Well.... funny you should mention the DashBox. I am just waiting on order XUVRANGQL to ship and then when I receive it.... yes I willben wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:09 pmThe GEM won't be able to do it by itself. Do you own a DashBox?

Re: Node Server Support
We're a bit slow right now due to covid, only have a couple people going in and handling orders. I'm currently answering support from home. If you need anything, best to send an email my way (ben(at)brultech.com) as I've been a bit slow on the forums.ralbrightii wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:31 pmWell.... funny you should mention the DashBox.

I get it.... it was meant as a funny more than anything. I totally understand that things are a bit slower in the customer service departments of most EVERY industry.ben wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:38 pmWe're a bit slow right now due to covid, only have a couple people going in and handling orders.

And what is that plan? (I spoke to io_guy and he is basically closing down his NodeLink software due to disagreements with Universal Devices...)ben wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:09 pmThe GEM won't be able to do it by itself.

Re: Node Server Support
If I remember correctly on the UDI-side, a node server has to be defined, and on our side the packet format has to be setup. It's just a matter of putting time in and learning their new interfaces.ralbrightii wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 1:18 pmAnd what is that plan?

There is a sample Nodeserver out on the polyglot store

Re: Node Server Support
Ben, are you planning on working on this in the near term ?? Wouldn’t think you would need a new packet, iolink used format 14

Re: Node Server Support
Hopefully, we'll see when I'm back in the office (we can re-open Tuesday but probably going to push it another week as I still have a cough).
The DashBox will have to reconstruct the packet into whatever format the node server wants.

Re: Node Server Support
To create a Node Server for the ISY involves more than just the REST command for status.
A set of 3 files (Node Definitions) need to be created and uploaded to the ISY. After that the Brultech would need to send commands to add the various nodes to the ISY (which is dynamic based on the channels/sensors/counters configured in the Brultech) and then it would send a REST command for each value update on the GEM (separate REST sends for each value change).
My advice, don't do it. The ISY has completely moved 3rd part support over to Node Servers. Virtually no one will own an ISY and not have a secondary device (Computer, Raspberry Pi or Polyglot). You're better off just having one of these devices be the middle man since it's going to exist anyway.
