Adapter - GENISYS PoE Lighting System Adapter

This page describes version 2.0.5 of the adapter.

Overview

The GENISYS PoE Lighting System adapter interfaces with the GENISYS PoE Lighting System Driver over a UDP network connection. The commands allow control of zones, devices and select system features. Additionally, notification event messages can be used to monitor for movement, room temperature, etc.

Important

The GENISYS PoE Lighting System Driver interface will not acknowledge any commands, whether valid or invalid.  The user must make sure the configuration is correct by checking for events and/or by manually running a command to verify that the request has taken place.  Connection faults will not be detected by the adapter.

GENISYS PoE Lighting System Adapter Configuration

The adapter must be installed externally from the main UIP system. The adapter will only work using an external Adapter Proxy or an Adapter HUB. UDP ports 4637 and 4636 must be open to communicate with the GENISYS Lighting System Server Driver. It is recommended by GENISYS that the Adapter Proxy or HUB be installed on the same sub network for best performance.

GENISYS PoE Lighting System Driver Configuration

The GENISYS Poe Lighting System Driver is configured as follows:

1. Stop the GENISYS Driver service.
2. Check the UDP Server checkbox under the 3rd Party Settings section.
3. Check the UDP Notify checkbox under the UDP Notify Settings section.
4. Enter the IP Address of the network location to send the UDP messages (i.e. Address of machine hosting the adapter)
   
5. Click the Save button and close the application.
6. Restart the GENISYS Driver service.

GENISYS PoE Lighting System Integration

The GENISYS PoE Lighting System uses universally unique identifiers (UUID) to identify devices, sensors, zones, scenes, etc. The adapter commands require the use of a specific UUID when sending a command to the GENISYS System. The GENISYS PoE Lighting System provides an integration report of all entities configured on the system. Open the GENISYS Lighting System's Web interface and select the "default" button in top right corner of view:

Open the "Integration Report" section:

The integration report view shows each device and its corresponding UUID along with what zone each device belongs. The view also provides an option to export the report to a comma delimited .CSV file for importing into a database:

Note: Scene UUID's are shown by selecting the "Report-Type" field at the bottom of the view:
