Update status (dummy) switch with LUA / DzVents

I'm not a programmer, so I'm looking for a starting point.

Situation:
- Dummy switch for turning on / off Motion Detection on (Foscam) Webcam through URL with CGI-BIN
- With CGI-BIN / URL it's possible to detect current state of Motion Detection

Example:
Check status MD on Foscam Webcam

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.10:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr=XXX&pwd=XXX
Result:

Code: Select all

<CGI_Result>
    <result>0</result>
    <isEnable>1</isEnable>
    <linkage>142</linkage>
    <snapInterval>1</snapInterval>
    <sensitivity>3</sensitivity>
    <triggerInterval>0</triggerInterval>
    <isMovAlarmEnable>1</isMovAlarmEnable>
    <isPirAlarmEnable>0</isPirAlarmEnable>
    <schedule0>281474976710655</schedule0>
    <schedule1>281474976710655</schedule1>
    <schedule2>281474976710655</schedule2>
    <schedule3>281474976710655</schedule3>
    <schedule4>281474976710655</schedule4>
    <schedule5>281474976710655</schedule5>
    <schedule6>281474976710655</schedule6>
    <area0>1022</area0>
    <area1>1022</area1>
    <area2>1020</area2>
    <area3>992</area3>
    <area4>768</area4>
    <area5>772</area5>
    <area6>518</area6>
    <area7>7</area7>
    <area8>7</area8>
    <area9>7</area9>
</CGI_Result>
What I like:
- When <isEnable>xx1</isEnable> = 1 and Dummy Switch is ON -> no action
- When <isEnable>xx/isEnable> = 1 and Dummy Switch is OFF -> update status Dummy Switch to ON
- When <isEnable>xx</isEnable> = 0 and Dummy Switch is OFF ->no action
- When <isEnable>xx</isEnable> = 0 and Dummy Switch is ON ->update status Dummy Switch to OFF

Is this possible and how do I start this in DzVents of LUA?
Maybe there is an example where I can hold on-to, so I can try to build a script.

Hi

This is possible in both Lua and dzEvents
Just purge the url with io.popen and capture the content in a string.
Then you can do whatever you want with the captured string.
Read an XML or Json string and split, or just do a string.find() and string.sub() all depending on where you would like to go

example of getting content of a website with io,popen with curl in lua

Code: Select all

function os.capture(cmd, raw)				-- os.command uitvoeren en resultaat daarvan lezen in string
  local f = assert(io.popen(cmd, 'r'))
  local s = assert(f:read('*a'))
  f:close()
  if raw then return s end
  s = string.gsub(s, '^%s+', '')
  s = string.gsub(s, '%s+$', '')
  s = string.gsub(s, '[\n\r]+', ' ')
  return s
end
you could call this function with

Code: Select all

 	commando = 'curl -s https://api.telegram.org/'..apikey..'/sendPhoto -F chat_id='..chat_id..' -F photo=@cam/'..naam..'.jpg'
	result = os.capture(commando)
	if (not(string.find(result, '"ok"'))) then print("SendCam error "..result) end
Other example using json

Code: Select all

	url = 'https://public-xxx"

	json = assert(loadfile "C:/PROGRA~2/domoticz/scripts/lua/JSON.lua")()
	local config = assert(io.popen('curl "'..url..'"'))
	local x = config:read('*all')
	config:close()
	local jsonx = json:decode(x)
All are just copy paste from working scripts i use myself for different purpose.
Hope it will get you inspired to create you own...

First, thanx for the reply. I was already started with looking at existing scripts and came up with the following

Code: Select all

--
-- Domoticz passes MotionDetect status from webcams to Dummy Switches
--

-- Variables (Customize) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local gebruiker			= "xxx"         		 		-- uservar for username
local wachtwoord		= "xxx"		           			-- uservar for password
local tempfilename 		= '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/tmp/motion.tmp'   	-- can be anywhere writeable
local debug			= false		                        	-- false, true for domoticz log
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
function file_exists(path)	-- function to check if a file exists
    local file = io.open(path, "rb")
    if file then file:close() end
    return file ~= nil
end

commandArray = {}

	-- Array of webcams to be checked
	-- cam= Name of Dummy Device in domoticz
	-- url= URL used to check the webcam
	webcams = {
		Gang = {cam="MotionDetect gang" ; url='http://192.168.0.30:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr='..gebruiker..'&pwd='..wachtwoord..''};
		Huiskamer = {cam='MotionDetect woonkamer' ; url='http://192.168.0.31:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr='..gebruiker..'&pwd='..wachtwoord..''};
		Buiten = {cam='MotionDetect buiten' ; url='http://192.168.0.32:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr='..gebruiker..'&pwd='..wachtwoord..''};
	}
	
	-- Webcam status
	for webcam,location in pairs(webcams) do
		url='..location.url'
		if debug then print("Webcam MotionDetect - Collecting data from: "..location.url) end
		read = os.execute('curl -s -o '..tempfilename..' "'..location.url..'"')
		file = io.open(tempfilename, "r")
		s= file:read("*a")
		s = (string.gsub(s, "%c+", ""))
		file:close()
	 
		-- MotionDetect Status
		motionStatus = string.match(s, [[<isEnable>(%d+)]])
		if debug then print("MotionDetectStatus:\t"..motionStatus.." from webcam: "..webcam) end
		if debug then print("Domoticz Device:\t"..location.cam) end
	end
	
return commandArray
This parts works and I get the correct results.

