I've written the following script to workaround the problem until a fix is integrated into the webapp:
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#
# fix_AD_webapp.sh
#
# An admitted hack, this script works around an Alarm Decoder
# webapp bug which fails to display certain messages while the
# panel is in programming mode. It does this by proxying I/O
# with the AD2USB webapp and spoofing all message types to a
# value which is known to be accepted.
#
# To use, change the webapp's listening port from 10000 to 10002.
# Must be run as root, either as a daemon or with the command line
# "sudo fix_AD_webapp.sh"
#
rm -f /tmp/fifo
mkfifo /tmp/fifo
if [ ! -p /tmp/fifo ]
then
echo "mkfifo /tmp/fifo FAILED"
exit 1
fi
nohup netcat -l -k -p 10002 < /tmp/fifo | netcat localhost 10000 \
| sed -u 's/\[f704[^]][^]]*/\[f704000000008000480200000d0000/' \
> /tmp/fifo &
I've been running this continuously since September without problems. I hope this helps anyone who wants to program their panel using the webapp...

Admin - Could you please sticky this until a permanent fix is integrated into the webapp? Thanks!
