Irrigation with multiple zones

[woody4165]

I thought that when launching an os.execute the execution was launched, but them the control return to the script.
It's not like this.
So since the irrigation.sh can last also for 30 mins, I modified it adding an " &" at the the end, so is going to launch and the script get back control.
In this way of course I can't get any response (if any) from the bash script.

Do you think is a good idea?

Let the script write to a logfile, or back to domoticz in a text device or a user variable.
You should (almost) always use & at the end of a bash command to let it continue.

Thanks!
How can I write into an user variable from a bash script?

Wiki json api
Just curl the url.

Thanks Egregius

got the json to update uservariable.
I'm not good in bash, how can I get if a previous curl, updating a switch via json, was ok or not?
I see that it return
{
"status" : "OK",
"title" : "SwitchLight"
}
if it's ok
and
{
"status" : "ERR",
}
if not ok.

What should I check?

My actual curl command is

Code: Select all

curl -s "http://$DOMO_IP:$DOMO_PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$IDX_ZONE1&switchcmd=On" > /dev/null

Thanks

In http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 780#p83346 I check the OK status and there's also a if statement.
