Hi. Trying to find a method of sending commands over IP.
So having one module that acts as a main controller (IP 172.22.0.10) with 5+ other remote modules (IP 172.22.0.11 .. 15) spread over a school campus.
I want to be able to say if Server Group 1/1/1 goes High or Low I can send this to another group on 172.22.0.11 say 10/1/3
or Server Group 2/1/1 goes High or Low I can send this to another group on 172.22.0.12 Say 10/2/4
So basically I would like to Map a local group to a remote IP group address
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to approach this.

Hi
As long all of them are on one subnet you can use KNX IP to send it over multicast. If not you can use simple web services

Thanks Daniel, we are not using KNX but are using CBUS, there is no CBUS over IP.
So that why I was looking for another method.
Was looking at using TCP Client and Server There is an example on the forum.
But wanted to ask for advise how alternative methods.
Not only do I want to send commands to the remote clients. I also need to make sure they are on line and have responded to command.

OK, Next time mention on the beginning that you use NAC or SHAC
You can use webservices or even modbus. The link which I sent you will work on you device.

Just looking at the web services you posted, just looking to see how its implemented. ??
Once I get the basic controls working (ON - OFF) I will think a bit more on how I what the whole project together in its final version.
But looking at the web services think this will do for now.
