Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a device for directly controlling load drive, the thermostat is widely used in systems that require temperature regulation, such as air conditioners. At present, the thermostats on the market are usually in a mode where a single device corresponds to a single air conditioner. When multiple thermostats need to be linked, they are often synchronized through network communication of devices such as 485 communication networks to ensure that the status of each thermostat remains consistent. However, in actual applications, once the 485 communication network fails or is disconnected, the communication between the thermostats will be interrupted and the original linkage function cannot be realized. In this case, the thermostat will not be able to synchronize its status, which may cause unstable or failed system operation.

[0003] The existing technology cannot cope with the situation that a certain device in the communication network fails. When the device communication fails or fails, the temperature controllers in the system will not be able to continue to operate in conjunction. Therefore, how to ensure the communication connection between devices when a certain device in the 485 communication network fails has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, specific embodiments will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] Figure 1 A flow chart of a control method for a device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0046] S11. When it is detected that there is a communication fault device in the target network, it is determined whether there is a configured device in the target network, wherein the target network includes a plurality of devices that are communicatively connected to each other.

[0047] The control method of the device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to computer equipment, which may include but is not limited to: servers, desktop computers, controllers (for example, programmable logic controllers PLC), central systems, etc. The target network may be a communication network established based on the RS-485 standard, and the target network includes multiple devices that can communicate with each other. The computer device can issue control instructions to each device in the target network to control it. Specifically, when there is a communication failure device in the target network, the corresponding communication connection method can be determined according to whether there is a network-connected device in the current target network, so as to perform communication connection through the communication connection method.

[0048] In this embodiment, the device may include, but is not limited to, a temperature control device (e.g., a thermostat, a temperature and humidity controller, etc.) that can be connected to the target network. Each device in the target network can send control instructions, device information, network configuration information, etc. to each other to achieve linkage and message synchronization of all devices. When a device has a communication failure, the device will not be able to receive information sent by other devices, nor can it send information to other devices. Therefore, the method of judging whether a communication failure device currently exists may include: controlling each device to send its own device information and network configuration information to other devices at intervals of a preset time period (only network-configured devices need to send), etc. When a device cannot send or receive device information to other devices in a certain round of information transmission, the device is determined to be a communication failure device. Alternatively, using an RS-485 communication protocol analyzer or a serial port debugging tool, the data transmission of devices in the network can be monitored. By checking the reception and transmission of data packets, devices that have no response or incomplete data can be identified. If a device is found to have no response or data loss, it may be that the device has failed to communicate. Error frames can be captured to check whether there are CRC errors, verification failures, etc. If so, the device is determined to be a communication failure device. Alternatively, in the target network, a computer device can act as a master device, usually communicating with multiple devices by polling. The polling request sent by the master device can be monitored by software to see if each device responds normally. If a device fails to return data or the response times out during polling, it is determined to be a communication failure device.

[0049] S12, determining a control strategy for the device in the target network according to the judgment result;

[0050] S13: Control the communication mode of the device in the target network according to the control strategy.

[0051] In this embodiment, step S12 and step S13 are described uniformly. When the judgment result is that there is a network-configured device, the control strategy is determined as follows: controlling the unconfigured device to connect to the router of the network-configured device, so as to control the communication connection of the device in the target network through the router, the first address of the network-configured device and the second address of the unconfigured device;

[0052] Specifically, when any device is networked, the network configuration information will be synchronously sent to each device through the target network so that each device can store it. The network configuration information may include the first address of the networked device and the information of the connected router. When a communication failure device appears, it means that the device cannot communicate and connect with other devices through the target network. Regardless of whether the networked device is a communication failure device, the communication connection between each device can be achieved through the router. At this time, each device can determine the current communication failure device in step S11, control the unconfigured device to determine the network configuration information of the configured device from the pre-stored network configuration information, and configure the network based on the network configuration information, connect the router of the configured device, and communicate and connect with the configured device through the router according to the pre-stored first address. The router can assign a network address to the unconfigured device as the second address, and both the unconfigured device and the configured device can obtain the assigned second address and store it. At the same time, the configured device can communicate and connect with the unconfigured device through the router according to the second address. Among them, the communication connection of the router can be performed only for the communication failure device, or the communication connection of the router can be performed for all unconfigured devices.

[0053] For example, when the communication fault device is an unconfigured device, the communication fault device is controlled to be connected to the same router as the configured device. When there are group control instructions or information that needs to be synchronized, the communication fault device can receive the information or control instructions forwarded by the configured device, and other devices with normal communication can also communicate in the target network. When the communication fault device is a configured device, any other device with normal communication can be controlled to be connected to the same router as the communication fault device. When there are group control instructions or information that needs to be synchronized, the communication fault device can receive the information or control instructions forwarded by the normal communication device through the router, and other devices with normal communication can also communicate in the target network. Alternatively, all other devices are controlled to be connected to the same router as the communication fault device, and messages and control instructions are sent through the router. In this way, all devices in the target network can achieve communication connection with each other.

