Loxone <-> SNMP ?

[Gast]

Is it possible to use SNMP with loxone ?

I have various PDU's (19" power distribution units) with 8 230V outputs switches by individual relays which would be ideal for some parts of my home automation plans.. And cheap since i have them already. I also have a few environmental sensors (temperature/humidity) that work with SNMP..

Does the loxone miniserver support SNMP for reading/writing data to from these devices ?

The Miniserver can send SNMP traps, but not receive: https://www.loxone.com/enen/kb/virtual-inputs-outputs/

well, technically SNMP is UDP/161, I believe you could receive by configuring a UDP listener

i am working on using APC rack PDU's for switching heavy loads. I bought a couple of their AP7921's for like 30 euro's on ebay. Simple 1U boxes (about 20 cm deep) with 8 C13 outputs..

They can be controlled using SNMP :

snmpset -v 1 -c <write community> <ip address> 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.4.<outlet number> integer <command> (2=off 3=on)


Having trouble with hooking it up to the Miniserver as a virtual output though.. The manuals specify how to define a snmp output but not how to configure the commands to send.. anyone here with experience on that ?

Found a little more information in the loxone documentation.. whicht needs a lot more than i have for the command..

In the virtual output documentation from loxone it says :

create a virtual output and set the address as : snmp://“ServerIP“ of /dev/snmp/“ServerIP“

In the field for command for ON / OFF enter the oid info as follows :


&Community&OID&GenTrap&SpecTrap&VarOID&VarVal[&VarOID&VarVal]

For example :
&MyCommunity&.1.3.6.1.4.1.27383.1.1.11.3.2&6&0& .1. 3.6.1.4.1.27383.1.2.1&1


Since i only have 1 OID string which should be followed by "integer 3" i tried using
&private&1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.4.1&i3

sadly nothing happens :-(
