gadgetguru69 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Hey Guys Been looking around the forum and online to try to see if i can get the ISY units to get the info out of a EDS OWServer unit and into the ISY. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have seen that the CAI stuff can be used but i need many more inputs than they provide.
Xathros Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I'd be happy to look into it if you can give me some info on your device/server. The name means nothing to me. -Xathros
gadgetguru69 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 EDS Embedded Data Systems has a host controller that will handle 100 1wire devices. http://www.embeddeddatasystems.com/HA7N ... _p_22.html I am looking at a way to get this info into the ISY. They have a smaller unit that will handle up to 24 devices also. Looking to monitor and control my insteon devices via the isy based on temperatures read from the EDS unit.
Xathros Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 gadgetguru69- Cool. Looks a lot like the CAI web control but industrialized. I see no DIRECT way of enabling data to pass from the EDS unit to the ISY. It would require a middleman to query the EDS sensor data and post to the ISY using the /REST interface. That is exactly what the CAIWC program does for me between the CAI board and my ISY994. I'm running CAIWC on a Pogoplug with Archlinux. Others are running the same on the Raspberry PI. Both are good low power solutions but either will require some coding to get this working for you. I currently have 3 DS1822 sensors wired to my CAI board reporting temps to the ISY as well as 3 CT switches reporting status/runtime of washer/dryer and oil burner. Still have a bunch of inputs available for more temp sensors (3 of 8 used), TTL inputs (3 of 8 used), Humidity (1 of 1 unused) and a few analog inputs (don't remember the specs on those off hand). CAIWC updates the ISY as soon as anything changes on any of the monitored inputs. Also, I believe that a newer version of the CAI board firmware can post some data directly to the ISY now without the Pogo/Pi middleman. -Xathros
gadgetguru69 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 Xathros I have been looking for some documentation to see what would need to be done code wise to get the info into the ISY I just haven't found it yet. I was thinking this was what would need to be done and that's doable for sure I am in process of getting the data into a python script now to log it to a database so code to send data to ISY can be implemented there also. Can you point me in the right direction as far as documentation or code examples?
Xathros Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 See this documentation for the ISY: http://www.universal-devices.com/developers/wsdk/4.0.2/ISY-WSDK-4.0.2.zip Look at the REST interface in ISY-WS-SDK-Manual.pdf -Xathros
gadgetguru69 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 Xathros thanks ill start looking into this.
