Hi,

I've recently bought a Fosbaby IP Camera to be used in a babyroom. One of it's features is that is has a Temperature sensor. In the WebUI you can set a minimum and maximum temperature so an alert can be sent if the current temperatue is out of that range. Now I would like to use the current temperaature to update a virtual sensor in Domoticz so if for example the room temp is below 15 degrees C I can turn on the heating system for a while.

I've managed to find an url which cam show me the current temperature: http://192.168.2.12:88//cgi-bin/CGIProx ... xx&pwd=xxx

which gives me the folowing result:

<CGI_Result>
<result>0</result>
<state>1</state>
<degree>18</degree>
</CGI_Result>

So i'm looking for a way to post the <degree> value to (I guess a JSON URL) to update a virtual sensor. Is there anyone who can put me on the right track?

For those who might be interested. To get the current temperature measured by the temperature sensor of the FosBaby and use that value to update a virtual temperature sensor in Domoticz I use the folowing bash-script which runs every minute through a crontab.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
content=$(curl "http://FOSCAM_IP:PORT//cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getTemperatureState&usr=<username&pwd=<password>")
echo $content
x=$(curl -L "http:///FOSCAM_IP:PORT//cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getTemperatureState&usr=<username&pwd=<password>" | sed -n "/<degree>/,/<\/degree>/p")
temp=$(echo $x | grep -o '[0-9]*')
curl -s "http://DOMOTICZ_IP:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=<IDX_SENSOR>&nvalue=$temp&svalue=$temp" &
exit 0

Hi Bram81,
Thats cool!! I use a Motorola baby cam which have a temp sensor as well. I was looking for a way to processing these values into donoticz. Your script will be a good starting point for me! Thnx
