Hello All,

I am experimenting with HTTPResponse and json and I have a question about accessing the data in a json table.

This is the call I do:

Code: Select all

			url = 'http://192.168.1.231:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=230E',
				method = 'GET',
				callback = 'trigger', -- see httpResponses above.

then I access the json with:

Code: Select all

	if (item.isHTTPResponse) then

			if (item.statusCode == 200) then
				if (item.isJSON) then

					local someValue = item.json.Sunrise

This gives me the Sunrise time perfectly and I can put in a dummy text device.

Now the question:

If the json looks like:

Code: Select all

"Sunrise" : "08:15",
   "Sunset" : "17:34",
   "result" : [
      {
         "AddjMulti" : 1.0,
         "AddjMulti2" : 1.0,
         "AddjValue" : 0.0,
         "AddjValue2" : 0.0,
         "BatteryLevel" : 100,
         "CustomImage" : 0,
         "Data" : "17.5 C, 55 %",

How do I get the variable "Data" in the dummy text device?

I have tried all kinds of combinations:

Code: Select all

local someValue = item.json.result.Data  - Doesn't work returns "nil"
local someValue = item.json.result:Data  - Doesn't work returns "nil"
local someValue = item.json.["result.Data"]  - Doesn't work returns "nil"

I hope someone can help me

Code: Select all

local someValue = item.json.result[0]['Data'];

Result is an array containing an object. As it's the only object in the array, it sits at the first index, and a JavaScript array's first index position is 0.

Thank you for your quick response, I've tried this but it gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

 2018-02-04 12:55:01.218 dzVents: Error (2.4.1): An error occured when calling event handler http test
2018-02-04 12:55:01.218 dzVents: Error (2.4.1): ...domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/http test.lua:25: attempt to index field 'result' (a nil value)

Sorry, my fault. LUA not JavaScript. In LUA array first index is 1 not 0. Change result[0] to result [1]

perfect, it works.
Thanks

My question is though: why have this script in the first place? I'd say that dzVents already gives you all this data. No need to get it from Domoticz from the outside-in. Or is there something missing in dzVents?

Hello Danny,

It was just a test to see how it works, the next step for me is to do a json call to Hue to directly to check the status of the lights. (see my other message). The domoticz status is not updated when the light is offline.

thanks

Well, now that you mention it:
Maybe I am overlooking something, but is it possible to query the domoticz settings (in particular longitude and latitude)?

Of course but you have to make sure that 127.0.0.1 (or whatever url you use) is listed to access the API without a password (settings of Domoticz).
