NETIO

This driver commands a NETIO power socket and reads status from it, it uses HTTP protocol with basic authentication (username and password).

NETIO supported models are: PowerCable REST 101x, PowerPDU 4C, PowerPDU 4PS, PowerDIN 4PZ, PowerBOX 3Px, 4, 4All.

Device Configuration

Firstly the device must be configured to be operative.

At the first startup the device acts as an access point, connect to it (see device manual for this step) and configure your network credentials. Remember to assign a static IP address to the device (remove the flag from DHCP option) as shown in the example below:

Network configuration

When you save network configuration the device reboots and connects to your network.

After that connect to the device web configuration page (at the IP address that you have assigned to the device), relative credentials are specified on device manual. On the web configuration page go to section M2M API Protocol and configure JSON API protocol:

• Enable JSON API
• Enable READ
• Enable WRITE

Obviously you can change JSON API username and password.

HSYCO Configuration

Add the NETIO I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication

• IP Address: local IP address of NETIO device
• Port: leave it blank

Authentication

• User: JSON API username, as set with device web configuration page
• Password: JSON API password, as set with device web configuration page

Options

ID	Default	Values	Description
startupevents	false	true	generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase
		false	start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system
pollinterval	1000	n >= 100	data acquisition interval, in milliseconds, from the power socket

Datapoints