[0054] When the judgment result is that there is no network-configured device, the control strategy is determined as: controlling the communication fault device to turn on the hotspot, and controlling the communication normal device in the target network to communicate with the communication fault device through the hotspot.

[0055] Specifically, when there is no configured device in the target network, the communication fault device is controlled to automatically turn on the wireless hotspot function. At this time, the communication fault device will generate a temporary wireless hotspot signal, so that other devices with normal communication in the target network can discover and connect to the hotspot.

[0056] Specifically, the device information synchronized by the devices in the target network at preset intervals will include the hotspot name of each device, that is, each device will pre-store the hotspot names of other devices, and control the normal communication devices in the target network to scan nearby available networks. After discovering the hotspot name opened by the communication fault device, the normal communication devices are controlled to automatically connect to the hotspot, thereby establishing a temporary communication channel with the communication fault device.

[0057] Data interaction and status synchronization can be performed through the hotspot of the communication failure device. Even if the communication failure device cannot access the target network, other devices can still be linked and controlled through this temporary communication method.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the connection status of the device with communication failure can be continuously monitored. When the failed device resumes normal communication with the router or the target network, the hotspot function of the device can be controlled to be turned off to restore the normal network communication path. At the same time, the communication normal device that has established a connection through the hotspot will automatically switch back to the original network connection to achieve seamless communication.

[0059] The control method of the device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is to determine whether there is a network-configured device in the target network when a communication failure device is detected in the target network, and the target network includes multiple devices that are connected to each other in communication; determine the control strategy of the device in the target network according to the judgment result; and control the communication mode of the device in the target network according to the control strategy. Therefore, when there is a communication failure device in the target network, the corresponding control strategy can be determined according to whether there is a network-configured device in the current target network, so as to control the communication mode of the device through the control strategy, so as to achieve normal communication connection of the communication network when a communication failure occurs in a certain device, ensure the information transmission between the devices, and avoid the loss of control of the system.

[0060] Figure 2 A flow chart of another device control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0061] S21. Control each device in the target network to send device information to other devices at intervals of a first time length; when more than a preset number of devices have not received the device information of the first device, determine that there is a communication fault device, and determine that the first device is a communication fault device.

[0062] In this embodiment, each device in the target network will send the current device information of the device to all other devices once at a preset first time interval to achieve timely synchronization of device information. The device information may include but is not limited to: device identification, communication address, device's own barcode information, device hotspot name, etc. When each device receives the device information sent by other devices, all device information will be stored for use in subsequent communications.

[0063] After sending device information once, if more than a preset number of devices in the target network do not receive the device information of a first device, it means that the first device cannot communicate in the target network, and the first device is determined to be a communication failure device. At this time, each device will receive a message that the first device is a communication failure device.

[0064] At the same time, when the second device does not receive the device information sent by any other device, it is determined that there is a communication fault device, and the second device is determined to be a communication fault device. That is, when a second device cannot receive the device information sent by other devices, the second device can determine that it is a communication fault device. Therefore, when there is a communication fault device in the target network, all devices can get the information of which one is the communication fault device in time.

[0065] S22. When there is a network-configured device, when the network-configured device is connected to a router, control the network-configured device to send network configuration information to the unconfigured device; control the unconfigured device to connect to the router through the network configuration information; control the unconfigured device to extract a first address from the device information of the network-configured device, so as to communicate and connect with the network-configured device through the first address.

[0066] In this embodiment, after a device in the target network is connected to a router and network configuration is completed, the network-configured device will send its own network configuration information to each other device so that each device stores the network configuration information of the network-configured device. The network configuration information is used to connect to the router for network configuration, and may include but is not limited to: router name, password, address, etc.

[0067] Furthermore, when it is determined that a communication fault device has occurred and there is currently a network-configured device, there is no need to determine whether the communication fault device is a network-configured device. The unconfigured device can be controlled to connect to the router of the network-configured device according to the network configuration information, so that all devices are connected to the same router and communicated through the router. At the same time, after the unconfigured device is connected to the router, the device information of the network-configured device can be determined from the stored device information, and the first address of the network-configured device can be extracted from it. According to the first address, a message can be sent to the network-configured device through the router. At the same time, the network-configured device can also forward the received message to other devices, realizing the communication connection between all devices in the target network.

[0068] S23, controlling the unconfigured device to send the second address to the router, so that the router sends the second address to the configured device, so that the configured device is communicatively connected with the unconfigured device through the second address.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the unconfigured device is connected to the router, the router can assign a second address to the unconfigured device, or the unconfigured device sends the second address it carries to the router, and the router sends the second address to the configured device, or other devices connected to the router, so that the configured device or other devices can send messages to the unconfigured device through the router according to the second address.

