I currently run a dzVents script to update a value every minute. This value is the song currently playing on my Sonos speakers. As I only need this data when logging into the Domoticz interface and have no use for gathering this data over time, I was wondering if it were possible to fire this event ...

The values I’m posting here are only demo values as I don’t want to disclose the true urls of course. My goals was using POST as the variables are more clear in the code. I know, this is an OCD/first problem thing, but it should work but I can seem to find why it’s not.

But then I would still be where I don’t want to be. Think I’ll let this rest for now as I’m also looking into a Python option for me endgoal.

Don’t know. If I do this from the Docker/Domoticz bash, that does work:

Strange thing is that I’m losing all my parameters.

@jvdz I didn’t change post to get, I was referring to the markup. I was hoping to use post so the variables are more clearly visible instead of one long string as with get.

@habahabahaba adding tostring doesn’t make a difference.

@jvdz that does do something, but the reason I prefer POST over GET is the code is better readable and this way I can use GET just as well (first world problem)

Data seems to be post:

2024-12-19 18:06:12.217 dzVents: Debug: POST Test: OpenURL: method = POST
2024-12-19 18:06:12.217 dzVents: Debug: POST Test: OpenURL: post data = {"idx":108,"level":15,"status":"On"}
2024-12-19 18:06:12.217 dzVents: Debug: POST Test: OpenURL: headers = !#Content-Type ...

I’m running Domoticz on Docker, logged into the command line and ran the following curl command:
This created file with an array/values that I posted.

@hvdw I already tested it like that just to make sure it’s not the data missing that is causing the issue.

It isn’t blocked. The script is supposed to create a file and add the POST data to that file. The file is created, however the array is empty.

Same, I tested with the examples found on the wiki page.

The script works fine when calling it in the browser. Also Domoticz triggers the script, but the POST values just are empty/absent.

I have the following:

return {
on = {
devices = {
'Wekker',
}
},
execute = function(domoticz, switch)
domoticz.openURL({
url = 'https://domain.tld/script',
method = 'POST',
postData = {
idx = switch.idx,
status = switch.state,
level = switch.level
}
})
end
}

My problem is the ...

Changing this part:

domoticz.openURL('https://domain.tld/script/?idx=' .. switch.idx .. '&level=' .. switch.level .. '&status=' .. switch.state)

...to this:

domoticz.openURL({
url = 'https://domain.tld/script/?idx=' .. switch.idx .. '&level=' .. switch.level .. '&status=' .. switch.state ...

The following works for me:

return {
on = {
devices = {
'Voordeur',
'Spotjes werkblad',
'Plantenlamp',
'Staande lamp',
'Kerstboom',
'Spotjes eetkamer',
'Hanglamp',
'Spotjes kast',
'Spotjes woonkamer',
'Vloerlamp',
'TV',
'Slaapkamer 2',
'Kantoor',
'Achterdeur',
'Gangpad',
'Carpot ...

Cheers, I’ll give this a try.

Think I’ll look into dzvents for what I’m looking for. Found the following example:

return {
on = {
devices = {
'<exact name of the switch>'
}
},
execute = function(domoticz, switch)
if (switch.state == 'On') then
domoticz.log('Hey! I am on!')
else
domoticz.log('Hey! I am off!')
end ...

I don’t understand how this can be the idx or name of the device on triggering the on/off action. Can you eleborate?

I’m building a script that controls devices using the manufacturer’s API. First I’m adding virtual devices, then I’m adding an on and off script to each device. I was wondering if it’s possible to dynamically add device data to the script that is run, so I don’t have to add variables to every single ...
