Good morning,

(Raspberry Pi3 on the latest Beta)

I am trying to update a uservariable (according to the wiki) with the API command from a LUA script:

Code: Select all

os.execute('http://xxx:[email protected]:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updateuservariable&vname=RainPrediction&vtype=2&vvalue=25')

The Uservariable(String) is not updating. but when I give the same command in the browser, it works.

{
"status" : "OK",
"title" : "UpdateUserVariable"
}

Am I missing something?
Please help.

Regards, Hans

Try:

Code: Select all

os.execute('curl -s "http://xxx:[email protected]:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updateuservariable&vname=RainPrediction&vtype=2&vvalue=25" &')

You need to tell "what" it is that should open the url, in this case "curl". Plenty of examples here on the forum

Thank you so much, that did the trick.
