@ap2017
URL: http://iobrokerip:8087/set/javascript.0.variables.PI-detection?value=true

[UncleSam]

@ap2017 So, did you copy the state ID the way I asked you to?

Because it seems to me that the name should be javascript.0.variables.PI-detection

[ap2017]

@UncleSam Thank you, with subfolder "variables" added I am getting browser response
{"id":"javascript.0.variables.PI-detection","value":true,"val":true}

Now I need to figure out how MotionEye notification work, since I PI-detection does not change in response to motion

[ap2017]

@UncleSam Everything works now. I did not realized that I have to reset the web hook variable after motion is detected.

Hey there,

i got the same Error but little different problem. I have copyed the Object-Path with the little button.

so i build this URL:
http://SERVER:8087/set/0_userdata.0.VirtualDevices.hc3lite.FlurPIR-1?value=false&prettyPrint

The Url works fine in any browser but when i try to use it in my code i get:

"error: no value found for "0_userdata.0.VirtualDevices.hc3lite.FlurPIR-1". Use /set/id?value=1 or /set/id?value=1&wait=1000"

I will use it in a Lua Script that runs on the "Fibaro Home center lite". When i rebuild the URL to "toggle" it works fine.. i have no clue whats the issue .. because it makes no sense for me.

Lua Code:

local value = fibaro.getValue(52, "value")
local url

-- Deside if value should be true or false
if (fibaro.getValue(52, "value") == true) then
url = 'http://SERVER:8087/set/0_userdata.0.VirtualDevices.hc3lite.FlurPIR-1?value=true&prettyPrint'
elseif (fibaro.getValue(52, "value") == false) then
url = 'SERVER/set/0_userdata.0.VirtualDevices.hc3lite.FlurPIR-1?value=false&prettyPrint'
else 
print ("No Match")
end

print(url)

local selfhttp = net.HTTPClient()

local headers = {
        ["Accept"] = "application/json",
        ["Content-Type"] = 'application/json',
        ["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache"
    }

selfhttp:request(url, {
  options={
    method = 'GET',
    headers = headers,
    timeout = 5000
  },
 success = function(response) 
            print(response.status)
            print(response.data)
    end,
    error = function(message)
            print("error:", message)
    end
})
 

anyone knows something? i think i had the same issue by try to use something like this in Android App - Tasker, but then give out and used toggle.

@tehmilcho sagte in Simple API Use SOLVED:

http://SERVER:8087/set/0_userdata.0.VirtualDevices.hc3lite.FlurPIR-1?value=true&prettyPrint

Try to encode the URL

let encodedUrl = encodeURIComponent(url);

[tehMilcho]

@mcu said in Simple API Use SOLVED:

let encodedUrl = encodeURIComponent(url);

the Lua Script in Fibaro seems not happy about it:

[24.11.2023] [22:43:48] [ERROR] [SCENE29]: (load):15: syntax error near 'encodedUrl

[MCU]

@tehmilcho In LUA seems to be

local encodedUrl = url.escape(url)

[tehMilcho]

@mcu said in Simple API Use SOLVED:

local encodedUrl = url.escape(url)

mhh seems like fibaro specail lua?

[24.11.2023] [22:54:25] [ERROR] [SCENE29]: (load):23: attempt to call a nil value (field 'escape')

[MCU]

@tehmilcho Do you use it so?

url = url.escape(url)

selfhttp:request(url, {
  options={
    method = 'GET',
    headers = headers,
    timeout = 5000
  },
  success = function(response) 
    print(response.status)
    print(response.data)
  end,
  error = function(message)
    print("error:", message)
  end
})

[tehMilcho]

@mcu yep this leads to "[24.11.2023] [22:54:25] [ERROR] [SCENE29]: (load):23: attempt to call a nil value (field 'escape')"

[MCU]

@tehmilcho sagte in Simple API Use SOLVED:

:23: attempt to call a nil value (field 'escape')

Try this

url = url:gsub("([^A-Za-z0-9_])", function(c) return string.format("%%%02X", string.byte(c)) end)

[tehMilcho]

@mcu said in Simple API Use SOLVED:

url = url:gsub("([^A-Za-z0-9_])", function(c) return string.format("%%%02X", string.byte(c)) end)

then it seems to get stuck, no error but will not finsh and also the state in iobroker is not changed, when you Output the new string you will get:

http%3A%2F%2F192%2E168%2E178%2E37%3A8087%2Fset%2F0_userdata%2E0%2EVirtualDevices%2Ehc3lite%2EFlurPIR%2D1%3Fvalue%3Dtrue%26prettyPrint

[tehMilcho]

@MCU but this brings me on track, i now swap the "?" with "%3F" now it works .. damn @MCU you are f****** smart :) Thanks a lot. spend already hours on this :)