Code: Select all

2017-09-07 09:08:00.610 dzVents: Webcam MotionDetect - Collecting data from: http://192.168.0.32:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr=xxx&pwd=xxx
2017-09-07 09:08:00.825 dzVents: MotionDetectStatus:	1 from webcam: Buiten
2017-09-07 09:08:00.826 dzVents: Domoticz Device:	MotionDetect buiten
2017-09-07 09:08:00.826 dzVents: Webcam MotionDetect - Collecting data from: http://192.168.0.30:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr=xxx&pwd=xxx
2017-09-07 09:08:00.981 dzVents: MotionDetectStatus:	0 from webcam: Gang
2017-09-07 09:08:00.982 dzVents: Domoticz Device:	MotionDetect gang
2017-09-07 09:08:00.982 dzVents: Webcam MotionDetect - Collecting data from: http://192.168.0.31:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr=xxx&pwd=xxx
2017-09-07 09:08:01.124 dzVents: MotionDetectStatus:	0 from webcam: Huiskamer
2017-09-07 09:08:01.124 dzVents: Domoticz Device:	MotionDetect woonkamer
The next part is updating the status of the dummy switch. I'm working on that, but I get errors.

Code: Select all

	if motionStatus='0' and otherdevices[..location.cam] == 'On' then
            commandArray[..location.cam] = 'Off'
            table.insert(commandArray)
        end
		
	if motionStatus='1' and otherdevices[..location.cam] == 'Off' then
            commandArray[..location.cam] = 'On'
            table.insert(commandArray)
        end
The error is:

Code: Select all

2017-09-07 09:15:01.620 Error: EventSystem: in Test: [string "-- ..."]:44: 'then' expected near '='
Line 44 is the part of:

Code: Select all

if motionStatus='0' and otherdevices[..location.cam] == 'On' then
I think it has something to do with the "..location.cam", but I'm not sure if I using the correct way to update my device.

Anybody a hint? I'm looking in the Wiki and reading older posts, but I can't get it to work.
Problably I'm doing something wrong, but as I said I'm not a (lua) programmer.

This is my first attempt, any help is appreciated!

maybe (just making educated guess...)

Code: Select all

motionStatus='0'
should be :

Code: Select all

motionStatus=='0'
== is used for evaluating purpose like status in "if aa==1 then"
= is used to set value into something like a=1

Succes! After a lot of puzzeling and testing, I've found a working solution. For me it looks nice.... :lol:
I put the code here, so maybe someone can benefit from it.

Code: Select all

--
-- Domoticz passes MotionDetect status from webcams to Dummy Switches
--

-- Variables (Customize) ----------------------------------------------------------------
local gebruiker			= "xxx"			-- uservar for username
local wachtwoord		= "xxx"			-- uservar for password
local tempfilename 		= '/tmp/log/motion.tmp'	-- can be anywhere writeable
local debug			= false			-- false, true for domoticz log
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Function to check if a file exists
function file_exists(path)	
    local file = io.open(path, "rb")
    if file then file:close() end
    return file ~= nil
end

commandArray = {}

	-- Array of webcams to be checked
		-- idx	: IDX of device in Domoticz
		-- cam	: Name of Dummy Switch in Domoticz
		-- url	: URL used to check the webcam

	webcams = {
		Gang = {idx='417' ; cam="MotionDetect Gang" ; url='http://192.168.0.30:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr='..gebruiker..'&pwd='..wachtwoord..''};
		Huiskamer = {idx='418' ; cam='MotionDetect Woonkamer' ; url='http://192.168.0.31:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr='..gebruiker..'&pwd='..wachtwoord..''};
		Buiten = {idx='416' ; cam='MotionDetect Buiten' ; url='http://192.168.0.32:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr='..gebruiker..'&pwd='..wachtwoord..''};
	}
	
	-- Webcam status
	for webcam,location in pairs(webcams) do
		url='..location.url'
		if debug then print("Webcam MotionDetect - Collecting data from: "..location.url) end
		read = os.execute('curl -s -o '..tempfilename..' "'..location.url..'"')
		file = io.open(tempfilename, "r")
		s= file:read("*a")
		s = (string.gsub(s, "%c+", ""))
		file:close()
	 
		-- MotionDetect Status
		motionStatus = string.match(s, [[<isEnable>(%d+)]])
		if debug then print("MotionDetectStatus:\t"..motionStatus.." from webcam: "..webcam) end
		if debug then print("Domoticz Device:\t"..location.cam.." IDX: "..location.idx) end

        -- Turn Dummy switch on/off
		if motionStatus == '1' and otherdevices[''..location.cam..''] == 'Off' then 
			commandArray[''..location.cam..''] = 'On' 
			print("Device:\t"..location.cam.." turned: On")
		elseif motionStatus == '0' and otherdevices[''..location.cam..''] == 'On' then 
			commandArray[''..location.cam..''] = 'Off' 
			print("Device:\t"..location.cam.." turned: Off")
		end 
	end
	
return commandArray
