Code: Select all

var sock = new sockets.udp();
sock.sendto("Hello", "192.168.0.1", 1234);
With the CodeDevice module I did create a toggleButton with a variant of the above code. The message was properly received by the UDPListener at the OpenRemote side. Nice simple test for this communication channel!

I have updated the Recipe in the first post. Instead of using netcat via a system call, the JS now calls sockets directly. Looks to run faster, but definitely easier to maintain.

Continuation of discussion on: http://www.openremote.org/display/forum ... t-23599520

The next problem I run in to is my Open Remote controller complaining about java classes...
Am I using the wrong version of java for drools?

Re: [HowTo] Send status updates as UDP messages

Actually this question is better dealt with on the OpenRemote forum because I know very little about Java and Drools. Michal Rutka is the best person to answer this question. Sorry to kick you back and forward :mrgreen:

My present OR controller is Pro 1.1.1 beta that I got a long time ago from Eric Barieaux. I think this version has not been released yet. My installation is on Synology 212+ where I have Oracle's Java SE Embedded 7.

The UDP rule is the only Drools I still use because that is the only way to communicate UDP {sensor,value}-pairs to OpenRemote. All my other rules have been transformed in Z-Way modules. I have submitted a request to make an adaptation to OpenRemote's UDPListener to accomodate this directly, but on past experience I doubt that will ever be implemented

Hello.
Iam testing your code to send out UDP message when a device changes state. My test is on a Fibaro Wall Plug (SwitchBinary.data.level) and i receive UDP message at change so it seems to work as it should. (if i push the button on the device)

But one thing that is troubling me is that if i click the Update button on the Expert user interface for this device then i will recieve a couple of more UDP messages that is telling me the status, and also if i change the state on the device on Expert user interface then i will first receive current state and then the state it was changed to.

Is there a better way to listen for devices that only sends out the changes and not all updates?

I vaguely remember getting many messages in the past. I then fiddled a bit with the Fibaro settings, which reduced the "noise". If I find the time I'll see if I can set up some logging at the receiver end

Thanks.
Of course it would be possible to filter at the receiving end but it would be a much better way to filter them before they go out.
And the best would be if there is a function built in that only trigger when there is a change not on update.

I am not advocating such a filter. I only meant to say that I will try to get some logging to see if I can observe what you report. I don't see it in my Z-Way logs

I could try with some other devices to, to see if this is Fibaro specific.

Iam using a simple UDP server that is listening on the port that i set up in the js file, so i am not doing any filtering either.


Edit:
Everspring AN157 have the same issue as my Fibaro Wall Plug.
If i push update in gui then it will trigger one or two UDP messages, and same if i change state with gui.
