Syntax of Mediation.LinkTo tags

In a Mediation tag, you can specify multiple LinkTo tags. Processed top-down, the first match is used.

In a base protocol, you can look up a parameter in a device protocol by specifying either the parameter ID and the name of the protocol or the parameter name.

  • Example of a lookup by ID+protocol:

    <LinkTo pid="176" protocol="Philips TCL" />
    
  • Example of a lookup by name:

    <LinkTo description="Audio Output Level" />
    
  • In a device protocol, you can look up a parameter in a base protocol by simply specifying the parameter ID.

    Example of a lookup by ID:

    <LinkTo pid="71000" />
    

In a description tag, you can use simple wildcards (* and ?). You can also specify multiple descriptions separated by colons (:). In case of a read parameter, only read parameters will be checked. In case of a write parameter, only write parameters will be checked.

In an ops attribute, you can specify one or more conversions separated by semicolons (;).

Supported operations:

Operation Description
* Factor
/ Division
- Minus
+ Offset
% Remainder

Example of a LinkTo tag containing a conversion:

<LinkTo pid="176" protocol="Philips DVS3810" ops="*:1024;+:5" />
