Data type & Write issues #8

Open industrialinternet opened 8 years ago

industrialinternet commented 8 years ago

Thanks for this a real step forward Initial testing with Weinzierl gateway Tunneling. Will try a GIRA gateway

// Reading

  1. Doesn't recognize DTP type { "srcphy": "1.1.2", "dstgad": "10/1/6", "dpt": "no_dpt", "value": "56", "type": "event" }
  2. Doesn't display DTP5 temperatures

// Wirte

  1. Testing with example or existing group addresses { "topic": "knx: write", "payload": { "srcphy": "1.1.100", "dstgad": "5/0/2", "dpt": "DPT1", "value": 0 } } I get Unsupported dpt[DPT1] inside groupAddrSend of knx node

// General The read doesn't re-connect if KNX Gateway goes Off then Online.

Thanks again Lawrence

well to be honest, this was developed against an eibd daemon, not a real KNX IP router :)

ekarak commented 8 years ago

Also, I'm in the process of writing a KNX stack for server-side Javascript, as I want to decouple the eibd dependency. eibd is really good at coupling the KNXnet/IP protocol (stateless UDP) and presenting it as stateful TCP on port 6720, but is a real no-go for generic access to KNX.

Thanks, for the heads up I'm looking at using the new .weinzierl 777 as it's got a both a REST & Web servcies interface http://www.weinzierl.de/index.php/en/all-knx/knx-devices-en/knx-ip-baos-777-en this fine for new projects but no good for existing where tunneling is a must.

Just to let you know that I've been working on https://bitbucket.org/ekarak/knx.js/overview in order to get rid of the eibd as a depedency. The library is in a fairly stable state with full DPT support (incl. arcane stuff like DPT9 floating point) and I'll start porting the node-red-contrib package in a new branch.

Elias great news I will give it a go when it's up. Have you seen the KNX IoT training offer form KNX.org?

ekarak commented 7 years ago

So, here's the new project :) https://bitbucket.org/ekarak/node-red-contrib-knxjs

Do please try it out!

Elias, I only get the "device node" which is great BTW, but can't see KNX-in/out nodes what am I doing wrong? Have tried on Node-RED version: v0.15.1 & v0.13.4
