Possible to get python value into a sensor

I have a sp3s and i can get it on and off with python, using a virtual switch with script://
Now the python script also can give the energy reading. My question is, how do i get script:// into a sensor that displays the value of the python script.
The python script gives back a value, but i do not know how to put this into a virtual text or energy meter.
I did search for examples in the wiki but i do not understand how to get the value output that i see on the pi command line into a sensor, please help.
Any ideas, tips or examples ?
Thank you in advance.

Search for post or wiki like this:
Code: Select all
urllib.urlopen("http://192.168.2.1:8080/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx=158&switchcmd=Off")
You'll have to change param, idx and find something for the switchcmd.
Hope this helps you find your way.

This snippet should help:
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/python
###
import requests
###
#rest of code
###
# Parse URL
url = 'http://<DOMOTICZ_IP>:<PORT>/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx=<YOURTEXTDEVICEIDX>&nvalue=0&svalue='+str(<YOURVALUE>)'
# Send data to Domoticz device
r = requests.get(url)
Obviously change to add your numbers, etc.

Thanks for your answers, but i do this on the cli:
/home/domo/python-broadlink/broadlink_cli --type 0x947a --host 1xx.x.x.106 --mac 34xxxx9xxx5x --energy
And i get this value back in the cli: 12.56
So how do i get this value in to a virtual sensor. I just do not know.
I guess i can not do <YOURVALUE> as script:///home/domo/python-broadlink/broadlink_cli --type 0x947a --host 1xx.x.x.106 --mac 34xxxx9xxx5x --energy
or maybe something like,
myvar= "//home/domo/python-broadlink/broadlink_cli --type 0x947a --host 1xx.x.x.106 --mac 34xxxx9xxx5x --energy" :real;
Maybe this is stupid, but i think there should be a way? But what is it ? Is it possible?
I am just trying different things, but keep getting SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
I see it is not a string, but a floating point. So now i am just searching the internet, how to get svalue+str to ?? fvalue+float ?? or something like that. I am just guessing how this would work. Isn't it obvious ? HA
