A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Sam O'Connor <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: mbsd
Other License:
Package: Daemon and client to talk to Dynalite lighing control equipment from
unix
System name: dynetd
Type: non-GNU
Description:
DYNET is a RS485 based network protocol used by the Dynalite range of building
automation and lighting control equipment
Dynalite sells software that only works on Microsoft Windows.
My software allows Linux computers on a LAN to send dynet packets to an RS485
network and perform aribtrary actions in response to recieved dynet messages.
I didn\'t have to reverse engineer anything, Dynalite has a list of opcodes on
their website.
See http://dynalite-online.com/html/opcodes.htm
I have a simple daemon for that forwards dynet packets to and fro between the
RS485 network and a LAN (UDP).
(The daemon is ~ 1000 lines of C and should work on anything POSIXish.)
The daemon can also execute shell scripts in response to any message that
passes through.
I have written a matching command line client that sends dynet messages as UDP
packets.
I aim to build on this infrastructure to provide a map based building control
GUI.
I don\'t have a website to post the code on but I am happy to mail it if
requested. (It is quite rough at the moment)
Other Software Required:
No special libraries needed.
(Just does serial and UDP I/O)
Some tcattrs used may be Linux and or GNU specific.
Other Comments:
I have no relationship with the Dynalite company other than as a customer
who bought some of thier gear. I have no interest in promoting this code
other than the hope that it may be of some use to other Dynalite users who
don\'t have windows.
