@waaren: just sent you a PM with the log file info.

I have not received it.

Sorry, my fault, made a mistake, it is sent now.

Got myself a cloud key gen 2, this needs another way to authenticate. I modified the script to the code below, it works but the file domocookie.txt needs to be removed to get it work. Now I've got a bash script that removes the file domocookie.txt every 2 minutes. I think there should be a better solution but can't figure it out myself

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        timer = { 'every 3 minutes' },

        presenceHistory = { history = true, maxMinutes = 6 } 		-- Change maxMinutes value to appropriate for your devices
    },
    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        local controllerUrl = 'https://192.168.178.42/' 	--Change IP and Port to your Unifi Controller settings
        local controllerLogin = 'some user'						-- Your username for Unifi Controller
        local controllerPassword = 'my password'-- Your password for Unifi Controller
       
        local devices = {

            ['62:6e:70:7f:6b:45'] = 783,	-- phone 2
        }

        if (item.isTimer) then
            domoticz.openURL({
                url = controllerUrl .. 'api/auth/login',
                method = 'POST',
                postData = {

You practically have a solution already in your script.

Can you try changing

Code: Select all

        if (item.isTimer) then
            domoticz.openURL({
                url = controllerUrl .. 'api/auth/login',

Never mind, find the solution myself. Had a - in the hostname and that's not working. Now with one "kfhasdjaksdk" its working perfect !

[rgroothuis]

The json response is also giving the device name back, besides the MAC address. You can check on device name as well. I can share my script (created with support from Warren) if you are interested. Currently not at home, cannot copy and paste. Let me know if you need this example script.

on an iPhone you can switch this off per wifi network.
i have it switched off for my home network.
settings-wifi- choose network-switch off private address

Hi, I got the same problem. Also have the cloudkey gen2. I Need to delete the domocookie.txt to get the script to work. If I don't delete it I get this:

yes, you need to change the path of the cookie in the script:

Code: Select all

local cookie = 'full qualified name of coookie'

In my case it is:

Code: Select all

local cookie = /opt/domoticz/userdata/domocookie.txt

Changing this should make the message 404 ==> not found disappear

Thx Gerald, working now

Had this thing working like a charm in the passed with an USG and Domoticz running on Synology. Moved to an UDM-SE and it's not working anymore. Changed the script to the same like post by basmaaks » Saturday 15 May 2021 10:00 (not the cooky part).

Getting error: dzVents: Error: (3.0.1) HTTP/1.1 response: 404 ==>> Not Found

How can I get this working again on my UDM-SE? Also, FW is enabled on UDM, rule needed to read from Domoticz to Unifi?

Thnx in advanced.
