RE: FW: [HOMEVIS] The coolest piece of hardware ever

Almost, IIRC you can send data to the device via a rather hotch potch
method but it is very difficult for the data to go the other way. It may be
the other way round of course. I looked into it a bit about a year ago and
a lot has happened since then. Essentially data one way - can be done. Data
the other way - very difficult and maybe impossible depending on the data.

In the other words, with Siteplayer you can only configure device, but
not send data to device. Have I understood correctly?

This is probably only half the story but.....

The wiznet unit and I think the Xport in the original mail are both pass
through devices with web page style configuration. The siteplayer module
does not easily support this passing of data and so is not well suited
to
the likes of xAP messages.

I have been able to set up the Wiznet dev board with an IP and send and
receive xAP messages to my own xAP device on the serial/RS485 network on
the other side. From the PC this has all been Ethernet of course. This
is
the sort of gateway functionality we need rather than simply having a
web
page presence onto a device. As it was said earlier this latter approach
seems great but is not very useful. If we are lucky there may be a demo
of
some of the kit at UKHA 2003, fingers crossed.
