You can use a json call :-
[url]http://IPADDRESS:PORT/json.htm?type=command¶m=renamedevice&idx=IDX&name=DEVICENAME[/url]
replace uppercase chars with params
You can call the Json from within LUA use 127.0.0.1 as IP address
Beware command¶m may cause ΒΆ error see

It probably would help to show your LUA script so we can see whether that is indeed correct or not.

Understood something doesn't work, but you need to provide more information when you want anybody to help.

I'm a beginner and I'm just trying to write a script. I started with an switch action for test. And it does not work.
I need a simple script to check if a device is available. If so, it changes its name to $newdevicename so it is invisible.
I would like to customize this script to change the device name
Code: Select all
commandArray = {}
ping_success=os.execute('ping -c1 192.168.0.113') --tablet
if ping_success then
print("tablet online")
here link to json to change device name
else
print("tablet offline")
here link to json to change device name
end
return commandArray
What should I put in the script to work?

try
HttpPart=("curl '
http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?param=re ... mmand&idx=" .. IDX .. "&name=" .. DEVICENAME .. "' &")
os.execute(HttpPart)
Where the variable IDX is the switch id you want to change and variable DEVICENAME is the new name of the device

I fail to understand why one would want to rename a device to reflect a status. I would simply have a device and set it to On or Off depending on whether it's online or not.

I think it quite a neat idea by renaming the device $name you can make it disappear from the dashboard and then reappear when its available again.
I might use that to get round the 10 device limit on selector switches if i have 10 selector switches I can have 100 choices super selector and hide the 9 switches that have not been selected
