Hello
I use pilot Home automation app to recieve Messages from domoticz. this goes through http messages where you fill in your key in field 1 and then with the following api url. I've added extra spaces because the complete url was not shown correctly

http://api.pilot.patrickferreira.com/#FIELD1 / #SUBJECT/#MESSAGE

(In Field1 is my app code and in field2 of my girlfriend. see picture below

the Problem is that the api url refers only to field1 so I only get the message. In DZvents I use this line (which works but only to my iPhone):

Code: Select all

domoticz.notify('message header', 'actual message','Prowl/NMS: Very Low, Pushover: N/A')

So I want to incorporate http://api.pilot.patrickferreira.com/#F ... T/#MESSAGE in my dzvents so I can send messages either to my iPhone (use field1 in the url) or to my girlfriends (use field2 in the url). Or if someone has another solution.

I already solved it. Here is my solution, maybe I can help someone else with it.

Code: Select all

domoticz.openURL('http://api.pilot.patrickferreira.com/'app code' without the quotes/'header' again without the quotes/'subject')

I have made a global helper (in global_data) where you can send Pilot messages to some or all known recipients. At the top I defined some users with their keys. And you can send messages like this:

Code: Select all

domoticz.helpers.notifyPilot(domoticz, 'Some subject', 'Some message', 'John')
domoticz.helpers.notifyPilot(domoticz, 'Some subject', 'Some message', 'all') -- send to all
domoticz.helpers.notifyPilot(domoticz, 'Some subject', 'Some message', {'John', 'Katy'})

I use this global function in all my scripts. Works like a charm and even encodes nasty characters in messages. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

local pilotUsers = {
    ['John'] = 'xxxx', -- use pilot key
    ['Mary'] = 'yyy',
    ['Katy'] = 'zzz'
}

return {
	helpers = {
	    notifyPilot = function(domoticz, subject, message, user)
	    
		if (subject == nil or subject == '') then
			subject = '–'
		end
		
		if (message == nil or message == '') then
			message = '–'
		end
	        
		--http://api.pilot.patrickferreira.com/KEY/SUBJECT/MESSAGE
		-- generic function for sending messages
		local _notifyUser = function(key, name)
			domoticz.log('Notify Pilot user: ' .. tostring(name) .. ';' .. tostring(subject) .. ';' .. tostring(message), domoticz.LOG_INFO)
			local msg = tostring(key) .. '/' .. domoticz.utils.urlEncode(subject .. '/' .. message, '%20')
			local url = 'http://api.pilot.patrickferreira.com/' .. msg
			domoticz.openURL(url)
		end
            
		if (user == 'All') then
			for name, key in pairs(pilotUsers) do
				_notifyUser(key, name)
			end
		elseif (type(user) == 'table') then
			for _, name in pairs(user) do
				_notifyUser(pilotUsers[name], name)
			end
		else
			_notifyUser(pilotUsers[user], user)
		end
	end
}
