What is a plug-in and why would I want it?
Smart Energy networks contain a variety of devices, including thermostats, load
controllers, smart plugs, and in-premise displays. Many of these have functions that are not
covered by the Smart Energy standard. Plug-ins, also known as drivers, are software
components that Digi provides to expose the additional common functionality for many of these
devices. For example, thermostats expose the capability to adjust set-points, set schedules,
and read the current temperature. None of these capabilities are defined in the Smart Energy
profile.
What is the plug-in manager?
The plug-in manager is a software component that extends the Smart Energy
Framework installed on your gateways. The plug-in manager also allows you to install, remove,
and query the status of installed plug-ins.
Where do I find the plug-ins?
A complete list of plug-in drivers can be found at the Digi Technical Support website.
Following is a list of several commonly-used plug-ins.

Carrier Comfort Choice Thermostat Plug-in (PN: 82003230)
Schneider EER56x00 Thermostat Plug-in (PN: 82003231)
Note: If installing the plugin(s) on a ConnectPort X2e Smart Energy Gateway, use the file(s)
from the python2.7 directory. If installing the plugin(s) on a ConnectPort X2 Smart Energy
gateway, use the file(s) from the python2.4 directory.

How do I know if I need to install a plug-in?
You may need to install a plug-in on your gateway if you are not using an application
like www.livesmartlee.com. Smartlee installs plug-ins; however, it does not upgrade them, so
you may need to follow the instructions in this document to bring your plug-ins up to date.
You may also be using a custom application through a third party service provider,
instead of using Smartlee. If this is the case, you should to contact your service provider for any
required plug-in updates instead of updating the plug-ins yourself.
Digi provides the following information primarily for Digi partners and third party
providers. For any of the devices found on the following list, you must install a driver if you
want to access additional capabilities, such as scheduling or compressor runtime information.

What if my device is not listed?
If your device is not listed, Digi has not written a plug-in to support the device. We do
not currently suggest that you attempt to write your own plug-in. If you want Digi to add your
device to the list, please contact your Digi salesperson to request pricing for a custom driver.

How to install your drivers
•
•
Smart Energy Gateway: ConnectPort X2 Smart Energy, ConnectPort X2e Smart Energy
Supported Smart Energy Device
In addition, you will need:
•
•
A Device Cloud login account (https://login.etherios.com)
The plug-in for your supported Smart Energy device
How do I install the plug-in manager?
The plug-in manager requires a Digi gateway running the Smart Energy Framework to
work properly. The following instructions use Device Cloud to update your Smart Energy
gateway.
STEP 1 - UPLOAD THE PLUG-IN MANAGER TO THE GATEWAY
1. Login using your Device Cloud account.
2. Navigate to the devices screen via Device Management -> Devices.
3. Double click the target device in the devices table.
4. Select Python from the left-hand navigation menu.
5. Click the upload file icon.
6. Upload plugin_manager.zip to the /WEB/python directory.
Note: If installing the plugin(s) on a ConnectPort X2e Smart Energy Gateway, use the
file(s) from the python2.7 directory. If installing the plugin(s) on a ConnectPort X2
Smart Energy gateway, use the file(s) from the python2.4 directory.
STEP 2 - CONFIGURE THE SMART ENERGY FRAMEWORK
1. Navigate to the API explorer via Documentation -> API Explorer.
2. Select POST in the HTTP method section.
3. Paste the following XML to the text box, replacing $deviceId with the Device Cloud
Device ID of your device.

How do I install a plug-in and its dependencies?
To install plug-ins, a device must be equipped with the Smart Energy Framework and
must have the plug-in manager installed. If the plug-in has dependent plug-ins, these
dependencies must be installed on the gateway first. Note that each plugin.yml file lists the
other plug-ins on which it depends. The current list of dependencies is listed in the following
table. Note: you must install all required dependencies. For example, the Carrier Comfort
Choice requires the following drivers in order: plugin_manager, proxy_cluster.

2. Double click the target device in the devices table.
3. Select Python from the left-hand navigation menu.
4. Click the upload file icon.
5. Upload the plug-in package(s) to the /WEB/python directory.
STEP 2 - Install the plug-in package
1. Navigate to the API explorer via Documentation -> API Explorer.
2. Select POST in the HTTP method section.
3. Paste the following XML to the text box, replacing $deviceId with the Device ID of the
gateway and $packageName with the name of the plug-in package uploaded in Step 1.
Install package request XML

</targets>
<install_package synchronous="true">
<filename type="string">$packageName</filename>
</install_package>
</do_command>
</rci_request>

</sci_request>
How do I update an existing plug-in?
1. Stop all the plug-ins and their dependent processes by running stop_plugin.
2. Uninstall the plug-in you want to update by running uninstall_plugin.
3. Update the plug-in file using Device Cloud to perform a file upload.
4. Install the new plug-in using install_package.
5. Restart all the plug-ins that you stopped in Step 1. You can also restart the plug-ins by
rebooting your device.

Command Reference
This section describes some additional commands to help you manage the plug-ins
installed on your gateway. The following terms are used in this section:
•
A plug-in is enabled if it is configured to load whenever the plug-in manager starts.
•
A plug-in is active if its configuration has been loaded by the plug-in manager. A plug-in
becomes active after it is started, and inactive after it stops.
The plug-in manager exposes several RPC methods for interacting with plug-ins.
list_plugins: Gets the name and version of all plug-ins on the gateway
