How to get temperature from via JSON call from Domoticz?

[kimhav]

Been looking at the Domoticz API/JSON and it seems that it's not possible to get the temperature from one specific sensor or did I miss something which isn't clear or documented?

Well, Okay, let me rephrase, what I was looking for was to only get the temperature and nothing else from a sensor just to simplify the integration. The initial question was based on that I was playing around with IFTTT which currently doesn't support this kind of specific request. So in this case less is more

JSON is a format that you need to learn how to navigate. For example this linux bash command gets only the temperature.

Make sure you have jq installed: apt-get install jq

Code: Select all

curl -s 'http://username:password@ipaddress/json.htm?type=devices&rid=778' | jq .result[0].Data | sed 's/\"//g' | awk '{ print $1 }

The above in my case displays only the temperature number: 20.6 in the terminal.

Thank you, I'll continue with the above to pick out what I need; that really helps out.

Note that the raw output from the JSON was:

"20.6 C"

This removes the quotes: | sed 's/\"//g'

This part on the end displays only the first part of the string: | awk '{ print $1 }'

Get's 20.6

If you only wanted to get C and not the number you would use | awk '{ print $2 }'

Or you use dzVents.
Then you could do something like:
local temperature = domoticz.devices('NAMEOFTHESENSOR').temperature

Depends what you are trying to do.

If you use jq -r the result is also without quotes. saves you the trouble of writing/performing the sed.
