Configure the EmotiBit module

Settings are edited in HEAT Capture’s module settings UI, under HEAT.EmotibitModule.

🚫

LocalIPs defaults to two addresses baked into the module’s source (192.168.1.188, 192.168.1.167). These belong to the original developer’s network, not yours. If unicast discovery is enabled, set this to the actual local IP address of the workstation running HEAT Capture before first use, or discovery will silently fail.

Discovery

EmotiBit advertises itself over Wi-Fi. The module can find it by broadcast, by scanning a range of unicast addresses on the same subnet, or both.

Setting	Type	Default	What it controls
`EnableBroadcast`	boolean	`true`	Send discovery broadcasts on the local subnet.
`EnableUnicast`	boolean	`true`	Scan a range of unicast addresses for a device (see below).
`LocalIPs`	list of strings	`["192.168.1.188", "192.168.1.167"]`	Local IP address(es) of the workstation to advertise from. Must be changed to match the real network - see warning above.
`SendAdvertisingInterval`	integer (ms)	`1000`	Time between discovery broadcasts.
`CheckAdvertisingInterval`	integer (ms)	`100`	How often the module checks for a device’s response to a broadcast.
`UnicastIpRangeLowerBound`	integer	`2`	Lowest last-octet value scanned when unicast discovery is enabled.
`UnicastIpRangeUpperBound`	integer	`254`	Highest last-octet value scanned. Unicast discovery only ever scans the workstation’s own `/24` subnet - it cannot reach a device on a different subnet or VLAN.
`NUnicastIpsPerLoop`	integer	`1`	Addresses scanned per loop iteration.
`UnicastMinLoopDelay`	integer (s)	`3`	Minimum delay between unicast scan loops.
`AdvertisingThreadSleep`	integer (µs)	`1000`	Idle time between iterations of the advertising thread. Not the same unit as the interval settings above.

Sensors and network filtering

Setting	Type	Default	What it controls
`SensorWhiteList`	list of strings	`EA, EL, ER, PI, PR, PG, TH, AX, AY, AZ, GX, GY, GZ, MX, MY, MZ, HR, BI, SA, SF`	The EmotiBit type tags this module requests from the device. A tag left out of this list is never requested, even if the connected device supports it. See Data produced for what each tag is.
`NetworkIncludeList`	list of strings	`["..."]`	IP address patterns eligible for discovery.
`NetworkExcludeList`	list of strings	`["0.0.0.0"]`	IP address patterns excluded from discovery, checked after the include list.
`DataThreadSleep`	integer (µs)	`1000`	Idle time between iterations of the data collection thread.
`CollectMaxNumberOfPackets`	integer	`0`	Caps the number of packets collected per capture tick. `0` means unlimited.
`DebugLogs`	boolean	`false`	Enables verbose logging from the native bridge library.

Host settings

This module also exposes the generic settings every HEAT Capture module has - Enabled, Interval, OverrideNodeId/NodeId, Timeout. See Manage capture modules for what each does.
