CBus controller - 5500SHAC #474

Open nathanbull opened 3 years ago

Hey there! I'd love to be able to integrate our new CBus wireless controller into companion so we can control our house lights with the streamdeck.

Documentation says the 5500SHAC has remote functions "18.4 Remote services Use remote services (XML/JSON) to remotely activate functions or control objects. https://updates.clipsal.com/ClipsalOnline/Files/Brochures/W0001830.pdf Page 207 for remote connection settings"

A 5500Shac user has already made an app for the web server that the SHAC produces if that gives any extra guidance :)

Thanks heaps!

I've actually got this running by installing a script as a work around to their 'remote control' function.

I'm able to execute scenes and set levels using commands such as; http://172.16.1.5/user/C_bus.lp?cmd=0,56,2,255,5 which spits out: Sent C bus command to : Network 0 Application 56 Group 2 (D2-GA03 Row 1) To level 255 Ramp Rate 5

See: https://www.cbusforums.com/threads/remote-control.10593/ as a guide to how I accomplished it.
