DSC PC5401 serial interface support

[io_guy]

I'm trying to setup 2-way communication with an RS-232 to Ethernet device.

Sending commands from the ISY is easy via the network module.

 

Getting info into the ISY isn't. I want to read my alarm system status so I thought I could setup a number of programs in the ISY that always run "true".

The data from the Ethernet adapter would be read by a computer that would then (via the WSDL) enable/disable the programs on the ISY. Diabling the program value false, enabled programs are true.

The programs are really just variables/flags that hold the status info from my Ethernet device. I could them use the flag programs as variables within other ISY programs.

 

Can I enable/disable programs from the WSDL?

Can I enable/disable programs from the WSDL?

 

It's not exposed in the WSDL but you can enable/disable programs via SOAP calls to the ISY. There's some examples of doing this in the developers section of the forum (mostly using perl).

 

I don't recall of the top of my head if this can be done with the REST interface.

 

It's not too hard to create code in C# or VB .NET to create the HTTP SOAP requests. I'm available to provide help with this via PM or email bob at universal-devices dot com.

Using Run (Then) or Run (Else) sets a program as True or False.

 

That would be easier to cue from than Enabled / Disabled.
