Overview
The MSEA device interface allows the Events2HVAC server to send commands to Johnson Controls Metasys MSEA network objects. The device interface communicates with the MSEA network using SOAP/XML (Web Services) and the MSSDA (Metasys System Secure Data Access) ActiveX component.
The interface allows Events2HVAC to directly control Johnson Controls MSEA HVAC objects and schedule actions automatically based on the buildings event/room reservation system.
