Exampler Controller Agent

Note, this agent is out of date and will not work with the current actuator/scheduler. Please see [ActuatorAgent documentation] (ActuatorAgent "wikilink").

This agent listens for outdoor temperature readings then changes the cool fan speed. It demonstrates pub/sub interaction with the RTU Controller.

    Requirements for running this agent (or any agent wishing to interact with the RTU:

• • Edit the driver.ini file to reflect the sMAP key, uuid, and other settings for your installation
  • Activate the project Python from the project dir: . bin/activate
  • Launch the smap driver by starting (from the project directory): twistd -n smap your_driver.ini
  • Launch the ActuatorAgent just as you would launch any other agent

   With these requirements met, the 

• • Subscribe to the outside air temperature topic.
  • If the new reading is higher than the old reading then
    • Request the actuator lock for the rtu
  • If it receives a lock request success it randomly sets the coolsupply fan to a new reading.
  • If it does not get the lock, it will try again the next time the temperature rises.
  • If the set result is a success, it releases the lock.
