Domoticz

Hi,

I'm new here and new to domoticz. I'm trying to switch a dummy switch with but results in

{
"message" : "Error sending switch command, check device/hardware !",
"status" : "ERROR",
"title" : "SwitchLight"
}

obviously I'm missing something (or more).

The IDX is correct and the switch is not protected.
I've red something about the localnetwork but not sure what IP to put there.
tested it with 127.0.0.1 as localnework and in the 'on action' of the virtual switch.

What am I missing?

Are you sure about IDX 1?
You can check the appropriate IDX in the devices tab of open this url to show them all via JSON:
http://<IP>:8080/json.htm?type=devices

-or- check a specific device via json with url :
http://<IP>:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=<IDX>

( replace <IP> and <IDX> with appropriate values)

EDIT: Fixed typo

Yes positive about IDX1.

First device I've added after a fresh reinstall.

http://<IP>:8080/json.htm?type=devices
confirmes IDX1


http://<IP>:8080/json.htm?type=devices,&rid=<IDX>
gives status ERR

remove the comma after devices.

http://<IP>:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=<IDX>

What details are shown in the devices tab for this IDX 1 dummy switch?

... and ofcourse what @waaren said!

1 Dummy (hardware) C 5 TelefoonWerner Lighting 1 X10 Off

Think I know the issue: The last bit needs to be with a capital O in On: &switchcmd=On

so:
http://<IP ADRESS>:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1&switchcmd=On

GENIUS!!
