Read alerts from LM2 by RSS feeds | Logic Machine platform for KNX/EIB, EnOcean, Modbus, DALI, BacNet

Example: Read alerts from LM2 by RSS feeds

Task

Write weather data objects’ data into Alerts and read each alert as RSS feed using specific RSS reader.

Resident program

Add a Resident script which will write three objects’ data into Alerts once in a minute – current temperature, temperature high, temperature low

Edit the script and add the following code:

Source code

t = grp.getvalue('5/1/2')
t_high = grp.getvalue('5/1/4')
t_low = grp.getvalue('5/1/5')
 
alert('Yahoo weather forecast Riga: T: %d; T high: %d; T low: %d', t, t_high, t_low)

Alerts tab looks like this

Add new RSS feed in the RSS reader

Use the following URL:
http://remote:remote@192.168.1.211/cgi-bin/scada-remote/request.cgi?m=rss&r=alerts
50 latest alerts will be shown
alert time will be shown in UNIX timestamp, alert date will be shown as RFC date

Note! RSS can be used to read Error tab content as well. In this case the URL would look like:
http://remote:remote@192.168.1.211/cgi-bin/scada-remote/request.cgi?m=rss&r=errors
