TCP/IP connection working - question on sending messages
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Gilbo65Gilbo65
    Having tested TCP/IP with telnet(putty) and "socket test 3" apps on a windows 7 PC - I'm happy with the general functionality, and I can send and receive data as expected.

    I'm now trying to integrate the TCP into my Home Automation solution - Housebot (used in my campervan).
    • I can send chat message from Navigator to Housebot (and Housebot works as expected) - proving the connection works (on various sockets).
    • When I send a command such as $software_version  - Housebot TCP/IP socket logs the message as sent 
    BUT - Navigator does not respond to any messages such as $software_version, $maximize, $last_position, etc

    I've tried \n and \r\n as terminators. Still nothing. I've tested the commands using the socket tester, and the messages are clear and as typed.

    Is there anything else I can try (known protocols and terminator characters) in your experience to get these messages into Navigator. (I've tried my paid v14 and my development v15 free versions).

    Many thanks!

    FIXED

    Used 0D0A (HEX) as the command terminator. There may not be another user of Housebot who uses Navigator, but it's worth bearing in mind for other TCP/IP integration projects....
