IP / Serial Plugin for HS3 (by "drule") - Discussion Thread

[sparkman]

The last two are photos of the file that was saved of the screen from monitor software, first one is when using this program to operate relay 1, second is using test software that works.

I believe the address in the connections tab should be COM3, other than that, the settings look good. You may need to add the 0x0 in front of the commands as well. This thread should have some examples of other serial type connections.

Made those changes but no luck so far. Adding the x0x just added more hex Numbers to the group in front. When trying to get the terminal software to work on this board, it started working when picking the option: "Parse XXHEX CODES" . Maby there is a comand to add that here. Thank you for looking at it, I will search the previous examples as you suggested.

It is sending your hex codes in asci code.
F = 46 in hex....

Thank you for your reply Peter, do you know how to fix this?

Well, just finished going back over this entire 739 post to try and make sure the problem i'm having is not already discussed and resolved, but was not able to find anything.
I have a 8 relay board as shown in https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...rd-with-hs3pro
Just trying to operate the relays, Post #734 is the screen shots of where I'm at now trying to operate the first relay, if you can help resolve i sure would appreciate it.

What other "types" have you tried under commands?

When I was experimenting I realize now that keeping records is important. Most of the trials were before I had the program that lets me see what information is being sent, so I will try again some of the other types to see what happens. What I have seen so far is if I add a "," or "\n" or "\r" that the list of numbers to the left is just added too. I believe peterpc said that its the HEX equivalent being sent. I can't find a command to make that list not be sent.

The spaces may need to be removed as well

When using the test software, this is data that operated relay 1, HEX view and ASCII view

I maybe have a related problem that someone knows a fast answer to?
I am bridging between VeraPlus and HS3 with this plugin triggering events on raw text messages received over tcp.

I get the impression that sometimes the plugin does not flush out the triggering text properly or fast enough and I thereby get double events or/and lost events.

Question: should the raw text be terminated in some way? With a CR or CRLF?

The problem could be on the sender side as well where I use this code:

function VeraAlert(host, port, Msg)
  local socket = require("socket")
  local tcp = socket.tcp()
  tcp:settimeout(3)
  if (tcp:connect(host, port)) then
     if (tcp:send(Msg)) then
     else
    luup.log("Error Sending Msg")
     end
  else
     luup.log("Error Opening Socket")
  end
  tcp:close(socket)
end

VeraAlert("192.1.1.120", 6000, "MyMsg")

Hi I’ve got your ip / serial plugin setup with a global cache gc2sl. Sending commands works but can’t figure out receiving feedback to set a device to on example if I send command MO\r\n the device sends a return of MUT0 how do I get that to turn a device on or off

Hi,

First time user of this plug-in. I'm wondering how do I display the data received by the plug-in into a script? I see that here is an event action for doing this, but how should the script look that receives the data? My goal is to have a script that parse the data string received and based on the data trigger events.

Does this help?

Sub Main(Param() as Object)

hs.writelog("irule connector",Param(0).ToString)
hs.writelog("irule ip address",Param(1).ToString)
hs.writelog("irule data",Param(2).ToString)


End Sub

Hello,
I am unsure on how to install this plugin. I'm migrating network resources from Universal Devices ISY and this seems to be the plugin needed. I reached out to HS support and they said they are unsure on how to install and reach out here. Can someone please advise me? I appreciate the help.

Thank you!
