6500/6700 Meters

I just loaded a Node-RED flow for a friend who has a 6700. I wrote the flow on my 6600 and was surprised to see there was no MAINFAN meter that you could subscribe to. My guess is the fan's on the 6500/6700 did not support an api query to fetch the rpm's. Just curious if my assessment is accurate.

I telnetted into our club's 6700 and confirmed there is no MAINFAN meter on the 6700.

Mick,
There is no device designated as "MAINFAN" on the FLEX-6300, FLEX-6500, or FLEX-6700. This is intentional by design, and your assessment is correct - there is no fan RPM value available for querying.
Note: When executing the
sub meter all
ormeter list
API commands, the radio will return a list of all available meters. The set of meters (and other related constructs) within our platform is dynamic and may change over time. For example, the list expands significantly when an active slice is present compared to when no slices are running. To ensure compatibility, we recommend leveraging API features that allow your code to adapt to these variations.73,

Thanks Dan,
I dynamically pull out the MAINFAN in my code. However I assumed it was there for all Flex 6xxx radios. It is very simple to add a method to determine if the MAINFAN query returns a value.
