Unable to connect from Android Client
Hi, I'm trying to connect to my test bOS Server fom Android client.
My bOS Client version is 4.2, installed on Samsung Galaxy Tab with Android 4.2.2; my test bOS Server version is 4.2.6 on Windows 10.
I'm unable to connect to demo server, too (https://demo.comfortclick.com)
If I use Chrome from the tablet instead of the app, the connection succeed.
If I connect from Windows bOS Client (version 4.2.8), the connection succeed.
What's wrong?

Hue-connection not working
Got my hue-lights home today and started connecting them towards bOS. Sadly, the integration is broken.
When doing a wireshark-trace it´s obvious that bOS tries to connect to the hue bridge with user "ComfortClick" - no matter what username you specify in the configure-wizard.
The HUE API states that fixed usernames should not be used anymore as the are "soon" to be deprecated from the API. I guess that day has arrived - I tried to create a new user manually through the API but only got a json back with "username is not a valid command" or something like that.

http basic string manipulation
Hi There,
Usinng the Http basic I can bring a string back from an API to another device, but that string contains data I do not need, I only want the present value from this response: {"present-value":22.285308837890625,"object-id":"0.1001","object-instance":"1001","object-type":"0","device-id":"0","href":"http://192.168.0.100:47800/api/v1/bacnet/devices/0/objects/0.1001"}
Is this possible in Comfort Clik, in short I wanto to populate a temperature in comfort click using the present value in the above response?
Thanks

Hello,
it is possible to parse JSON and XML data from the response. If your response is in one of those formats it is quite easy to read out the data. Another way is to use REGEX and parse out any data from text, but that is harder.
Example for JSON:
{
"Sensor1": {
"Temperature": 10
}
}
On the main HTTP node chose parser type "Json"
If you would like to read out temperature from sensor 1 (value 10), create a new variable under HTTP node e.g. double and enter Sensor1.Temperature in the Token Name field.

resetting the hour counter?
Hey there!
I try to reset the hour counter from an operating time task to get a daily overview for the consumption. I tried to reset it via a program task but it seems the hour counter cant be resetted. Is there an other way i could try?
I appreciate any help :)
Greetings
Daniel

Hello,
which version of bOS are you using? You should be able to reset Operating time counter by runing Reset () function via Program task or manually by clicking three dots button in Reset line under Operating time Functions tab.

RPC communication not working
Hi,
I am trying to test the RPC functionality of the bOS server with the postman tool. When I try to send a post request as described in the manual to call a function (please note that the .net test file link at the manual page does not work so I cannot see more detail/examples), I am always getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." response. The Any idea what I am doing wrong? RPC is enabled in the server service configuration file.
Thank you in advance

Hello,

Intrunet SPC - Siemens
Hi,
Are there any plans of adding support for Intrunet SPC - Siemens (recently purchased by Vanderbilt) alarm systems in the near future?
Thanks
Anders

Hi,
we get a lot of different request for new drivers, and we are constantly trying to upgrade and add new drivers to our bOS, but there is also a lot of optimization and maintenance on the existing ones. We are planning to add many more drivers to our system in the future, including Intrument SPC, but we cannot promise anything right now. The priority is always to make the current drivers work as well as possible and then add new ones.

Randomizing schedule
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a good way to randomize when a schedule is turned on and turned of.
I.e. today I have a plc-based function which turns on a switch sometime between 9 and 10 pm and turns it off sometime between 11.30 and 11.50 pm. Thus making the on/off randomized between a set time frame.
I'd appreciate any help in getting this to work.
Thanks
Anders
