openURL cancelQueuedCommands [Solved]

[barts2108]

In a dzVents script I can make a call like

Code: Select all

execute = function(dz, device)
       dz.openURL({
            url = 'http://192.168.199.20:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=71&switchcmd=On',
            method = 'GET',
            callback = ''
       }).afterSec(30)
end

how can I cancel this afterSec(30) if something happens before the 30 seconds expired, I want to cancel the openURL.

dz.cancelQueuedCommands()
or

dz.openUrl({...}).cancelQueuedCommands()

give an error.

afterSec() is not available for openURL
See the manual:

For commands for which dzVents must use openURL, only at() and afterAAA() methods are available.

But, I don't know if cancelQuedCommands() is available with afterAAA().

You are making a json call to domoticz using openURL?

Why not use device.switchOn() within dzVents? At least the documentation states that the device.switchOn() command supports command options, including cancelQueuedCommands().

Note 2 states: "for domoticz.openURL() only at(), afterAAA() and withinAAA() is available", so I guess that the switchOn() is implemented in a different way.

If you want an external device to be switched on/off with an url and use it in a dzvents script you can also make a virtual switch device and put the on/off urls in the action links. Then you can use that .aftersec() and cancelqueue as designed on the virtual switch.

Indeed I want to call another (second) Domoticz system

Some time after posting creating the virtual switch also came into my mind. Will give that a try.

You don't have device sharing set up? Because then you can control the devices of the 2nd Domoticz setup in the first.
