Object Creation

To create a devicestatus object, load the @brightsign/status module using the require() method.

var DeviceStatusClass = require("@brightsign/devicestatus");
var devicestatus = new DeviceStatusClass();

devicestatus

getPowerStatus()

Promise<Powerinformation> getPowerStatus()

Returns the device battery status as "charging", "discharging", "complete", "absent", or "fault".

getExtensions()

Returns a promise which yields an object containing an extensions array with each element containing at least a name field. Other fields may also be present, but should not be relied on.

getPOEStatus()

Returns information about whether PoE (Power over Ethernet) network is supported, available, and/or active on a device.

Powerinformation

source string: Possible values are "battery", "Ethernet", or "AC"
switch_mode string: Returns "soft" or "hard"
battery string: Possible values are "charging", "discharging", "complete", "absent", or "fault"
soc_percent int: The state of charge of the battery in percent from 0 (empty) to 100 (full)

Extensionsinformation

name string: The name of the extension
size int: Some extensions return a size and others do not. Players that have AC3 or E-AC3 licenses installed will report those as extensions but no size will be included.

POEpowerinformation

value float: Returns the "Power value"
units string: returns the "Power value" units ("W")

POEinformation

status string: The status string can be "active", "standby", or "inactive"
power POEpowerinformation: See POEpowerinformation above for details.
