Some Isy programming questions

[aweaver]

1. What is the name of the language used on the isy99?

 

2. I have an app that is going to handle 7 day programming for a thermostat and I was wondering if its possible to write instructions and translate them to a form that the isy99 understands?

 

The audience for this app are just regular users, not hobbyists so they may not be comfortable programming the webserver directly.

I would have to write some sort of icon based interface for users to program the thermostat.

 

Thanks in advance.

ISY Programs are generated using the ISY Admin Console GUI by selecting items from selection lists and data from input fields. There is no underlying programming language per se.

 

What type thermostat is the App controlling?

Thanks for the reply.

The App is controlling a Venstar T1800.

Hello aweaver,

 

Have you tried the Programs Details tab?

 

You can generate the same type of XML that Admin Console sends to ISY via some other app. But, you will have to be well versed with Web Services/SOAP. The main issue is that every program requires a unique key that you will have to generate based on all the programs already in ISY.

 

To see the XML generated by the Admin Console, simply right mouse click on one of the programs and then choose Export. Once that's done, you can open the exported file with a text editor.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am going to read up on SOAP/SOA/Webservices.

 

How can I get an unique key for my app?
