Hi all,

I'm using several shelly trv thermostats and as I want to use them without any cloud connections I have set up some script to retract temperature and and send a setpoint. For all additional information I would like to gather this in a single textbox and as something changes this will update.
So far I managed to create a script that gets me the batt status from a single shelly in to a textbox and from this point I'm stuck....

I any of you can help me out that would be great.

Script I use,

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		timer = {
			'every hour' 
		},
		httpResponses = {
			'trigger' -- must match with the callback passed to the openURL command
		}
	},
	logging = {
		level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
		marker = 'template',
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, item)

		if (item.isTimer) then
			domoticz.openURL({
				url = 'http://192.168.1.83/status',
				method = 'GET',
				callback = 'trigger', -- see httpResponses above.
			})
		end

		if (item.isHTTPResponse) then

			if (item.ok) then
				if (item.isJSON) then

					local BattValue = item.json.bat.value
					--local mytext = 'Shelly slaapkamer battery level''..BattValue..'

					domoticz.devices(258).updateText('Shelly slaapkamer battery level= '..BattValue..'%')
				end
			else
				domoticz.log('There was a problem handling the request', domoticz.LOG_ERROR)
				domoticz.log(item, domoticz.LOG_ERROR)
			end

		end

	end
}

That as something changes is normally triggered by a device change. So you have to add those to the on={ } section.

For the rest the possibilities are endless :-)
For a new line add \r\n

Thanks,

Using the device as a trigger won't work I think as they don't send any mqtt message to domoticz topic. That's why I have a timer, this can be changed to any number depending on how many updates I want. My issue is that I don't know how to get data from several IP's. And the next issue is how to combine them in to one single textbox.

Call several url's in the isTimer section and use different triggers.
Before the first openURL you should clear the text by

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices(258).updateText('')
In the response section you can concatenate the different texts by switching in different triggers like:

Code: Select all

if item.trigger == <trigger1> then
	txt = domoticz.devices(258).text
	domoticz.devices(258).updateText(txt..'\nShelly slaapkamer battery level= '..BattValue..'%')
elseif item.trigger == <trigger2> then
etc....

I have something going now, it works.
Only issue is now that the textbox is getting bigger after each update..
txt.jpg
txt.jpg (392.97 KiB) Viewed 1185 times
Is it possible to delete the textbox content before updating?

Did you use

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices(258).updateText('')
before the first openURL in the isTimer section?
Incase that does not work with a space

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices(258).updateText(' ')

Sheers, that's a lot better now! :D

I have a total of 5 devices to display here, but now randomly it displays five, three and sometimes four items and then again all five... is there anything i can change so it's steady constnt all items?

If every openURL is not responding or missed, you could add afterSec(x) after every openURL and use different values for x, like 1,2,3,4 etc...

Code: Select all

			domoticz.openURL({
				url = 'http://192.168.1.83/status', --slaapkamer
				method = 'GET',
				callback = 'trigger1', -- see httpResponses above.
			}).afterSec(1)
				domoticz.openURL({
				url = 'http://192.168.1.31/status', --slaapkamer
				method = 'GET',
				callback = 'trigger1', -- see httpResponses above.
			}).afterSec(2)

If that is not working. Create a data section with data items for every response. Save the response in the data section.
At the end go over all the data's and update the text device with the result of all the data.

I tried the afterSec option, it ended up with only a single output or nothing at all.

Some moment it still spits out only four lines, but 3 out of 4 time it shows all lines. At this level I can live with it. But if there are ways for improvement I'm open for it.

Then change the logging to debug at look into domoticz log what is coming in from the 5 openURL calls.
Because it might be possible that not all devices responds with an answer.
Replace

Code: Select all

level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
with

Code: Select all

level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,

		end
    end

}
This way you save every response in a data item and use those to fill the text device.
B.t.w If you send URL request seconds apart, then you cannot have almost all responses in the same second.
And you did not use LOG_DEBUG.

Side question, this 'data' is how you store results from the script and how long is this stored for?

Anyway big thanks for the help in this topic, this really is a full functioning local solution to my shelly trv devices. Now I can replace the rest of my thermostats. Cheers.
