PowerView Gen3 Driver

Description

This driver is for control of PowerView Gen3 compatible devices. This driver communicates exclusively with the gateway device to signal actions on the endpoint devices.

The PowerView application can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. This app will be required for setup and configuration of the Gateway and endpoint devices.

A demo Integration Designer project has been created to demonstrate general usage of this driver.

Note: This document is not a replacement for understanding the equipment you’re controlling and the documentation that is distributed with the equipment. Please read and understand all documentation before attempting to use this driver.

Revision History

v1.0.0 : Initial Release

v1.1.0 : Compatibility update for FW version 3.1.398

v1.2.0 : Major bug fixes and improvements

Known Issues

No motion-start event for primary motor of shade capability type 9.

Current positions not always end on target position

Connection Settings

All communication between the Gateway and the driver will occur over a TCP connection via port 80. The IP address of the Gateway can be entered in the driver settings.

Initialization Sequence

Once driver communications have been started and a successful handshake has been completed, the driver will automatically start polling the Gateway for the current state of all registered endpoints. Once the driver has successfully acquired the state of all endpoints, it will be considered initialized. No commands should be sent for endpoint control until this process is complete.

Driver Configuration

Debug Settings

Only visible if "Show Driver Debug Options" has been set in TraceViewer.

Enable Debug Messages

Enables the driver debugging messages.

Debug Level

Determines which debug messages to show.

Identifier

Prefix for debug messages to distinguish debug messages from this driver.

Network Settings

IP Address

IP Address of the Gateway.

Auto Connect

If enabled, the driver will automatically attempt to connect to the gateway and initialize the state of all endpoints as soon as it is ready after processor startup and will maintain this connection. If disabled, the connection process will need to be started manually via driver connection functions.

Device Configuration

Shade Count

Determines the number of shade endpoint devices the driver will control. A single instance of the driver supports up to 1000 of these devices.

Scene Count

Determines the number of predefined scenes the driver will control. A single instance of the driver supports up to 1000 of these scenes.

Shade Settings

Shade Name [1-1000]

Defines a friendly name for the endpoint device.

Shade ID [1-1000]

Defines the unique ID of the endpoint device.

Scene Settings

Scene Name [1-1000]

Defines a friendly name for the scene.

Scene ID [1-1000]

Defines the unique ID of the scene.
