Hi folks,
We're currently working on a projet in which the client wants to have SMS notifications.
Below is a very simplified drawing of the network architecture:
The alarm pipeline is set up on the FrontEnd server, as only this server has access to Internet, and it also has the Twilio Module installed.
Currently, I have an issue. I can easily specify the FrontEnd pipeline on the "Central Tag gateway" using a remote notification profile on the central tag gateway from the front end gateway BUT the issue is with the Bacnet tag gateway.
For specific reasons (mostly to avoid too much network traffic), the bacnet tag gateway is on a separate network and cannot directly interact with the front end server.
So currently on the front end gateway, we have a remote tag provider on the front end pointing to the central tag gateway, which is also a remote tag provider pointing to the bacnet tag gateway in order to get the tag values of the bacnet tag gateway displayed on the front end gateway.
I aim at doing the same thing for remote notification profile, except that when doing so, the front end pipelines are not exposed on the bacnet tag gateway, only the central tag gateway pipelines are shown...
Is there a way to expose the front end pipelines on the bacnet tag gateway ?
I know this is a "double" remote notification profile, which I assume is far from ideal but due to how the network is configured, it's a bit of a dead end.
My second idea was : Is it possible to create an alarm pipeline on the central tag gateway which would forward any alarm to the front end pipeline ?
I would very much like to avoid creating derived tags of the bacnet gateway on the central gateway if possible as this means that those derived tags need to be updated every time we modify the bacnet tags...
Thanks in advance
