Integrate with SmartServer using REST

ajcronk — Wed, 12 May 2010 20:22:12 GMT

We are currently using the SmartServer to WebBind data points through SOAP to a remote web server.

To send multiple data points in one message, we have to create custom UNVTs, which are sent as positional arguments in SOAP. Example:

<UCPTvalue LonFormat="#8FFFFF5400040400[5].UNVT_CustomStructure">23 45.3 17 39</UCPTvalue>

That is how the SOAP message is structured to send the four values: 23, 45.3, 17, 39. The receiving web server must then parse the values based on their position. This is not ideal, and I'd like things to be a bit more flexible.

I'd prefer if I could structure the data in an XML format like:

<message>
     <Pressure1>23</Pressure1>
     <Pressure2>45.3</Pressure2>
     <Pressure3>17</Pressure3>
     <Pressure4>39</Pressure4>
</message>

To me, REST is the ideal way to send this kind data to a remote web server. Make a POST to the web server endpoint with the XML data as the POST body.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Basically I want to send a message with key/value pairs instead of positional arguments.

about VB2008 SOAP Read DataLogger

tino — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 09:10:22 GMT

Hi everyone

I have some trouble about read datalogger (using vb2008 and framework3.5)

my vbcode

'Create an xSelect object and then specify the filter to be used
        Dim xSelect As New iLonWebRef.E_xSelect()
        xSelect.xSelect = "//Item[UCPTname = "//Item[@xsi:type=""UFPTdataLogger_Cfg""]"
'Create an ItemColl that stores objects returned by List()function that takes an xSelect object
        Dim ItemColl As iLonWebRef.Item_Coll = SmartServer._iLON.List(xSelect)

        'we use an xSelect to read only the last 10 records in the Data Logger for one data point
        ItemColl.xSelect = "//Item [UCPTlastUpdate>=""2008-02-28T13:15:00.000+00:00""][UCPTlastUpdate<=""2008-02-28T13:20:00.360+00:00""][position()> =last()-10][@xsi:type=""UFPTdataLogger_Data""]"
        ItemColl.Item(0).UCPTname = "Net/LON/iLON App/Data Logger[0]"

' Read Data Logger
Dim dataLogger As iLonWebRef.Item_DataColl = SmartServer._iLON.Read(ItemColl) <-------error "Response is not a valid XML format"

when i read itermcoll...debug show Response is not a valid XML format

Who can teach me how to revise

Thank you for any suggestions

So i try this sample code(from iLONSmartServer Programmer's Reference page5-9)

Request (data point updates recorded during a specific interval)

my code

<iLonItem>
<xSelect>//Item [UCPTlastUpdate>=" 2010-04-11T13:15:00.000+08:00"]
[UCPTlastUpdate<=" 2010-04-11T13:20:00.000+08:00"]
[position() =last()-64][@xsi:type="UFPTdataLogger_Data"]
</xSelect>
<Item>
<UCPTname>Net/LON/iLON App/Data Logger[0]</UCPTname>
</Item>
</iLonItem>

when i read ...Response show

<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<SOAP-ENV:faultcode>2</SOAP-ENV:faultcode>

can someone help me...thanks

soaptester source code

davidbross — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:39:11 GMT

Is the source code (Visual Studio Solution/ C# Project) for the soaptester app available? It was just amazing to have the old iLON100 c sharp example to get into the nitty gritty of the wsdl. It would certainly be beneficial to those of us working on leveraging the power of the smartserver.

How to read data logs from Java ?

lokendar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:14:26 GMT

Hi, i am new to iLON world.. I can access data logs from C#. But unable to do so from Java. Are there any examples which i can refer for reading iLon smart server datapoints from java.

I have used wsimport with the ilon wsdl file. It generated a bunch of class files. I'm stuck on which class file to start with .... can someone help..

My code:

public static void main(String[ args) throws MalformedURLException {

       URL wsdlLocation = new URL("http://1.2.2.2/iLON100.WSDL");
        QName serviceName = new QName("http://wsdl.echelon.com/web_services_ns/ilon100/v4.0/wsdl/","iLON100");

        ILON100 services = new ILON100();
        ILON100.create(wsdlLocation, serviceName);

        ILON100PortType ports = services.getILON100HttpPort();

        ItemColl icoll = new ItemColl();

        icoll.getItem().add(0,new Item());
        icoll.getItem().get(0).setUCPTname("XXX/YYYY/Node/datapoint");

ItemDataColl idc = ports.read(icoll);

String s = idc.getItem().get(0).getUCPTdescription();

}

On executing, i am getting this error :

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.ws.client.ClientTransportException: The server sent HTTP status code 404: Not Found

Event Timeout on DataServer_Read() method

lbrindise1 — Fri, 01 May 2009 16:31:08 GMT

Is there a way to avoid event timeouts on DataServer_Read() method? Datapoints to be polled are loaded into the DS_Read().DPType[ array. I have reduced the number of polled datapoints down to 10, and these still occasionally happen.

This is a C# app using the ilon100WS Web References interface.

Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated!

Re: Read values from iLON for web page (linux/apache/php server)

Jam-Rolf — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 21:32:53 GMT

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your quick answer. Tonight I checked my MAMP installation on my Mac/OS X system. It had PHP-SOAP installed by default. We already decided to go with PHP-SOAP for first testing, as there are some others (NuSOAP, PEAR:SOAP), but PHP-SOAP is the fastest.

I can connect to other SOAP web services with the methods available, so that's step 1.

Now I wonder if there's some sort of "open" SmartServer somewhere for testing purposes. We do not have a test SmartServer at the company up & running, and I wondered if there's maybe some public available test-iLON (perhaps run by Echelon) on the web.. basically I'm looking for an url wih WSDL which I can use this weekend ;)

Regards,
Rolf

Read values from iLON for web page (linux/apache/php server)

Jam-Rolf — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:17:11 GMT

Hello group,

I'm very new to the world of building automation, open control products, iLON, SmartServer, etc.
Currently we are looking into the possibility to read data from a SmartServer to display on a webpage running on some other server.
What I understand so far is that it should be able to connect to the SmartServer and read "data" with the help of SOAP. Probably the data is returned in XML. Is this true? I saw some C# links.

Normally we develop websites and applications based on PHP/MySQL/JavaScript/XHTML/Flash...
I do not see any info with keywords like "ilon smartserver php".

Any idea that what we are trying to code is not unusual? Maybe someone has any pointers where we can look (which pdf on de Echelon manual pdf for example).
I dont think we'll use Contribute for this, because it's not a web page ON the iLON server..

Thanks for any pointes/advice where we should start looking etc.

Flex and the iLon

zbessler — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:15:55 GMT

Has anyone tried to put flex on the iLon? Those graphs are not very good and I have some charts already made up that I could easily port over to use iLon data. Flex even has a SOAP interface. The problem is when I try and make the same call I get invoke failed message.

Re: JavaScript call SOAP XML/Webservice

zbessler — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:03:14 GMT

Your message frightes me a little Tom.

Here is what I am trying to do and I wonder if anyone out there can help. I am putting together a page using Adobe Contribute, iLON vision, and some javascript. I am trying to get points like the mac address, subnet and gateway. None of those are points naturally on the iLON, accessible through iLON vision, but it seems there is one SOAP request that has it all sited from the programmers reference. "SI_NETWORK" However, I know a little javascript (I've been learning as I make the page) and I know nothing at all about SOAP. I have been trying all day following different guides on the internet with no result.

So does anyone out there have a working example, or can point me to one, that were complete a SOAP request via javascript
