HAI incoming messages

[apogeecustom]

I've been snooping around HAI demo software and reading the manuals etc. Can some one point out where the system might respond to serial commincation from a third party device? Specifically I would like to send in commands of my own making from a Crestron processor and make the Auxillary Outputs on the Omnipro close. I've seen how to program a WHEN event to close that output, but I can't see how to listen to a serial port for a message. Can this be done over a TCP connection as well?

TIA

You can write programs based of a message coming in over serial.

When Message 1 Received on Serial Port THEN ...

You can't currently test for messages over Ethernet

I was having trouble knowing which serial port to look for. It seems that I set up the port as Pro-Link and its just automatically included in the MESSAGES category? Is that right? If you had multilpes of the same device all sending in the same messages how would you differentiate the ports?

There is no port differentiation. If this is important for your application you'll need to allocate a different set of messages for each port.

Before you re-invent the wheel, have you looked at Tony Golden's HAI/Crestron driver?

Indeed I have, thanks.
