Dummy

The DUMMY I/O Server is a virtual server that doesn’t actually connect to any external system, but simulates basic lighting and automation devices. It could be used for project’s development, demonstrations, and to easily implement virtual devices with complex logic connecting to actual systems.

HSYCO Configuration

Options

ID	Default	Values	Description
discovery	true	true	automatically lists all virtual devices in the systemtopo.txt file
		false	auto-detect for devices is disabled
lights	10	0 ... 10000	number of on/off light devices to generate
dimmers	10	0 ... 10000	number of dimmer devices to generate
automations	10	0 ... 10000	number of automation devices to generate

Datapoints

ID	Value	R/W	Description
connection	online	R	I/O Server ready
light.<n>	0	R	light <n> is off
		W	switch off light <n>
	off	W
	1	R	light <n> is on
		W	switch on light <n>
	on	W
dimmer.<n>	0	R	dimmer <n> is off
		W	switch off dimmer <n>
	off	W
	1	W	switch on dimmer <n>
	on	W
	1% ... 100%	R	the light level of dimmer <n> corresponds to the reported value
		W	set the light level of dimmer <n> to the specified value
autom.<n>	offup	R	autom <n> is stopped in upper position (set to this value 30 seconds after a 'up' command)
	offdown	R	autom <n> is stopped in lower position (set to this value 30 seconds after a 'down' command)
	stop	W	stop autom <n>
	off
	0
	up	R	autom <n> is moving upwards (opening)
		W	move autom <n> upwards
	down	R	autom <n> is moving downwards (closing)
		W	move autom <n> downwards

Virtual automation devices automatically go to the offup or offdown state 30 seconds after the up or down command.

User Interface

All the devices that have been added in systemtopo.txt (automatically or manually) are listed in the Project Editor and can be directly associated to button and dimmer objects.

For example, adding a slider for a dimmer requires just a few clicks and no additional EVENTS logic.
