Execute .bat script as administrator Topic is solved

[lyngtoft]

Hi,

I have a Yamaha reciever which has a webinterface where I can turn it on/off via a couple of .bat files in Windows.
Now I have created a dummy switch with
On command = script://E:\DomoticzScripts\Yamaha\Start.bat
Off command = script://E:\DomoticzScripts\Yamaha\Stop.bat

I have set the service account running Domoticz to my admin user.
I have tried pointing to a shortcut pointing to the .bat file (so I could set the always run as admin flag).

But can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Brilliant thanks, it was the UAC. Disabled it and set the service back to Local system.

Do you know if I can combine this on/off button with a "System Alive Checker (Ping)" to get the status updated if I switch it on outside of Domoticz?

Actually nevermind, I can see the reciever is basically always online, so will need to do something else.

Doesn't it provide a web interface?
Where you could pull a json reply and look for the data there?
For a Denon receiver it works with XML status like this:
