10 How to parse value from subscribing MQTT topic
This example shows how to parse value from subscribing MQTT topic. Get the value and calculate the average value for group F1, F2, F3 and F4. The testing topic name is "testtopic/test/no1/123456".
And the subscribed content is like following:
"Cluster_ID": "2",

}
So we decode this json into lua object, and then assign the values from "Value" field into table (addresses HDW1~HDW101, HDW112~HDW202, HDW213~HDW313, HDW324~HDW424).
Due to the MQTT code is not able to running on the simulator from PC, following picture is the testing result from actual HMI screen:
The JSON parser function is located on mqttAction.lua, called mqtt_msg_callback.
11 High-Low Byte Switch
The example shows how to convert high bytes and low bytes for one 16bit address. Main function is like following:
local shiftHigh = lowByte << 8
local highByte = val & 0xff00
local shiftLow = highByte >> 8
local newVal = shiftHigh|shiftLow
12 Week time setting
The example shows how to use day time to control functions:
13 MQTT Multi-link
The example shows use mqtt realize multi-machine function：
14 CSV File Generation
The example shows convert the custom lua table data into csv string, then output as a file:
The following steps take HMI simulator as example:
1. Click button "Create Table" to draw lua table in screen.
2. Click button "Save as csv" to save the file into HMI storage path. On the HMI simulator, user can enter the simulation path of U disk to check the file whether create successfully.
3. Click button "upload" to upload csv file into server side. In this case, we can check the upload path for PC.
The csv file generation is mainly using the following function to implement, the customized data is argument tab, and csv file storage path in HMI is "udisk:weather1.csv":
The table drawing is mainly using the following function to implement:
15 String customized length word-wrapped
The example shows automatically line break for long string content according to user input length.
The following are some demonstrated strings from offline simulator:
16 Weather forecast HTTP API request
The example shows how to parse value from HTTP response body, and display into HMI internal address. The test forecast official website is https://www.weatherapi.com/
From the API explorer of weatherapi, the one day forecast response would be like the follows(Because the original data of JSON is very long, there we just show the part of it):

17 CSV File Reading
The example shows how to read the csv file into HMI, and then display as table.
The core code is from file readcsv.lua:
1) The file path is set as Sheet_2023_06_13_15_29_45.csv at the root path for USB;
2) Remember to change csv separator in the second parameter from function csv_csvToTable according to user's need, this demo is using semicolon as separator;
3) The reading content is a two-dimensional table, can use the table index to locate the specify data cell;
For example, want to read the 2nd row C column from the table, the table index will be like table[2][3].
18 How to convert a number to a string
