Nodeserver Request or Network Resource... For Control by Web Products

[Flex]

It would be nice to be able to take the output from a network resource "HTTP get" and port it into variables. The resource could be polled every 10 to 60 seconds or so.

Or

Create a node server for the Control by Web model X410 and model x310.

These guys have some really good I/O capabilities. These keep watch over my sump pump, among other things.

This is what the output of the network resource looks like;

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Keep-Alive: timeout=60
Cache-Control: no-store
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 883

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Is there a way to get data from an XML file from a network resource command into an Polisy ISY variable. Is this something a node server could do? I know with the ISY 994 it wasn't feasible.

Cannot be done from Network Resources.

This can be done from a Node Server and is the correct way to do this.   You will not need to use ISY variables as a Node Server create nodes that can be used in programs.

Thank you for your response. It's good to know that a node server will work for this. However, I am not at all adapt at writing one. So could said node server be set up to poll a device, similar to what network resources would do, grab the xml data and drop that into x number of nodes?
