This document details the CFLink protocol for the SW16 device.

The STA (Status) query returns the states of all the dry contact inputs.

• <STATE> = The current state of each dry contact input:
  • 0 = open, off.
  • 1 = closed, on.

The LED query returns the states of all the LEDs (except backlight LEDs).

The reply will include data for all ports of the device. So for the SW16, there will be 16 sets of port data, separated by single pipe |.

• <PORT> = The port number in P## format. Eg. Port 1 is P01.
• <STATE> = The current action state of the LED:
  • X = Not changing
  • B = Blinking
  • D = Dimming
  • P = Pulsing
  • R = Ramping
• <LEVEL> = The level of the LED brightness, 0 to 100.

Note that the LED level

The reply will include data for all backlight LEDs of the device. So for the SW16, there will be 4 sets of port data, separated by single pipe |.

• <PORT> = The port number in P## format. Eg. Port 1 is P01.
• <STATE> = The current action state of the backlight LED:
  • X = Not changing
  • B = Blinking
  • D = Dimming
  • P = Pulsing
  • R = Ramping
• <LEVEL> = The level of the backlight LED brightness, 0 to 100.

The LED command is used to set the states of one or more of the 16 LED channels on the SW16.

The LED command can be used to change the LED states in a variety of ways, including basic on/off/toggle, and more advanced blinking, dimming and ramping.
Combine multiple LED port changes by using the port separator character, | (single pipe).

• <PORT> = The port number in P## format. Eg. Port 1 is P01.
• <STATE> = The state to set the LED to
  • 0 = Off
  • 1 = On
  • T = Toggle (invert the LED state, on if it was off, off if it was on)

> [F2]<ID>[F3]TSWXLED[F4]<PORT>:P:<TIME>[F5][F5]

• <PORT> = The port number in P## format. Eg. Port 1 is P01.
• <TIME> = The time to pulse the LED on for, in a resolution of 0.1 seconds. Min 0 seconds, Max 999.9 seconds
  • 10 = 1 second
  • 100 = 10 seconds
  • 9999 = 999.9 seconds

> [F2]<ID>[F3]TSWXLED[F4]<PORT>:<MODE>:<MIN_LEVEL>:<MAX_LEVEL>:<TIME_ON>:<TIME_OFF>:<COUNT>[F5][F5]

• <PORT> = The port number in P## format. Eg. Port 1 is P01.
• <MODE> = Dim or blink
  • B = Blink (no fading between levels, instant change to min and max levels)
  • D = Dim (fade between mid and max levels)
• <MIN_LEVEL> = The minimum level to set the LED when blinking/dimming. Range from 0 to 100.
• <MAX_LEVEL> = The maximum level to set the LED when blinking/dimming. Range from 0 to 100.
• <TIME_ON> = The time taken to reach max level when dimming, or the time to remain at max level when blinking. In a resolution of 0.1 seconds. Min 0 seconds, Max 999.9 seconds
  • 15 = 1.5 second
  • 105 = 10.5 seconds

  • 15 = 1.5 second
  • 105 = 10.5 seconds
  • 9999 = 999.9 seconds
• <COUNT> = The number of times to blink/dim. This parameter is optional and can be omitted, resulting in continuous blinking/dimming (same as specifying a count of zero)
  • 1 = Blink/Dim to max level and back to min level once.
  • 5 = Blink/Dim to max level and back to min level 5 times.
  • 0 = Blink/Dim continuously, until state is changed by another command.

// LED 3 = Pulse on for 10 seconds
// LED 4 = Blink at min level of 10 for 1 second, max level of 88 for 1 second, continuously.
// LED 5 = Dim to min level of 0 over 1 second, then to max level of 100 over 2 seconds, 3 times.
// LED 6 = Ramp to a level of 55 over a period of 3.3 seconds.

The BKL (Backlight) command is used to set the state of one or more of the 4 backlight LED channels.
It uses the exact same options as the LED command, so see the ''LED'' command for more details.

The CHA (Change) notification is sent out any time a dry contact input on the SW16 changes state.
This notification only contains the state for the port that actually changed.

> [F2]<ID>[F3]RSWXCHA[F4]<PORT>:<STATE>[F5][F5]

• <PORT> = The port number in P## format. Eg. Port 1 is P01.
• <STATE> = The current state of the dry contact input:
  • 0 = open, off.
  • 1 = closed, on.

// Input 1 is closed on SW16 on CFLink ID [22]
< [F2][22][F3]RSWXCHA[F4]P01:1[F5][F5]

// Input 1 is opened on SW16 on CFLink ID [22]
< [F2][22][F3]RSWXCHA[F4]P01:0[F5][F5]

The STA (Status) notification is sent out any time a dry contact input on the SW16 changes state or the input states are queried.
This notification contains the state of all ports at once, separated using the port separator character, | (single pipe).

• <STATE> = The current state of each dry contact input:
