Change timer of dzVents script with Telegram

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to change/feed the timer (times/dates) of a dzVents script with Telegram?
I have a dzVents script which activates a Switch (which triggers node-red to send a google cast audio stream to a certain google home device)
We use it as a wake-up alarm
The timer in the dzVents script is currently:
Code: Select all
on =
{
timer =
{
'at 06:45 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri',
},
},
The goal is to send a text string from Telegram to Domoticz which changes the Timer of the dzVents script:
Examples:
- 'at 06:45 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri',
- 'at 06:45 on tue,wed,fri', 'at 08:00 on tue,thu',

I cannot not help with this Dzvents but why not use the timer function on the switch itself to trigger node red?

And with the API it should be possible to change a timer.
But onfortunately I cannot find the timer modify api, only some commands for scenes...

Edit: there is this command that could work. Can you trigger that with a telegram message?
Update parameters for a specific schedule(timer) for Devices
Code: Select all
/json.htm?type=command¶m=updatetimer&idx=timerID&active=true&timertype=3&hour=0&min=20&randomness=true&command=0&days=12345
But @waaren will come with the right solution....

Yes; if you know a method to get the payload of telegram into a device, variable or can send an http to domoticz.

Busy with it, using "node-red-contrib-telegrambot". I already get a raw message in Node-Red like this:
Code: Select all
{"payload":{"chatId":11875XXXXX,"messageId":9,"type":"message","content":"'at 6:45 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri',","date":1615849045},"originalMessage":{"message_id":9,"from":{"id":11875XXXXX,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Gerben","last_name":"Schmidt","username":"GXXXXX","language_code":"nl"},"chat":{"id":11875XXXXX,"first_name":"Gerben","last_name":"Schmidt","username":"GXXXXX","type":"private"},"date":1615849045,"text":"'at 6:45 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri',"},"_msgid":"27272aea.2574a6"}

Nice!
Maybe @Firewizard can help to send the relevant payload to domoticz with MQTT
with something like
Code: Select all
{"command":"customevent", "event":"changeTimer","data":"your payload"} # preferred methof
{"command": "setuservariable", "idx": 1, "value": "your payload" } # indirect via uservariable
