Configuration

  • Name In the Name field a unique name should be entered.

  • Enabled When unchecked the plugin is not enabled.

Sensor

See: Serial Helper configuration

Device Settings

  • TCP Port: The port for an external network client to read the data from, range 1..65535. The used port number must be unique within the device.

  • Baud Rate / Serial config: See Serial helper configuration, above.

  • P1 #data event with message: When enabled, the P1 WiFi Gateway Event Processing option will include the received message. WARNING This may easily cause memory overflow exceptions, especially when running on ESP8266 or other low-memory situations!

  • Process events without client: By default, if no network client is connected, no serial data will be received and processed either. Enabling this option enables receiving data and generating events without a TCP client connected.

  • RX Receive timeout (mSec): If parts of serial data packets are somewhat delayed, but should still be handled as a single message, then the delay to wait for the next part can be configured here. 0 disables the delay.

  • Reset target after init: Select a GPIO pin that should be pulled low once during initialization of the plugin, used to synchronize the external serial data source with the plugin.

Led

  • Led enabled: To enable a data is being processed activity led.

  • Led pin: The GPIO pin the Led is connected to.

  • Led inverted: Iverts the on/off state for the Led.
