It is possible to find out information from the Link unit to help understand its behaviour. You can initiate a Hub call in by sending @H
, to which the Link will respond:
*!{
"trans":123,
"mac":"XX:XX:XX",
"time":1420070400,
"pkt":"system",
"type":"hub",
"prod":"wfl",
"fw":"U2.93J",
"uptime":956,
"timeZone":0,
"lat":51.10,
"long":-0.19,
"tmrs":0,
"evns":0,
"run":0,
"macs":1,
"ip":"192.168.1.71",
"devs":1
}
where:
Name | Value(s) | Description |
---|---|---|
trans | 1-4294967295 | Transaction number of the JSON packet. Increments every transaction |
mac | XX:XX:XX | Last 6 octets of Links MAC Address |
time | 1420070400 | Timestamp of the transaction in a local UNIX time (i.e if Link is set to UTC+2, this time will be UNIX + (3600*2) |
prod | wfl/lwl | Denotes if the product is a WiFiLink with a Screen (wfl) or a Lightwave Link (screen-less) (lwl) |
fw | U2.93J | Which firmware build the Link is running |
uptime | 12345678 | The time in seconds that the Link has been running for without a power cycle, or software restart |
timeZone | 0 | The current timezone of the Link in GMT (the Link automatically goes into DST). 0 is GMT, while 1 is GMT+1 and -5 is GMT-5 |
lat | 51.10 | Latitude of the Links location for dusk/dawn calculations |
long | -0.19 | Longitude of the Links location for dusk/dawn calculations |
tmrs | 0 to 32 | The number of Timers stored in the Link |
evns | 0 to 32 | The number of Events stored in the Link |
run | 0 to 32 | The number of Events which are in the process of running in the Link |
macs | 0 to 12 | The number of tablets/phones/PCs the Link is paired to |
ip | 123.456.789.012 | The local IP address the Link is using |
dev | 0 to 80 | The number of heating and energy devices the Link is currently paired to |
To find out the Dusk and Dawn time, you can send @D
, to which the Link will respond:
*!{
"trans":123,
"mac":"XX:XX:XX",
"time":1420070400,
"duskTime":1446827189,
"dawnTime":1446793338
}
where duskTime is the time that Dusk timers will trigger at, and dawnTime is the time where Dawn timers will trigger at.
Commands to alter Link Settings:
Command | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Set Timezone | !FzP(+-)nn | !FzP1 Set timezone to GMT+1 |
!FzP-5 Set timezone to GMT-5 |
||
Set Location | !FqP”xxx.xx,yyy.yy” | !FqP”052.49,-001.91” Set location to Birmingham,UK |
Change Link Brightness | @L | @L0 Turn the LED on the Link off, and on the LW500, dim the screen |
@L1 Turn the LED on the Link on, and on the LW500, brighten the screen |
Altering the location will affect the time the Link has for dusk and dawn timers.
Note:
- The Link will automatically change to DST; you do not need to account for this when setting this up. i.e. If you are in BST, when you set the timezone, you would send
!FzP0
and not!FzP1
.
