Owl Intuition - Manual Command Processor
This is a very simple flow designed to enable you to send commands to interrogate or set parameters within you Owl Intuition system. It should enable you to stop subscribing for the formal system. It runs on both Node-Red on my PC and Node-Red running as an Integration within Home Assistant on my Raspberry Pi4.
There are a few things to edit within the nodes (IP address of the Owl, UDP code and local port if necessary). More detail on these are in the flow.
No checking for correct formatting is done nor that the commands are valid. The user will need to google to find the web page where there is a PDF document with all the commands listed. I suggest you try the GETs first to get the hang of it before using any SETs. Incorrect commands return ERROR or are ignored.
Try commands like GET,VERSION or GET,AWAY or COMFORT first. The command will be set to upper case and then the UDP code will be added.
Time input is in seconds past 1/1/1970 00:00:00. No assistance is given for that.
I have a much larger flow that is almost ready for publishing that removes the need to understand the commands themselves and converts the times for you as well as providing some graphic outputs. It is just for heating and monitoring of 1 electrical phase. Look out for when I publish it.
Enjoy.
