==Sending events from command line==

There is a utility in pluto (/usr/pluto/bin) that allows sending proper DCE message from command line. If you want for instance to trip motion sensors on/off you can achieve this in simple way (ID means ID of particular device that you send event for) :

Event "tripped on"

ID -1000 2 9 25 1

Event "tripped off"

ID -1000 2 9 25 0

Event "temperature changed"

ID  -1000 2 25 30 temperature_value

Event "output on"

ID  -1000 2 28

Event "output off"

ID  -1000 2 29

For instance - tripping security sensor with ID of 195 to ON :

/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend dcerouter 195 -1000 2 9 25 0
