CGATE how to tell if status was initiated by a wall keypress

Connecting via CGate and I am trying to decipher which events are the result of a keypress of a wall unit.

Events look like this:
lighting on //WEBB/254/56/64 #sourceunit=40 OID=d1b6aba0-4a0e-1032-981b-d2305edbd9a7

What is "sourceunit"? It appears to be the ID of the device that generated the event (in this case a light switch)

Now, if I programmatically write to CGate something like:
OFF //WEBB/254/56/64

Then the following status event comes in:
lighting off //WEBB/254/56/64 #sourceunit=1 OID=d1b6aba0-4a0e-1032-981b-d2305edbd9a7

When you write to CGate, is the sourceunit that comes through in the status event always == 1?

Thanks

 

It's been a while since I looked closely at C-Gate, but at a guess the 1 is probably the unit address of the PCI/CNI that C-Gate is connected to.

And to answer your first question, I don't think you can specifically tell what type of device issued a command without keeping some sort of lookup table against unit ID's.

BTW out of interest why do you want to know this?

@rhamer I bet you are right. Hmm, I suppose unless I maintain a list of the sourceunits then it might be tough to get at what I need.

 

Actually, in looking closer at my tree, I see this:

320-//WEBB/254/p/1 ($1) type=PCLOCAL4 app=255($ff),255($ff) state=ok groups=

I think that sourceunit 1 is actually the CNI, so my code may work.
