Activate an Output (relay) via TCP/IP API

n8wrl

I just submitted this to 4o3a support, and I'm posting it here because you guys are a lot quicker than they are, if they respond at all :(

I see how i can get a list of the configured outputs here:

https://github.com/4o3a/genius-api-docs/wiki/Antenna-Genius-TCPIP-output

How can I activate one of them? That is, how do I trigger the relays like the Antenna Genius does with the UI.

Thank you!

I figured it out - wireshark to the rescue.

C#|output set <relay option/output #> active=0|1

for an active group. If you want to specify the group,

C#|output set <relay option/output #> group=# active=0|1

I also got excellent response from Marko at 4o3a on this.

Groups and Outputs have ID's independent of each other. There is no need to specify a group when activating an output.

Working my way thru "sub relay" now.

If you are doing Node Red, I have a flow I did for another ham to control his four square using the OM module.

Thanks Dave. This is a .NET WinForms app. It monitors DXLab's Commander for radio updates and tells the AG when to change antennas. One of them is a 4-SQR so I'd like to change direction without using the AG UI.

I'm so close!
