How to send externalevent command from Domoticz to synology surveillance station?

[Jumper3126]

Hi all,

I would like a snapshot to be taken by the Synology surveillance station, when a button is pressed in domoticz. I followed the instructions in the surveillance station and the command line I need to use is automatically generated.

Code: Select all

https://192.168.1.100:5001/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.SurveillanceStation.ExternalEvent&method="Trigger"&version=1&eventId=1&eventName="This is external event1"&account="{account}"&password="{password}"

I created a bash file with:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
curl -k https://192.168.1.100:5001/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.SurveillanceStation.ExternalEvent&method="Trigger"&version=1&eventId=1&eventName="This is external event1"&account="xxx"&password="xxx"

If I run the bash file, I get:

Code: Select all

{"error":{"code":101},"success":false}

I think thismight be more a synology thing than a domoticz thing, but perhaps someone here knows how to solve this, and then it can be of value to others as well

Quite an old post to reply to, but don't know if it has been solved...

Best guess is that the account you're using does not have the right permissions. I set up a separate user:
- admin user
- access to Surveillance Station app
- access to surveillance folder

Also make sure to use a password that does not contain characters that can give an issue if placed in a http command (e.g. a space is transformed into %20, which causes the request to fail). Try running the http request in a browser first until you get Success returned.
