Re: Control schema

[Frank Mc Alinden]

Hi Steve

There are 8 zones with 6 probes in each zone and the zones are not
intelligent...


XPL-CMND
{
...
}
No Source or Target ?? or just left out for simplicity...


DEVICE=X

Whats this referring to ??? Is it the Probe Hub???

In the xPL_HomeVision app I use a control.basic message with a
current=REQUEST to achieve this.

So the messaging for the probe would go

XPL-CMND
{
...
}
CONTROL.BASIC
{
XPL-CMND
{
...
}
TYPE=PROBE
CURRENT=REQUEST
DATA1=ZONE NAME
}

and the hub replies

XPL-STAT
{
...
}
SENSOR.BASIC
{
DEVICE=X
TYPE=PROBE
CURRENT=HIGH OR LOW
DATA1=ZONE NAME
}

Now ZONE isn't supported in the basic type so you could either

1) use DATA1 to hold the details
2) if each zone is a separate unit have a xpl interface for each with a
separate xpl instance in the header eg. source=FRANK-PROBES.UNIT1 and
source=FRANK-PROBES.UNIT2
3) or my preferred solution would be to have a control.zoned and
sensor.zoned schema which has a ZONE= in the body.