[0070] In one possible implementation, when there are multiple network-configured devices and the multiple network-configured devices include a communication fault device, determine the first target router to which the communication fault device is connected; control the device with normal communication to connect to the first target router according to the network configuration information of the communication fault device, and control the communication connection of the devices in the target network through the first target router, the third address of the communication fault device and the fourth address of the communication normal device.

[0071] In this embodiment, when there are multiple network-configured devices, it is determined whether the communication fault device is a network-configured device. When the judgment result is yes, the router currently connected to the communication fault device is determined to be the first target router, and other communication normal devices or other communication normal devices that are not network-configured are controlled to connect to the first target router according to the pre-stored network configuration information, so as to realize the communication connection between all devices through the first target router. The third address of the communication fault device currently in the first target router can be sent to other devices connected to the first target router, so that all devices can communicate with the communication fault device through the third address. At the same time, the first target router can forward the received fourth address of the communication normal device and send it to the communication fault device for storage, so that the communication fault device can communicate with the communication normal device through the first target router according to the fourth address. Among them, any communication normal device can receive the message of the communication fault device after connecting to the first target router and forward it to other devices through the target network, that is, as long as the communication connection between the communication fault device and any communication normal device is established through the first target router, the communication normal device can realize the communication connection of all devices through the target network and the first target router.

[0072] In one possible implementation, when there are multiple networked devices and the multiple networked devices do not include a communication fault device, the communication fault device is controlled to obtain the router signal strength of each networked device; the target networked device with the largest router signal strength is determined, and the second target router of the target networked device is determined; the communication fault device is controlled to connect to the second target router according to the network configuration information of the target networked device, and the communication connection of the devices in the target network is controlled through the second target router, the third address of the communication fault device and the fifth address of the target networked device.

[0073] In this embodiment, when there are multiple network-configured devices, it is determined whether the communication fault device is a network-configured device. When the determination result is no, the communication fault device needs to connect to the router of the network-configured device. At this time, the router signal strength of all routers that can be searched is obtained, and the device with the largest router signal strength is determined to be the target network-configured device of the router to be connected. The router of the target network-configured device is determined to be the second target router, and the communication fault device is controlled to connect to the second target router through the pre-stored network configuration information. After the connection is successful, the second target router can allocate a third address to the communication fault device, or the communication fault device sends its own third address to the second target router, so that it sends the third address to the target network-configured device, so that the target network-configured device can send a message to the communication fault device through the second target router according to the third address, and at the same time, the second target router sends the fifth address of the target network-configured device to the communication fault device, so that the communication fault device can send a message to the target network-configured device through the second target router according to the fifth address. At the same time, the target network-configured device can forward the message of the communication fault device to other devices through the target network, thereby realizing the communication connection between all devices.

[0074] S24. When there is no network-connected device, control the device with communication failure to turn on the hotspot, and control the device with normal communication to extract the hotspot name from the device information of the communication failure; control the device with normal communication to connect to the hotspot according to the hotspot name, so as to send verification information to the device with communication failure through the hotspot; when the verification information is successfully verified, control the device with communication failure and the device with normal communication to establish a communication connection according to the hotspot.

[0075] In this embodiment, when there is no network-configured device in the target network, the communication fault device is controlled to open the hotspot. If there is only one hotspot at this time, the communication normal device can directly connect to the hotspot to achieve temporary communication between devices. Among them, only one communication normal device can be controlled to connect to the hotspot. When the communication normal device receives a message sent by the communication fault device, the message can be forwarded to other devices through the target network, thereby reducing the number of hotspot connections and reducing processing pressure. Each communication normal device can also be controlled to communicate with the communication fault device through the hotspot, so that each communication normal device can receive the message of the communication fault device in time.

[0076] When multiple hotspots are included, each device with normal communication can search for the device information of the device with communication failure from the stored device information, extract the hotspot name from it, and search for the hotspot of the device with communication failure by the hotspot name to connect.

[0077] Furthermore, after successfully connecting to the hotspot, the device with normal communication first sends a verification message to the device with communication failure. The verification information may include but is not limited to the device's identity authentication, verification code or key parameters of the communication between the two parties to ensure the connection security between the devices and the accurate transmission of data. After receiving the verification information, the device with communication failure verifies it. The verification process includes confirming the identity and device status of the device with normal communication. If the verification information is successfully verified, the device with communication failure will send a verification confirmation message to the device with normal communication. When the verification confirmation message is received by the device with normal communication, the communication connection between the two devices is formally established through the hotspot. At this time, the device with normal communication and the device with communication failure can exchange data and synchronize status through the temporary communication path.

[0078] S25, generating fault information according to the communication fault device; sending the fault information to each device in the target network for display; when the communication fault device has not recovered to a normal state after a second time interval, controlling the communication fault device to disconnect from the target network.

