Hue formula with openURL [Solved]

[johnnyboy1984]

Hi there,
I am trying to switch a formula (tv mimicking) on/off with a dummy switch.
I want when the dummy switch is switched on/off to start or stop the hue tv mimicking formula. Unfortunatly it doesn't work. I retrieved the api and code with the HUE clip api debugger and that works, but i don't know how to convert the code into a script, please help:

Code: Select all

 return {
        on = {
          devices = {
             'test1'
          }
        },
        execute = function(domoticz, switch)
          if (switch.state == 'On') then
             domoticz.log('TV Mimick on')
                        domoticz.openURL({
                        url = 'http://<my hue ipadress>/api/<my api code>/sensors/55/state',
                        method = 'PUT',
                        put = { "status": 1 }
                    })
          else
             domoticz.log('TV Mimick off!')
                        domoticz.openURL({
                        url = 'http://<my hue ipadress>/api/<my api code>/sensors/55/state',
                        method = 'PUT',
                        put = { "status": 0 }
                    })
          end
        end
}

I retrieved the api and code with the HUE clip api debugger and that works, but i don't know how to convert the code into a script, please help:

From the wiki:

postData: Optional. When doing a POST, PUT ^3.0.2 or DELETE ^3.0.2 this data will be the payload of the request (body).

so try with:

Code: Select all

 return {
        on = {
          devices = {
             'test1'
          }
        },
        execute = function(domoticz, switch)
          if (switch.state == 'On') then
             domoticz.log('TV Mimick on')
                        domoticz.openURL({
                        url = 'http://<my hue ipadress>/api/<my api code>/sensors/55/state',
                        method = 'PUT',
                        postData = { "status" = 1 }
                    })
          else
             domoticz.log('TV Mimick off!')
                        domoticz.openURL({
                        url = 'http://<my hue ipadress>/api/<my api code>/sensors/55/state',
                        method = 'PUT',
                        postData = { "status" = 0 }
                    })
          end
        end
}

If it still fails, please share the relevant loglines and the version you are on.

i have dzVents Version: 3.0.1

Still no succes
i have dzVents Version: 3.0.1

The methods PUT and DELETE are not available in dzVents version 3.0.1
These methods were introduced in Version 3.0.2

Also change "status" : 1 to "status" = 1

[johnnyboy1984]

ok, and dzVents 3.0.2 is in Domoticz 2020.2 right?
But that vesrsion is not available for Synology, is there another way with Lua maybe to achivef my goals?

Not natively with dzVents or Lua but os.execute(CurlCommand) in a dzVents script could be a work around.

ok, so i found this other https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 36&t=31481, and used a part of the script, but still an error in my log:

Code: Select all

return {
        on = {
          devices = {
             'test1'
          }
        },
        execute = function(domoticz, switch)
          if (switch.state == 'On') then
             domoticz.log('TV Mimick on')
             os.execute('curl --header "Content-Type: application/json"   --request PUT  --data '{"status":1}'   http://<my hue ipadress>/api/<my api code>/sensors/55/state')         
          else
             domoticz.log('TV Mimick off!')
             os.execute('curl --header "Content-Type: application/json"   --request PUT  --data '{"status":0}'   http://<my hue ipadress>/api/<my api code>/sensors/55/state')         
           
          end
        end
}

some quote problems..
Can you try:

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'test1',
        }
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'Curl to hue' ,
    },

    execute = function(dz, switch)
        dz.log('TV Mimick ' .. switch.state, dz.LOG_DEBUG)

        local hueCommand = ( switch.state == 'On' and 1 ) or 0
        local curlCommand = 'curl --header "Content-Type: application/json"   --request PUT  --data \'{"status": '  .. hueCommand .. ' }\'   http://<Hue IP>/api/<API CODE>/sensors/55/state'

        os.execute(curlCommand)
        dz.log('curl Commnand: ' .. curlCommand, dz.LOG_DEBUG)

    end
}

If it does not work yet just copy the command you see in the log and try it from the CLI.
curl will show you what's wrong.

This works!!! Thanks a lot.
I removed the extra loggin now and can use it.

Code: Select all

return 
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'test1',
        }
    },

    

    execute = function(dz, switch)
        local hueCommand = ( switch.state == 'On' and 1 ) or 0
        local curlCommand = 'curl --header "Content-Type: application/json"   --request PUT  --data \'{"status": '  .. hueCommand .. ' }\'   http://<my hue ipadress>/api/<my api code>/sensors/55/state'

        os.execute(curlCommand)
        
    end
}
