I'd like to be able to read the settings using lua. Especially the location settings are of interest to me.
I know I could use json, but since I protected my Domotic, I have to use a userid/password in the script which I don't like for some reason.

Nice to have:
location = settings['location'] (as a line in a lua script)

from https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Lua_-_json.lua (with change to use wget instead of curl):
json = (loadfile "/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/JSON.lua")() -- For Linux
--json = (loadfile "D:\\Domoticz\\scripts\\lua\\json.lua")() -- For Windows

read = os.execute('wget '..tempfilename..' http://localhost:<port>/json.htm?type=settings')
file = io.open(tempfilename, "r")
settings = file:read('*all')
file.close()
location = json:decode(settings)
lat = jsonLocation.current_observation.display_location.latitude
lon = jsonLocation.current_observation.display_location.longitude

Not sure if you do not want password less access from local system either. That would be required for this dzVents / Lua script.
SETUP -> SETTINGS -> LOCAL NETWORKS (NO USERNAME/PASSWORD): 127.0.0.*

I use the approach as in this script in various other dzVents scripts and store the Latitude / Longitude in (Global) persistent data variables so that I only have to call the openURL once.

Code: Select all

--[[ getLocation.lua
]]

return {
    on = {      devices         =   { "locationTrigger" },            -- Just a trigger switch to kick off script
                httpResponses   =   { "LocationResponse" }            
    },
                                
    execute = function(dz, trigger)

        if trigger.isTimer or trigger.isDevice then                        
                dz.openURL({
                        url = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] ..  "/json.htm?type=settings",
                        method = "GET",
                        callback = "LocationResponse" })
        else
            print("Latitude:  " ..trigger.json.Location.Latitude)
            print("Longitude: " ..trigger.json.Location.Longitude)
        end
    
    end

}
