Helvar integration

Overview

Helvar interface is able to connect to one or more Helvar routers and devices. The functions of the devices are represented as Server Items. In addition, groups are supported too.

The costs of the extension are a fix fee. In addition, for each used router, group and device, available license data points are decreased. More information about the licensing can be found here: https://netxautomation.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PLATFORM/pages/1562640385
