Hi,

i have Rako setup/configured successfully within demopad but what i need to do is e.g. when SKY+ is accessed the lights automatically dim based on a certain scene. I am not sure what the manual command would be for Rako setting a particular scene within Action Editor. Rako data commands have to be entered manually within the editor but i do not know the format to use.

Any advice?

regards,

If you are using the UDP device, you'll need the protocol document from Rako to work out the UDP commands.

You can however also submit 'send data to website' type HTTP GET commands, eg:

http://rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=5&ch=3&lev=25

Or via a telnet connection using the RS232 commands

Hi,

ok thanks. I am using the rakobridge so I will look at sending the commands to that if possible.

Hi,

ok the following works perfectly:

http://rakobridge.local/rako.cgi?room=24&ch=1&lev=250

Level 250 seems to be the MAX.

This now works as a trigger called from within Action Editor.

regards,

I have tried to send these manual commands, what exactly to I have to type in the data box? I tried this but nothing;

POST "http://rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=4&ch=1&lev=0"

If you are using the 'send data to website' action type, you should leave out the POST (and the quotes) - just put in the command URL address (confirm it works by typing the address into your browser first).
