Docs for NodeLink / help

[jim_]

For past decade, I have had DSCLink running without issues on an old HP laptop. With MS shutting down support for Windows 10 next year, thought maybe it was time to look for other options. If I understand correctly, NodeLink is a replacement and can be mounted as a Docker.

The author's link to the software opens to "adamsfleamarket.com" which appears to be an Indonesian site.  More digging, found Docker here https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/jcreynolds/nodelink.  I loaded into my NAS, but logs spit out a bunch for questionable connections (see attached logs) new 14.txt

Where can I find NodeLink help doc's or what would be a good replace for DSCLink on my ISY ?

BTW, only just starting to play with Docker, so don't really know to much about Docker deployments

I moved from it to eISY and PG3x. There is EnvisaLink -DSC node server that replaces nodelink.

I looked through the eISY section and I don't see anything for NodeLink Software specific

With respect to EnvisaLink, >>  DSCLink uses the EnvisaLink, but Nodelink replaced DSCLink (As I understand it)

So what exactly am I looking for here ?

[hart2hart]

EnvisaLink-DSC is a node server that runs on PG3x. It does all same things that original DSCLink did and then NodeLink when it combined several xxLink programs into one program.


NodeLink if it can be found will run on Windows. The author io_guy was great but has moved on to other HA endeavors and his automation shack site was shut down.

Are you running in ISY994 and if so do you plan to move to eISY?

Thanks for the explanation, now I get it ...

move to eISY?

And here in the problem lies, I have 3 x ISY994 installs and 2 have DSCLink running. I actually had to lookup what Polyglot was. Based on what I briefly read, knowledge of programming would be required ... I'm not a programmer.

And to add, I'm in Canada, with the USD to CDN dollar difference, to upgrade each location would be $700 CDN each ... very difficult to justify.  Guess I'll keep searching for a new solution  

Thanks anyway

I’ve got a copy of nodelink.dll that you can run on a Windows PC. Docker not required. Let me know if you want it.
