Run the example

  1. Install and run the device gateway
  2. Download the Node.js client library
  3. Copy the root certificate of the gateway to your working directory. As default, the certificate(ca.crt) resides in cert of the installation directory.

  4. Change the gateway and the device information in example/action/test/test.js as needed.

     // the path of the root certificate
 const GATEWAY_CA_FILE = '../../../../cert/gateway/ca.crt';

 // the address of the gateway
 const GATEWAY_IP = '192.168.0.2';
 const GATEWAY_PORT = 4000;

 // the ip address of the target device
 const DEVICE_IP = '192.168.0.110';
 const DEVICE_PORT = 51211;
 const USE_SSL = false;

  5. Install packages.

     npm install

  6. Run.

     cd example/action/test
 node test.js

1. Connect to the gateway and the device

The example assumes you use the device gateway. For the master gateway or other connection options, refer to the Connect or ConnectMaster examples.

  var rootCa = fs.readFileSync(GATEWAY_CA_FILE);
  var sslCreds = grpc.credentials.createSsl(rootCa);
  var addr = `${GATEWAY_IP}:${GATEWAY_PORT}`;

  connect.initClient(addr, sslCreds);

  var deviceID = await connect.connectToDevice(DEVICE_IP, DEVICE_PORT, USE_SSL);

2. Make triggers

You can make several types of triggers. The example shows how to make event triggers among these.

  const cardFailEventTrigger = new action.actionMessage.EventTrigger();
  cardFailEventTrigger.setEventcode(BS2_EVENT_VERIFY_FAIL | BS2_SUB_EVENT_CREDENTIAL_CARD);

  const cardFailTrigger = new action.actionMessage.Trigger();
  cardFailTrigger.setDeviceid(devID);
  cardFailTrigger.setType(action.actionMessage.TriggerType.TRIGGER_EVENT);
  cardFailTrigger.setEvent(cardFailEventTrigger);

  const fingerFailEventTrigger = new action.actionMessage.EventTrigger();
  fingerFailEventTrigger.setEventcode(BS2_EVENT_IDENTIFY_FAIL | BS2_SUB_EVENT_CREDENTIAL_FINGER);

  const fingerFailTrigger = new action.actionMessage.Trigger();
  fingerFailTrigger.setDeviceid(devID);
  fingerFailTrigger.setType(action.actionMessage.TriggerType.TRIGGER_EVENT);
  fingerFailTrigger.setEvent(fingerFailEventTrigger);

3. Make actions

The example shows how to make a relay action. Refer to ActionType for available types of actions.

  const relaySignal = new action.actionMessage.Signal();
  relaySignal.setCount(3);
  relaySignal.setOnduration(500);
  relaySignal.setOffduration(500);

  const relayAction = new action.actionMessage.RelayAction();
  relayAction.setRelayindex(0); // 1st relay
  relayAction.setSignal(relaySignal);

  const failAction = new action.actionMessage.Action();
  failAction.setDeviceid(devID);
  failAction.setType(action.actionMessage.ActionType.ACTION_RELAY);
  failAction.setRelay(relayAction);

4. Make TriggerActionConfig

You can configure up to 128 pairs of trigger and action in TriggerActionConfig.

  const cardTriggerAction = new action.actionMessage.TriggerActionConfig.TriggerAction();
  cardTriggerAction.setTrigger(cardFailTrigger);
  cardTriggerAction.setAction(failAction);

  const fingerTriggerAction = new action.actionMessage.TriggerActionConfig.TriggerAction();
  fingerTriggerAction.setTrigger(fingerFailTrigger);
  fingerTriggerAction.setAction(failAction);

  const config = new action.actionMessage.TriggerActionConfig();
  config.addTriggeractions(cardTriggerAction);
  config.addTriggeractions(fingerTriggerAction);

  await action.setConfig(devID, config);