[0079] In this embodiment, after the communication connection is established, fault information containing relevant information of the communication fault device is generated, which may include but is not limited to: the name and unique identifier of the communication fault device, the time when the fault occurs, the type of fault (such as communication interruption, network timeout, etc.), the possible cause of the fault (such as insufficient signal coverage, network interruption, hardware failure, etc.), etc. The system sends the generated fault information to all communication normal devices in the target network through the established communication connection. Each device that receives the fault information can use it for display to prompt the user that there is a communication fault device in the current network. The second time length is used to wait for the communication fault device to automatically recover. If the communication fault device successfully restores the connection with the target network after the second time length, the fault information is updated to all devices to notify other devices that the fault has been resolved and the device has resumed normal operation. If the communication fault device still does not restore normal connection after the second time length ends, the status of the communication fault device is detected again to confirm that it cannot restore communication, and the communication fault device is controlled to disconnect from the target network (for example, forcibly log off the device, clear the network information of the device or mark it as an unavailable device, etc.) to prevent the faulty device from affecting other normal operating devices. At the same time, after the communication fault device is disconnected from the target network, it sends updated fault information to other devices in the network again, prompting that the device has been forcibly disconnected. Other devices can adjust their own linkage operations or notify users to deal with the problem based on this information.

[0080] As an example, Figure 5The figure is a flow chart of another device control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the target network is a 485 network, and the device is a thermostat. After each thermostat is powered on, communication can be performed through the 485 network. Each thermostat synchronizes device information such as device identification and hotspot information with each other for storage. When any thermostat is successfully networked or the network configuration information changes, the network configuration information is synchronized to other thermostats through the 485 network, and each thermostat can obtain the network configuration information of the currently networked device.

[0081] When a thermostat fails, due to the thermostat address roll call in the 485 network, by continuously checking the data in the 485 network, the lack of data of a certain thermostat can determine that the specific thermostat is offline, that is, the communication failure device. At the same time, the offline thermostat itself can also confirm that it is offline through this method. When there is a networked thermostat, the unnetworked thermostat connects to the same route as the networked thermostat through the routing information obtained when the communication is normal, and communicates with the networked thermostat according to the address previously obtained in the 485 network. At this time, the broadcast (group control) control of the thermostat command can be realized. When the unnetworked thermostat communicates successfully, the thermostat will announce its own address to the networked thermostat. At this time, the addresses of the networked thermostat and the unnetworked thermostat are both known, which can achieve data synchronization between thermostats.

[0082] If there is no networked thermostat, temporary communication needs to be achieved by opening a hotspot through the WiFi network. When a thermostat is detected to be disconnected or faulty on the 485 network, the disconnected thermostat opens a hotspot, and the thermostat in normal communication searches for the module hotspot name backed up during normal communication. When the corresponding hotspot is found, it first tries to connect. If the connection is successful, it checks whether the thermostat information is a disconnected thermostat. If it is confirmed to be a disconnected thermostat, a temporary communication network is successfully established.

[0083] If there are multiple thermostats that have been networked, the route connected to the lost thermostat will also be the main route. The thermostats that are normally networked and have not established networked relationships will be connected to the route connected to the lost thermostat, and communication will be carried out after the connection is successful. When the temporary communication network is successfully established, the user will be prompted on the thermostat that a communication failure has occurred. This is temporary communication, and the thermostat number of the lost thermostat will be displayed. Remind the user that the current working status of the thermostat is not normal and needs to be repaired in time. After the establishment of the temporary communication network, the thermostat starts timing. When the thermostat runs for more than 72 hours and the fault still exists, the backup network communication will be stopped at this time, and the original thermostat that has not been networked will be disconnected from the route or hotspot connected to achieve temporary communication. The maximum time for temporary communication has been reached in the thermostat, and the 485 network needs to be maintained in time.

[0084] The control method of the device provided in the embodiment of the present invention can realize the communication connection of the device by adopting different communication modes when there is a communication fault device in the target network, according to whether there is a network-configured device at present, and whether there are multiple network-configured devices, including the communication fault device. When a communication fault device appears in the target network, the original communication function can still be kept in normal use for a period of time, thereby realizing temporary communication. When there is a network-configured device, the communication connection is realized through the router of the network-configured device. When there is no network-configured device, the communication fault device opens a hotspot to realize the communication connection with other devices, and ensures safe communication through a verification mechanism. When the faulty device does not recover to the normal state for a long time, the system generates fault information and broadcasts it to all devices for display, prompting the user of the fault situation. At the same time, the system automatically disconnects the faulty device that cannot be restored after a predetermined time interval to avoid affecting the normal operation of other devices. It can effectively improve the stability, automation and system reliability of communication between devices, reduce user intervention and optimize network resource management.
