JSON call behind Nginx reverse proxy Topic is solved

[ressof]

Hi

I have setup domoticz to run behind a reverse proxy and followed this guide

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/WebServer_Proxy

I have setup nginx as the guide and also added my proxys ip to trusted networks.
I can access domoticz from everywhere and I have to enter credentials and OTP to login. This works great.

But I want to do a JSON call to toggle a switch from remote.

I paste this command in safari to test it when I on 4G
https://user:password@domain/json.htm?t ... cmd=Toggle
but then I get 401 Unauthorized

I have added the device in "Set devices" under user, and the user have user rights.

I get this in my logs

Code: Select all

Some browsers do not support user:password in an url. So you have to test this with tools like curl or postman

[ressof]

Is there a way to use the API with POST or GET with headers and body instead of having the username and password in the URL? I'm using HTTPS

[ressof]

I tried with https://reqbin.com/post-online

I used this post:

Code: Select all

POST /json.htm HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic [Base64 encoded uername:password]
Host: [domain]
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 88

{
  "type": "command",
  "param": "switchlight",
  "idx": 775,
  "switchcmd": "Toggle"
}

but I get this in domoticz log:

Code: Select all

[WebServer] Deprecated RType () for API request. Call ignored, please use correct API Command! (192.168.x.x)

Hi.
Are you using zigbee plugin and what is the version of Domoticz?

Better try the html version. But I am not sure it will work with this application. From what remote application do you want to send the JSON command in the end?

In the end I want to use my Amazfit Watch that has a html app that looks like this

I dont use zigbeefordomoticz, I use zigbee2mqtt

I have tested with some different online json post tester and it seems that when the content is in this form it works:

Code: Select all

type=command&param=switchlight&idx=775&switchcmd=Toggle

but when it is json formatted like this it does not work

Code: Select all

{"type":"command","param":"switchlight","idx":"775","switchcmd":"Toggle"}

Is this something that can be fixed?

[waltervl]

In the app you cannot use as URL the complete URL (so empty body in the app)?

Code: Select all

https://yourdomain/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=775&switchcmd=Toggle

[ressof]

That worked when I added

Code: Select all

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

in header.

Thank you

[ressof]

But when I try to change a selector switch I get this error

Code: Select all

{
	"message" : "Error sending switch command, check device/hardware (idx=193) !",
	"status" : "ERROR",
	"title" : "SwitchLight"
}

[waltervl]

Did you follow the documentation? https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_ ... tain_level

[ressof]

I think so, this i the command I ran:

Code: Select all

/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=193&switchcmd=Set%20Level&level=40

[waltervl]

From a browser it works? Level 40 is a valid level number?

[ressof]

From a browser it worked. But from the logs in Domoticz it lead me to try this from the app instead of last command

Code: Select all

/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=193&switchcmd=Set Level&level=40

a space between "Set Level" instead of %20 and now it works

Thank you for your help.
