Tasker and AutoTools Json Read

[mlamie]

I have read through several topics on this forum and have not seen any complete guide how to setup Domoticz in combination with Tasker. I'm experimenting and all I have now is a on/off switch command based on a fixed HTTP GET command. Quite straight forward. Some time ago AutoTools is released and can read JSON now.

If I use this:
[url]http://<username:password@>domoticz-ip<:port>/json.htm?type=devices&filter=all&used=true&order=Name[/url]
- <username:password@> = the username and password to access Domoticz, this is optional.
- domoticz-ip = the IP-address or hostname of your Domoticz installation.
- <:port> = the port number of your Domoticz installation, this is optional.

I do get a nice list with all the device and with the explanation of the AutoTools Json Read - Getting Started page I can get some flash messages which make sense, but flash messages are quite useless. Is there someone who can help to get some practical automation tasks done? Write those values as variables, implement those variables in tasks etc...

Hi mlamie,

There is no need to use a Json, but it can make things easier. Here is a task from the app I created with tasker which requests the domoticz data and writes it to a file without AutoTools...you can then read the file and extract device names and IDs..The full tasker project xml is on github if you are interested.

Code: Select all
