Template:Networking rutos manual fw disclosure

Summary

Inputs and outputs are used for monitoring and controlling a connected device or receiving signals from that device in order to trigger certain events.

This chapter of the user manual provides an overview of the Input/Output section for {{{name}}} devices.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

Status

The Status page displays the current states of the device input and output:

File:Networking rutx manual input output status v2.png

You can invert Input pin by clicking on slider in Inversion column and switch Output pin state by clicking on slider in State column.

Status from command line


You can also obtain the status of the input or output from the command line. List of ubus possible values in {{{name}}} devices:

ioman.gpio.dio0
ioman.gpio.dio1

Call command ubus call value status :

root@Teltonika-{{{name}}}:~# ubus call ioman.gpio.dio0 status
{
        "value": "0",
        "direction": "in",
        "bi_dir": false,
        "invert_input": false
}
  • din1 is the input:
    • "value": "0" means low level state.
    • "value": "1" means high level state.
  • dout1 is the output:
    • "value": "0" means low level state.
    • "value": "1" means high level state.

Post/Get

Enabling Post/Get provides the possibility to control the state of an output via HTTP POST/GET requests. The figure below is an example of the Auth Settings section of the Post/Get page. It is used to turn Post/Get on or off and to set authentication parameters.

Networking rutos manual input output post get auth settings.png

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Turns Post/Get on or off.
Username string; default: none Username used for authentication in POST/GET queries.
Password string; default: none Password used for authentication in POST/GET queries.
Confirm password string; default: none Repeat the password for confirmation.

Post/Get examples


It is possible to turn the output on and off by using a valid HTTP POST/GET syntax. Use a web browser or any other compatible software to submit HTTP POST/GET strings to the device.

Below is a table containing syntax examples of this usage:

Action POST/GET URL
Turn Output state to high http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/io_state?username=user1&password=user1&pin=dout1&state=on
Turn Output state to low after 5 seconds for 3 seconds http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/io_state?username=user1&password=user1&pin=dout1&state=on&delay=5&time=3

Overview:

  • 192.168.1.1 - device default LAN IP address; replace it in accordance with your own configuration.
  • username - login name from Post/Get configuration.
  • password- password from Post/Get configuration.
  • state - turn Output on or off.
  • delay - defines a delay (in seconds) after which the specified action will be performed.
  • time - defines a window of time during which the action will take place. For instance, if you post an on action while specifying time=5, the output will turn on and stay on for 5 seconds before turning off.

Delay and time parameters can be used together. For example, if delay is 10, time is 5, action is on, then 10 seconds after the execution of the command, the output will switch to on (or stay in on state if it was already that way), then after 5 more seconds it will switch to off state. In this case the overall command execution time is 15 seconds.


To use Post/Get via SSH instead of a browser, you may want to use the curl -X command. Simply add the same URL command in between quotes and specify the HTTP method.

Examples:

  • Switch output to High:
    curl -X GET "http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/io_state?username=user1&password=user1&pin=dout1&state=on"
  • Switch output to Low after delay:
    curl -X GET "http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/io_state?username=user1&password=user1&pin=dout1&state=off&delay=5"

Scheduler

The output Scheduler can be used to configure a timetable of when an output should be turned on or off, based on days of the week and hours of the day. Below is an example of the Scheduler section.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_input_output_scheduler_configure_scheduler_configurableio_{{{configurableio}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Each field represents a day of the week and an hour of the day. The Scheduler table itself is interactive; click on different fields to set the state of an output for a specific window of time. For example:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_input_output_scheduler_configure_scheduler_example_configurableio_{{{configurableio}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

The Scheduler is turned off by default. To turn it on set the 'Enable' slider to "on".

I/O Juggler

The I/O Juggler is a feature that provides the possibility to create automated rules that perform certain actions based on Input state changes and other conditions. The operating sequence of I/O Juggler can be visualized as such:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_input_output_io_juggler_scheme_condition_mobile_{{{mobile}}}.png]]

When an Input Trigger occurs, the Input check to see if user-specified conditions are also met. If so, it executes a user-specified action.


For example, if we configure the I/O Juggler like this:

  • Trigger - input state rising.
  • Condition - 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
  • Action - send email.

The operating sequence would look like this:

  1. A connected device raises the input state.
  2. This {{{name}}} device checks whether the current time is between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
    • Yes - {{{name}}} sends an email.
    • No - {{{name}}} doesn't send an email.

You can specify multiple actions and multiple conditions for any I/O Juggler rule. Selecting conditions is optional. If there are no set or configured I/O Juggler conditions, the operating sequence is as such:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_input_output_io_juggler_scheme_mobile_{{{mobile}}}.png]]

General


The General section is used to Input Trigger rules, which can perform a specified user-configured action when the Input state changes and when certain other user-configured conditions are met (conditions are optional).

Before you can use the I/O Juggler, you must turn it on first (off by default). This can be done by setting the 'Enable' slider to "on":

Networking rutos manual input output io juggler general enabled.png

Input


The Input is used to create Input Rules. An Input Rule is triggered by a user-specified input state change. When this trigger occurs, the device executes a specified command if certain specified conditions are met (conditions are optional).

The Input list is empty by default. To create a new Input Rule, look to the Add Input section at the bottom of the page; select an input and click the 'Add' button:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_input_output_io_juggler_general_input_add_button_juggler_input_{{{juggler_input}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

After this you will be redirected to the configuration page for the newly added Rule, which should look similar to this:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_input_output_io_juggler_general_input_configuration_juggler_input_{{{juggler_input}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Field Value Description
Enabled off | on; default: off Changes current profile to specified one when action triggers.
Trigger interval integer [0..99999999]; default: 1 The shortest amount of time (in seconds) between two triggers. If the input is triggered more than once in a time period shorter than the value specified in this field, the device will react to the first trigger.
Trigger Rising | Falling | Both; default: Rising Input state change that will trigger this rule.
Add actions i/o juggler action(s); default: none Actions that will be executed by this rule when the specified trigger and conditions (optional) occur.
Add conditions i/o juggler conditions; default: none Conditions that have to be met for the rule to take action. Conditions are optional.

Actions


The Actions section is used to manage and create new Actions that can be executed by the I/O Juggler Rules. The figure below is an example of the Actions section, which is empty by default.

Networking rutos manual input output io juggler actions actions.png

To create a new Action, look to the Add an Action section at the bottom of the page; enter a custom name, select an action type and click the 'Add' button:

Networking rutos manual input output io juggler actions add button.png

After this you will be redirected to the configuration page for the newly added Action, which should look similar to this (example for action 'Type: Reboot'):

Networking rutos manual input output io juggler actions configuration reboot.png

Action configuration depends on the selected action 'Type'. Each Action can have one or multiple user-defined Conditions assigned to it. Actions that have Conditions assigned to them are executed only if the Conditions are met (a trigger occurrence is not enough to set off these actions). Assigning to Actions is optional.

You will find descriptions of each different action Type described on the sections below.

Type: Email


Sends an email to specified recipients. Requires an existing email account configuration on the device. Email accounts can be configured in the System → Administration → Recipients → [[{{{name}}}_Administration#Email_Accounts|Email Accounts]] page.
