IR Sensor on Raspberry Pi 3

[Harlov]

I think I have got it working with savings in /etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/ but when I need to type in Domoticz

EV_KEY KEY_PLAYPAUSE 1 curl -s "http: // url: port / json.htm? Type = Command & param = Switch light & idx = IDXofNEOplug & switchcmd = On"

I get the error message in Domoticz saying Invalid ON Action!

Of course I have changed the IP ich idx

I would first verify it ( = http: // url: port / json.htm? Type = Command & param = Switch light & idx = IDXofNEOplug & switchcmd = On) works in the browser. I think it's case sensitive so the string you have there will not work like that but I'm not sure if you just wrote something there and have the correct format in the .conf file (there are also some extra spaces on your example but perhaps those are because of some copy/paste issue? )

It could also be security (disable authentication on local network), protected switch or something like that. Check the correct json syntax here: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_ ... Fswitch_on

edit: I see you edited the post but the syntax is still wrong. Should be something like:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.???:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1&switchcmd=On

note the added "&switchcmd

Here is the correct comands i type in it is perhaps wrong

EV_KEY KEY_PLAYPAUSE 1 curl -s "http://192.168.0.???:8080/json.htm?type ... t&idx=1=On"

aha okej
I wrote that you showed and got 401 Unauthorized

[Harlov]

...but when I need to type in Domoticz...

This I don't quite get. You should not be typing anything in Domoticz (not sure though if I understand the sentence correctly )...

EV_KEY KEY_PLAYPAUSE 1 curl -s "http://192.168.0.???:8080/json.htm?type ... t&idx=1=On"
EV_KEY KEY_PLAYPAUSE 1 curl -s "http://192.168.0.???:8080/json.htm?type ... &idx=1=Off"

Also, why are you trying to link both On and Off to same ir command?

Wrong of me, I'm tired so that's probably why I can not think right
may try more tomorrow and see if I can get it to work, I get hope

Thank you for your help is appreciated

Don't worry, you are close For the "unauthorized", either disable authentication in local network (Domoticz settings -> System -> Local networks) or if you use basic authentication this should also work:

Code: Select all

I turned off Authentication: and added the Local Networks IP number 192.168.0.* And then it works as it should when I test in the browser But it does work not when I press on the remote control it may have to do with triggerhappy, I do not know.

Well, you can keep the authentication on, just keep the bypass for local network the you've set it up now. If you have opened the Domoticz port to outside network (and forwarded the IP) then anyone can access it...

But it does work not when I press on the remote control it may have to do with triggerhappy, I do not know.

I trust you reloaded Triggerhapppy after modifying the .conf file? If not, please do and test again. Also, are you 100% sure the remote's keypress is interpreted as "EV_KEY KEY_PLAYPAUSE"? It was what you saw when running the "dump" command?

I did a reload of TriggerHappy but nothing happens when I press any buttons

# KEY_PLAYPAUSE 0       command

but nothing happens

Is it because I use the Logitech Harmony 650 remote makes it not work

[Nautilus]

Is it because I use the Logitech Harmony 650 remote makes it not work

No, I think it is the "key name" that is wrong. Let me give you an example. When I turn on the "dump" and press a certain key I get:

Code: Select all

EV_KEY	KEY_LEFTCTRL	1	/dev/input/event1
# KEY_LEFTCTRL	1	command
EV_KEY	KEY_LEFTSHIFT	1	/dev/input/event1
# KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT	1	command
EV_KEY	KEY_2	1	/dev/input/event1
# KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_2	1	command
EV_KEY	KEY_2	2	/dev/input/event1
# KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_2	2	command
EV_KEY	KEY_LEFTCTRL	0	/dev/input/event1
# KEY_2+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTCTRL	0	command
EV_KEY	KEY_LEFTSHIFT	0	/dev/input/event1
# KEY_2+KEY_LEFTSHIFT	0	command
EV_KEY	KEY_2	0	/dev/input/event1
# KEY_2	0	command

So the dump outputs all of the above. From all these, the correct line in my .conf file is just:

Code: Select all

KEY_2+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTCTRL 1 curl -s "http://url:port/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=356&switchcmd=On"

So I'd drop the EV_KEY away at least and try with just:

Code: Select all

KEY_PLAYPAUSE 1 curl -s "http://192.168.0.148:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1=On"

Remember to reload...

Code: Select all

KEY_PLAYPAUSE 1 curl -s "http://192.168.0.148:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1=On"

Remember to reload...

Tried to switch to without EV_KEY but nothing happens. I also did reload twice but nothing works, your code looks after all begin the same way as my codes so then you might wonder what is wrong

Code: Select all

KEY_PLAYPAUSE 1 curl -s http://

[Nautilus]

Hmm, strange indeed. Only couple of things left to try I think.

==========
EDIT:Maybe just a typo in your post above, but after posting this I noticed the command below is still faulty, it is missing the &switchcmd part, i.e. should be: curl -s "http://192.168.0.148:8080/json.htm?type ... ]switchcmd[/b]=On"
==========

1. From command line run the curl command and see if it goes through as expected. I mean:

Code: Select all

curl -s "http://192.168.0.148:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1=On"

Note! Copy/paste it from the .conf file so that you use the exact same format. If this triggers the desired action in Domoticz, then this part certainly works.

2. Choose another IR command and this time use the full keyboard in Flirc and associate the IR command to some simple key combination. E.g. what I used in my example CTRL+ALT+2. Now that you are not using a normal keyboard key it might cause some issues.

If 1. fails, then we need to try to fix that before moving to 2. Post any error messages you might get here...

I changed the conf file and made a reload and this is the result

Take away -s (s = silent) and you should see some output. In any case, you can check from Domoticz log (switch log) if it fired.

But if this does not work, then go for point number 2. from the earlier post and try with a standard key (combination)...
