SendMulticastRequest
The block defines the action necessary for user command SendMulticastRequest
sending to multiple devices. The sent command can be processed by the
MulticastTrigger block. The command is a message sent by UDP to a multicast
address (235.255.255.250:4433) and can thus be received by multiple devices at the
same time. The message includes the command ID (Command parameter) and
additional optional parameters (Params parameters). The message can be password-
secured (Password parameter). It is recommended to send these commands with a
maximal intensity of 1 command per second.
Parameters
– define the event to execute this action.Event
– define the condition to be met for the action to be executed. This Condition
parameter is optional.
– define the command identifier to distinguish the command types. Command
The MulticastTrigger block responds to the SendMulticastRequest action only if
the command identifier is the same. Any text containing the A–Z, a–z and 0–9
characters can be used for identification.
Parameters – define one or more (comma-separated) command parameters to
be included in the UDP message. Keep the “parameter_name=parameter_value”
format.
Example:
Params=“Address=192.168.1.1”, “Port=10000”
The so-sent parameters will be available in the HttpTrigger event responding to this
command as the Address and Port output parameters and can be used in the
HttpTrigger-tied actions, for example.
– define the password to secure the command against unauthorised Password
access. The parameter is optional. If no password is completed, the command is
not secured. Use any text containing the A–Z, a–z and 0–9 characters.
Example
Send the opendoor command to all the devices with the properly set Event.
