Introduction

CcspHomeSecurity component supports HNAP (Home Network Administration Protocol). HNAP is an HTTP-SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) - based protocol that allows advanced programmatic configuration and management of devices connected to Home Network

Overview

CcspHomeSecurity component uses socket programming to communicate with Home Security devices where CcspHomeSecurity acts as a server and accepts different requests from device clients. HTTP requests from client can be a GET or POST. CcspHomeSecurity parses the HTTP request header and decides whether authentication is required or not. If required, the client has to provide valid authentication as part of HTTP header. It is necessary for the client to make a HNAP request and provide SOAPAction field as part of HTTP request. Supported SOAP action methods:

- GetDeviceSettings

- SetBridgeConnect

According to request actions CcspHomeSecurity uses Message-Bus to GET or SET device related details. Details are formatted to SOAP message encoded using XML and the message is sent as response to the client. After proper validation of request field the Server finally sends the HNAP response to the client
