Remote Addon
The remote addon allows you to change values in your ARDI server through simple web buttons, allowing remote control of simulated ARDI data.
Note that the addon can only change values that are linked to live data. In normal operation, this means that your injected values will be overwritten by the next live data update.
If you are setting up a pure demonstration server, you can use the zero driver to ensure your modifications aren't overwritten
It's less flexible but significantly simpler for end users compared to the injector addon.
Defining Buttons and Actions
Your remote control buttons are defined using an XML file - this file is accessible from Administration under Remote Control Settings.
An example XML file appears below…
<options>
<button name="Trigger 402 Smoke Detector">
<set property="179:38:state" value="0"/>
<set property="179:-1:15" value="0"/>
</button>
</options>
The button element defines the name of the button.
The set elements inside the button define the action to be taken. In this case, it sets a property.
The property is defined using the full data point identifier for the property - <assetid>:<propertyid>:<node>.
