Lib not working with DHD devices

[radio42]

Unfortunately this lib is still not working with certain DHD devices, e.g. with all DHD-52 systems!
What can we do to resolve the issues?

Can you please confirm compatibility of this lib with the Ember+ specs and the compatibility especially with DHD devices.

Many Thanks,
Bernd

Hi Bernd,
I'm using this library for connecting to DHD 52 devices, as a consumer, seems to work fine. What are the issues you're having?

Check my pull request for adjustments and adaptation for .NET standard, there is some slight modifications but nothing mayor.

Best regards

Hi Roger,

I think that I contact Bernd with this Issue.

I'm using the Proppfrexx ember-viewer from Radio42 and it's working with the library:
Lawo.EmberPlusSharp.dll

If I connect to the DHD 52 XC System than I get this message:

The provider failed to send the children for the element with the path /Device/Routing/matrix.
Reconnecting...
It's connecting again and than the same message.
and so on...

I can say in the options: Ignore matrix elements If I do than I get the database of the elements.
But the message: "please wait it's getting database provider" is still running in a popup screen.

But if I restarted it than it's okay!

I hope you understand it.

Many Thanks,

Frank

Thanks for all the help.
It is now confirmed, that it is working!

There are two important things to notice with DHD:

1. Disable (Ignore) any Matrix elements (this is even the default and therefore hidden in the ProppFrexx GPIO Ember+ implementation)
2. Take care about globalnames in DHD configuration and use simple ones (e.g. no space or special char)

@radio42 Good to hear this.
Is the Lawo.EmberPlusSharp.Model.EmberOption-extention you added in your application no longer needed ignoring Matrix-elements? (Especially with DHD series 52 providers..)

[radio42]

Not that I know of, but I am not a DHD Series 52 owner, so I can not test this.
Last time I heard from Lawo, that DHD is sending matirx values in a different format, which is not fully compliant - whereas DHD said it is according to the specs. So unless either DHD or Lawo moves, I am afraid, that this is still the case.
