Ampio Node-RED module

Ampio add-on made to use Ampio Smart Home devices in Node-RED.

Pre-requisites

You need Ampio Smart Home system, because this module is meant only to integrate it with another node-red plugins. You also need M-SERV-s with latest firmware, or Ampio Smart Home server installed in docker and connected through special serial-CAN adapter with Docker host device.

Install

This node should be pre-installed on your M-SERV-s. In case of having software in Docker, use MENU -> Manage Palette -> Install and type ampio. Another way is to use Terminal, and installing this add-on in your ~/.node-red directory.]

Using this add-on

After having this module installed, you will see helpful instructions in Help sections. Basically, after installing you will have 4 add-ons:

• Ampio IN, node meant to receive informations from modules, such like: states of inputs, outputs, flags, temperatures from sensors, states of analog inputs/outputs, and 8,16,32-bit measurements. Values will be delivered immediately, after they will change, they are not sent periodically.
• Ampio OUT, meant to control outputs and flagfs ion Ampio system. You can also change temperature controller desired temperatures.
• Ampio LCD, a complete tool to display text and shapes on LCD screen on MDOT touch panels.
• Ampio Events, to send and/or receive events from your CAN Network.
