Run the server

To use, please extract the release zip into a folder, adjust permissions on bin/oocsi-websocket (chmod a+x bin/oocsi-websocket), then execute the launcher (./bin/oocsi-websocket). To start the server on a different port than the default port 9000, use the addtional -Dhttp.port=<port> command line option.

Web socket connections can connect to /ws, a simple dashboard is available from /dashboard. All information is available from the server landing page /.

OOCSI Websocket communication

First, include the JavaScript source (either as the full library or as the minified library) into the HTML page.

Then connect to an OOCSI server running a websockets adapter:

OOCSI.connect("ws://_SERVER_ADDRESS_/ws");

You can send data to a channel or individual client (here: "John"):

// JSON data object with two items, position and color
var data = {'position' : 90, 'color': 255};
    
// send data object to client "John"
OOCSI.send("John", data);

You can subscribe to a channel with a handler to handle messages:

OOCSI.subscribe(“testchannel", function(msg) {
  // handle message from “test channel"
  var position = msg.data.position;
  var color = msg.data.color;
});
