You have to write dzVents script actioned by your virtual switch.
So there you write all commands

And in the Dzvents documentation there is section about how to set the commands

In my case i have a virtual switch type of Selector for my TV.
But my IR controller needs internet so i need curl installed .
Code: Select all
return {
on = {
devices = {87}, -- IDx of your virtual switch
httpResponses = {
'TVcontrol_trigger' -- must match with Callback
}
},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
marker = 'TV control',
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
local devID = ''
local APIkey = ''
--local position = device.state
local positionName = device.levelName
local switch = domoticz.devices(87)
local switchState = switch.level
-- check current state
if switchState == 0 then -- on/off
devID = '1
--domoticz.log('Zero', LOG_ERROR)
elseif switchState == 10 then -- chanel +
devID = '2'
--domoticz.log('10', LOG_ERROR)
elseif switchState == 20 then -- Vol +
devID = '3'
domoticz.log('20 ' .. positionName, LOG_ERROR)
elseif switchState == 30 then -- Vol ++
devID = '4'
--domoticz.log('30 ++', LOG_ERROR)
elseif switchState == 40 then -- Vol -
devID = '5'
--domoticz.log('40 -', LOG_ERROR)
elseif switchState == 50 then -- Vol -- Vl▼
devID = '6'
domoticz.log('50 --' .. positionName, LOG_ERROR)
elseif switchState == 60 then -- Chanel -
devID = '7'
--domoticz.log('60 -', LOG_ERROR)
elseif switchState == 70 then
devID = '8'
--domoticz.log('70', LOG_ERROR)
end
local Command = 'curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer '.. APIkey ..'\" -s -X POST \"https://api.iot.yandex.net/v1.0/scenarios/'.. devID ..'/actions\"'
domoticz.executeShellCommand(Command)
--domoticz.log(switchName, LOG_ERROR)
end
}
In your case if you are in local networ you can use
Code: Select all
domoticz.openURL({
url = '<YOUR URL>',
method = 'POST',
callback = 'TVcontrol_trigger', -- see httpResponses above.
}).afterSec(0)

Try this
Code: Select all
local devId = 87 -- change to your switch IDx
return {
on = {
devices = {devId}, -- IDx of your virtual switch
httpResponses = {
'MediaPlayer' -- must match with Callback
}
},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
marker = 'TV control',
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
local volUp = 'http://192.168.1.199/control?cmd=IRSEND,NEC,FF9867,32'
local switch = domoticz.devices(devId)
domoticz.openURL({
url = volUp,
method = 'POST',
callback = 'MediaPlayer', -- see httpResponses above.
}).afterSec(0)
domoticz.log('Volume Up of ' .. switch.name, LOG_INFO)
end
}

Sorry, i gave you example for the virtual switch, i dont know such device as virtual device (media player). May be you are using some plugin...
Anyway
one switch = one button
one selector switch = several buttons

Thats my virtual Selector Switch. I can put thare up to 10 buttons = up to 10 commands.
Oh, and does your URL "
http://192.168.1.199/control?cmd=IRSEND,NEC,FF9867,32" work from browser?

Hi all,
I would like to use the Multimedia switch also for controlling a Multimedia device.
If you create a switch, either by selecting as hardware "Dummy (Does nothing, use for virtual switches only) and
creating a virtual switch or using the http command, you will get a virtual switch.
If you change the switch to a "Media Player" switch you will get a "Remote" device at the right of the selected
"Switch icon".
This is also the case if you select multimedia hardware, such as a Panasonic TV, Kodi media player or Logitech media Server (LMS), etc
In this case you will get a pop-up remote, that can be operated.
However, with a virtual Media Player switch you get only a "dead picture" of the Remote and no pop-up window.
It is not clickable.
Did someone succeed to get it functioning?
Regards
