This function allows any structured data to be received via an IP connection. Reception is not limited to pure text data but allows allows binary data to be processed.
Two different types of telegram are supported:
- telegrams from IP devices
- telegrams from 14-byte communication objects
Telegrams can be evaluated in one of two ways:
- Simple telegram - evaluation by defining single
data blocks.
- Complex telegram - evaluation using a regular expression and assignment of
data blocks.
The telegrams are logged on the
debug page in section
Event reception. In the section
Event ports, all IP ports are listed at which the HomeServer can receive IP telegrams.
- exchange of values between two Gira Home Servers.
- reception of data and values from other IP devices, e.g. IP cameras
Using the import and export functions, completed telegrams can be stored as libraries and re-used in other projects. Single telegrams can be exported or complete folders, including subfolders. If a library contains several requests then these are always imported in single steps, i.e. a maximum of one folder will be created. All telegrams can then be found in this folder.
When importing, you can enter the IP port, sender IP or network, net mask, multicast address or the communication object for all telegrams. For this, the data are suggested that are found in the library to be imported by the HS Expert. All imported telegrams are preassigned with these values. Depending on the type of the library, different fields may be active.
If additional objects are used in the library (e.g. communication objects, sequences, etc.) then a project-specific conversion must be made in the "Objects" bar. Hereby, you can recognize which function the object has based on the object description and the type.
Note: A list of the libraries already available will be posted shortly at the internet address
