[dss-developer] API and Integration questions

[Martin Siegwart]

4) I use IP-Symcon. When a window is opened the userdefined state is changed. This allows me to send with an url info to a third server. Then the third server login to IP-symcon database and change its value.

 Hi All,

 I developed an integration plugin to make Digitalstrom available in the
 Smart Home System iobroker. While anything is working fine and over 400
 users use it already, I still have some unanswered questions.

 1.) How exactly is "Rule 8" to be interpreted?
 I currently interpreted it that way that my system makes sure to not do
 request in parallel, added delays and if I request values on an interval
 (mainly the energy values of the dsMs) I do that maximum once per minute
 per dsM/Circuit and value. How it is officially defined?

 2.) I tried to use /device/getOutputChannelValue2 to get all output
 values at once, but this method always returned values that never
 matched to the reality. Is this broken or Do I do something wrong?

 3.) I also want to support vDCs, but there is no real documentation that
 I found to get infos on available "offsets" and "index" fields and
 datatypes (e.g. byte or word) on how to query or even set the values. I
 only get the values and their types and current values when I request
 the device infos. Is there any way to get the "Low level" details?
 I currently assume that the "primary output value" always is at
 offset/index=0 ... but this may be incorrect - and it also do not work
 as soon as more then one output value is present.

 4.) Because users asked: Is there any way to push the status for "binary
 inputs" (e.g. a door/window contact) from the outside to then be used
 e.g. for heating control and such? I could not find any API for this.

 Thank you for your answers.

 Ingo
