Native read calls to cgi-bin

[eulaersivan]

I'm running some tests to see how I can use the integrated cgi-bin of the webserver to do native write calls. By doing so I will be able to call the cgi-bin with the appropriate parameters to perform a write to eibpc and this from within any html-page.

Is there also a possibility to de a native call to the cgi-bin to read the current state of an address?

Eg. I switch the light with address 0/1/6. This actor has an "active feedback object" defined 2/1/6 that should be read to see if the light is switched on or off. I don't think that reading the address 0/1/6 of the eibPC cache memory will be always the correct state. When I define this action in eibPC, the light is switched on from the integrated webserver, but the status is only updated after 30 sec.

That's why I would like to do a native read-call to the cgi-bin to read the current state of 2/1/6. An alternative would be to update the generated eibPC page quicker (eg. every 3 seconds) instead of waiting 30 seconds.

I'm not sure, if I understand you correctly.
Anway: You can nor modify the cgi-Skript nor the integrated webserver. The new webserver will allow more freedom, but perhaps not the right thing for what you want to do:

If you want to make these things, you should have a look at EibPC-Homecontrol or EibPC-Fusion. In this case you can directly and in "realtime" modify your KNX-System with a browser and an iPhone App, respectively.

Let's ask it different. Can the web page as it is generated by eibPC be refreshed every 5 seconds instead of every 30 seconds?

Not in the "released" Software. In Betasoftware you can do so, so this will be only a matter of time for you...

Do I have to rewrite the webserver application once the new release is out? In other words, will any current application be compatible with the new release?

What's the timing for the new release?

Hi Ivan

No rewriting, only new features.

Only one thing: Don't use ID-Numbers for webobjects which are bigger than 39.

This can be change from 1 to 30 seconds (can still change). 1 second for now does not really work. We are currently using 10 seconds.
