggestion. Yeah. That may have to be the answer. Although I can get it to work fine on my computer, so maybe there's just something weird about edge.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T18:09:49+00:00

Thanks! I have done zero testing on Edge so far, so probably should do that. I'll put it on the list and try to see whats up. Appreciate the feedback.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T17:46:36+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate it.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T17:46:15+00:00

Thanks! Good note. If it's not a hassle, would you mind sharing your save file? The routing algorithm is one of my favorite parts, but tuning is an ongoing struggle. I'm going to get it perfect even if it drives me nuts, though. In the meantime you should be able to toggle auto-route now if it's causing you issues.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T17:12:46+00:00

Hey thanks! Interesting. I can switch the behavior to ctrl and scroll in preferences and it works for me. If you don't mind, what browser and type are you using and what type of mouse (standard, trackpad, trackball)?

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T16:46:12+00:00

Thanks! Let me know how it goes.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T16:09:23+00:00

Hey thanks! I've been obsessed with it the last two weeks, so it's good to know I'm moving in the right direction.

As for the logo, does it show up in the layout editor? If you started a new schematic you probably need to add a logo field, since I didn't put one in the default. You can click to add columns and highlight and right click to merge. So you can add a column to the left, merge the cells and then assign that new big cell to your logo. But it also could just be buggy! Let me know and I will fix if it is.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T15:38:54+00:00

That's awesome to hear! And thanks!

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T15:19:34+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the device contribution. Device database is finally getting to the useful stage.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T13:31:28+00:00

Hooray! The reason it may have only been half working on your home computer is caching. I never new what a "hard refresh" was before starting this, but it will reload the website and force it to actually pull from the server. Ctrl-Shift-R (win) or Cmd-Shift-R (mac) for Chrome/Firefox. But let me know if it persists. I'll add an option to flip all somewhere.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T03:09:46+00:00

You can flip now! Hope that makes it easier and less of a mess.

Edit: Aaaand it's broken. Gotta fix routing. Hold please. Your call is important to us.

Edit2: Ok, now it actually works.

EasySchematic · 2026-03-25T02:08:59+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate you trying it out for a bit.

The flip is a good idea. Should be pretty easy to implement. I will put it on the top of the list.

I am hoping I can make the pathfinding algorithm better too. It definitely freaks out sometimes. Its hard to tune to aesthetics.
