Displaying / accessing Node devices in HAD

[paulbates]

Hi Benoit

 

Is there anything special in the syntax for HAD for accessing Node devices? I have pages I created previously that I want to update refer to node devices. I haven't tried changing it yet, I wanted to see if there was anything special to know.

 

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

 

Benoit is on vacation so it might take a while before you get any response. This said, we have not done anything with nodes on either HAD or UDAjax.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Hey Michel

 

I was looking at it this morning. I can display variables in HAD, and move node values into variables. A few short ISY statements / programs and it looks like my HAD pages are back in business!

 

Thanks

Hi Paul,

 

Thanks so very much for the update (and I am surprised!).

 

With kind regards,

Thanks Michel, 

 

The HAD page displays HVAC cycle counts and runtimes as variables. In the past, the runtimes came from variables from io_guy's venlink. In the new node server world and NodeLink for venstar, these became node devices. I was able to make up the gap by using variable assignment statements. 

 

The easiest way is to check if any mode is running, if it is, copy the runtimes over every 30 seconds. I assume the burden of the copy is low on the ISY. This method meant no changes to the HAD page, which I don't touch that often an not the fastest at.

If
        'HVAC / Family Room' Heat/Cool State is Heating
     Or 'HVAC / Family Room' Heat/Cool State is Cooling
     Or 'HVAC / Upstairs' Heat/Cool State is Heating
     Or 'HVAC / Upstairs' Heat/Cool State is Cooling
 
Then
        Repeat Every  30 seconds
           $V_FR_Stage_1_Heat  = 'HVAC / Family Room Runtimes' Heat Stage 1 
           $V_FR_Stage_2_Heat  = 'HVAC / Family Room Runtimes' Heat Stage 2 
           $V_FR_Stage_1_Cool  = 'HVAC / Family Room Runtimes' Cool Stage 1 
           $V_US_Stage_1_Heat  = 'HVAC / Upstairs Runtimes' Heat Stage 1 
           $V_US_Stage_2_Heat  = 'HVAC / Upstairs Runtimes' Heat Stage 2 
           $V_US_Stage_1_Cool  = 'HVAC / Upstairs Runtimes' Cool Stage 1

Hi Paul,

 

Thank you. This said we should have native node support.

 

With kind regards,
