# EL 2.1 Heartbeat

set el21-heartbeat device <device_id> command added to the Electrolyser will activate Safety Heartbeat. If the Electrolyser does not receive the heartbeat in a time (heartbeat period) — the machine will normaly shut down.

Adding notify-offline command will add the check of connection to Cloud.

  • notify-offline false - Heartbeat will be sent even Gateway is disconnected from Cloud

  • notify-offline true - if no connection between gateway and cloud - Heartbeat will not be sent

  • period - period of checks, in seconds

# Example

set el21-heartbeat device BE24AADBEB35CB53814620E1CA98D6A4F9DBC72F
set el21-heartbeat notify-offline true
set el21-heartbeat period 30

# Lua Conditions

Lua conditions can be used for programming complex logic dependent of several devices.

For more convenient work on complex scripts Enapter shell support editing values in Vim (default) or Nano editor. To set preferable editor use following command:

[d0a09d] conf # set shell editor nano

or

[d0a09d] conf # set shell editor vi

To edit value use edit command in configuration mode:

[d0a09d] conf # edit rule-engine rule 10-test condition 10 lua

To exit from Vim editor use :wq<Enter>

Lua condition code block expected to return boolean value.

So the most simple Lua condition will be:

return true
