Hello

I am having luck with this code! What's the best way to have it automatically 'read' the device when I enter a page? Should I add it to a button, or will it be automatically called by iRidium?

It is better to use the listener of page opening, like this:

IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_START, 0, function()
{
   // cerate driver            
})

IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_ITEM_SHOW, IR.GetPage("Page 1"), function()
{
   // send request of equipment state when open Page 1        
});

IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_ITEM_SHOW, IR.GetPage("Page 2"), function()
{
   // send request of equipment state when open Page 2        
});

Thanks, so my code should look like this (i.e. when I enter the page, it will automatically read/request the state from the device)

// Code to read record status of DIS-REC-1 and display on Home page


IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_START, 0, function()


{
// DIS-REC1 is the name of the TCP HTTP device in the project
IR.GetDevice("DIS-REC1");
   sendRequests();            
});


IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_ITEM_SHOW, IR.GetPage("Home"), function()
{
// send request of equipment when 'Home' page is opened    
})


function sendRequests() 
{
   // request 1
   // answers: SUCCESS, FAILED
   IR.GetDevice("DIS-REC1").SendEx({ 
         Type: "GET",                                                         
                    Url:  "/Monarch/syncconnect/sdk.aspx?command=StartRecording",
         Headers: {},       
         cbReceiveText:       function(text, code, headers)  
         {
            IR.GetPage("Home").GetItem("DIS-REC-1_Status").Text =  state[1];              
         },
   });
     
}

Thank you! Will give that a go. I am not very good at coding, but can read it.

Thank you for the responses - I did have it briefly working yesterday (I am not sure how) but it's refusing to work for me today. Could I send you my project file - maybe this will be easier as I already have the driver and text items set up?

Hi, on the forum we can share the code fragments that could be useful for all of us, but if we just write a specified code instead of you it will take really much time, support team cannot do it, sorry.

If you post the project here we or somebody from community will try to help. Or maybe it is better to contact one of certified specialists.

Thank you for the response. I am working with JamWare to resolve this issue.
