Question

Hello I have a TRB141  (TRB1_R_00.07.03.2)
When purchasing I was lead to believe that this device could be set up for a pump remote control opperation and could be used on an app also,
Im only an Electrician not a programmer, but I have been able to start and stop the pump via SMS reliably,
however I can not get the status of the digital inputs or the analog input back to the customer at all.
Can I please have some help with getting the status and control of the I/O from the TRB141 to the customer ?
App based control and feedback would be great but sms would be ok, Also the Analog is just coming in as 4-20mA
and how am I supposto scale that to water pressure for the customer?
(happy to pay if the only solution is getting an IoT platform desigened?)

Hopefully someone can help soon

Thanks
Shaun

Hello,

You can find a lot of relevant information on TRB141 in the following page: https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/TRB141_Input/Output

For more specifics, regarding input/output control, below are a couple of suggestions:

For digital inputs/outputs and analog input status/values, there is a dedicated SMS command:

• <routers_pass> iostatus

To control inputs, you can use uci command interface and try following commands:

• <routers_pass> uci set ioman.dio0.value=0
• <routers_pass> uci set ioman.dio1.value=1

Or you could create custom SMS rules, with commands to return/change status of the outputs. For this, you would need to login to gateway's WebUI, navigate to Services -> Mobile utilities -> SMS utilities. At the bottom of the page, add a new command with your preferred test and action set as Change I/O state. In an expanded configuration window select your input/output, select State to be set, add a timeout, if necessary. 

Other than that, you would need to consult sensor's manual on how to convert read voltage/current value into actual pressure.

Best regards,
