Selector switch URL's

[Apievuisy]

Hi,

I have a Denon Receiver which responds wonderfully to http requests. When i fire a command in the web browser, the receiver responds accordingly.
I made a switch to power the Denon on and Off. This works fine.

Then i wanted to expand the capabilities by creating a selector switch to change the source of the receiver.

In the actions pane i added the various urls to control the receiver. This does not work. The receiver does not respond to my requests.
Could it be that the selector switch does something to the urls which makes them unreadable for the receiver?
Here is an example of a url that works in the web browser but not from the selector switch:
http://192.168.1.244/MainZone/index.put ... eStatus%2F

Then i tried to fix this in blockly:

This also does not work, i think because the "Quoted" string is not recognized... when i tell blockly to look for != "Game" then the script fires and acts accordingly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Did you change your switch type from "On/Off" to "Selector"?
This can cause problems. If so then try it again by creating a new switch from Dummy hardware type.

With your Blockly, try using the Selector "Level" in the If block:

If Selector = Level 20%

Hi, thanks for your reply!

I think i didnt change the type, but i will check tonight if making a new dimmer switch will do the trick.

I also tried the level percentages in blockly and this did not work..

Apologies, you're correct.

The "If" should work with the level name and the "Set" should work with the level name or level %. The below is working:-



Both "Kitchen Extract Manual" and "Extract Fan" are selector switches created from the Virtual Dummy hardware.

The "If" should work with the level name and the "Set" should work with the level name or level %. The below is working:-

@StanHD, does the set level name also works for labels other then Off ? (cannot test right now)

btw. Please use uploaded images ( the link might not work in the future )

@waaren, I don't think it does. I just looked through my Blockleys and in every instance (other than "off") I have used the Level %.
(I also use 0% to set switch to off)

I will find out about uploading images, thanks for the tip.

OK, so here's some testing:-

Neither Set instructions work:

Both Set instructions work

Both Set instructions work

So I was incorrect (again ). When I analyzed my existing Blockleys that utilise "Off", I found them not working correctly. (I was sure they used to work), I stand corrected.

Thanks for the reply's. They pointed me in the right direction
The substype of "Denon Source" was lightwave-RF and not Selector Switch.
I deleted the device and made a new one, after that i added the various url's.
Now evertything works as it should.

Thanks again!

Ps. Is it possible to mark this topic as solved?

As topic starter you should be able to do that yourself. Do you see the V symbol ?
