Button to trigger snmpset

General
1

HI All

I am a real noob at pi/node-red, so please excuse what may seem quite simple, but I have tried every way I can research to get this working but cant find a solution.

I need to do a simple thing.

Click a button on UI and on the flow I linked a button to a snmpset node to trigget and snmp set.

Below is the set command from pi command,,,,,,

snmpset -c public -v 2c 192.168.0.29 1.3.6.1.4.1.362.5.5.2.0 i 1

I have a flow with the following:

Button---------snmpset

Button Settings : Label, payload set to number 1
snmpset node settings: Set Host, community and version correctly and the following in varbinds: [ { "oid":"1.3.6.1.4.1.362.5.5.1.0","type":"Integer","value":"1" } ]

I cant seem to get the cli command executed.

Any help, as i think it is the syntax of the varbinds?

No matter what I change i cant seem to get it working, error i get from above is "TypeError: argument must be a Number"

thanks

HI All

Further to my last post.

I believe the issue I was facing sits on the snmpset node.

I have a varbing presenting exactly that same as what a MIB broswser send to the snmp lock I am using, but the node refuses to send the snmpset as it claims that there is a type error and the value should be a number, which it is as can be seen below.

Further to my last post, I have managed to get the msg.payload from the button to present what looks to be correct to the snmpset node, but I dont think that the node works properly as it is rejecting the below and the value is clearly a number.

can you post the relevant part of your flow - so we can see where exactly the error is coming from.
In that list it says value: "1" which is of course a string... but it's not clear if that is what is being sent in or from where - or if the node should handle anyway - etc etc

Did you try setting "value":1 instead
