Introducing the RSC gem

Example

require 'rsc'

# args: 1) RScript server address, 2) RScript package directory
rsc = RSC.new 'rse','http://a0.jamesrobertson.eu/qbx/r/dandelion_a3'
dev, state = 'light', 'on'
rsc.homeauto.set_state dev, state

The above example sets a bedside light on by using the RSC gem which calls the package 'homeauto' with the method 'set_state' while supplying the arguments dev (device), and state (either on or off). The RSC gem creates the homeauto object dynamically by constructing the methods from the RScript file in dandelion_a3.

RScript file homeauto.rsf:

<package>
  <job id='set_state'>
    <script>

      appliance, state = args
      reg = @services['registry']
      reg.set_key "hkey_apps/homeauto/#{appliance}/state", state
      
    </script>
  </job>    
  <job id='fetch_state'>
    <script>

      appliance = args.first
      reg = @services['registry']
      begin
        r = reg.get_key("hkey_apps/homeauto/#{appliance}/state").text.to_s
        String.new(r)
      rescue
        reg.set_key "hkey_apps/homeauto/#{appliance}/state", 'off'
        'new registry item set'
      end
      
    </script>
  </job>    
  
  <job id='toggle_state'>
    <script>

      require 'sps-pub'
      
      appliance = args.first
      reg = @services['registry']
      
      key = "hkey_apps/homeauto/#{appliance}/state"
      
      begin
      
        state = reg.get_key(key).text.to_s
        new_state = state == 'on' ? 'off' : 'on'
        reg.set_key key, new_state
        
        message = "aida: %s %s" % [appliance, new_state]
        puts 'message :' + message.inspect
        
        $ws.send message

        
        new_state
        
      rescue
      
        reg.set_key key, 'off'
        'new registry item set'
      end

    </script>
  </job>     
</package>
