The RAPIX system includes many interface options to external systems.
RAPIX Zone Controllers and the eHub include a control and monitoring API, using JSON commands sent and received over their Ethernet interface.
This allows external devices or systems to control DALI and DALI-2 Control Gear on a line. In large RAPIX systems, it allows other systems to interact with RAPIX and DALI. Commands and responses are JSON formatted strings.
The full RAPIX API is used by all current software systems that work with RAPIX – examples include:
Many developers have successfully created interfaces using the API.
The extensive API documentation is available after signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). To obtain an NDA and begin your RAPIX interface, please contact us.
A subset of the API suitable for AV (Audio/Video) integration is available for free download. Click HERE to download this document.
RAPIX Integrator software includes a command generator, to make it easy to product the commands needed by those A/V systems that need to send single simple commands.
The RAPIX Ethernet Interface allows sending, receiving and monitoring of DALI commands at a low level.
This interface suits software developers who want complete control of DALI commands, or to monitor everything on the DALI line.
This interface needs a good knowledge of the DALI standards and command encoding. A copy of the IEC 62386 series of standards is highly recommended. Software source code examples and support software is available at no additional cost.
