    I would like to get motion notification from MotionEye via Simple Api using method GET
    http: // IP_ioBroker: 8087/ set / javascript.0.Pi-detection? Value = true
    I added Pi-detection user.data.0 Boolean variable. Is there special setting needed for Simple APi adapter?

    @ap2017 What are you trying to do and what is your issue?

    The URL you are providing contains a lot of spaces (which is wrong).

    Also you say user.data.0 (which doesn't exist) and then try to use javascript.0. IDs must match exactly the IDs in ioBroker. Simply use the "copy" button next to the state ID to get the full ID in the correct format.

      @UncleSam Thank you for quick response and good comments. My actual URL does not have extra spaces:
      http://iobrokerIP:8087/set/javascript.0.Pi-detection?Value=true

      I created PI-detection variable in javascript.0 folder and monitoring value of this variable in response to motion detection from MotionEye, but so far I am getting nothing. My MotionEye Web Hook URL is http://iobrokerIP:8087/set/javascript.0.Pi-detection?Value=true with HTTP method set as GET

          @ap2017 Thanks for the clarifications.

          What happens if you open the URL in your browser? Do you get a JSON response similar to the following or an error message?

          {"id":"javascript.0.Pi-detection","value":true}
          

          How do you know that you are "getting nothing"?

              @ap2017 Can you please share a screenshot of your object tree in ioBroker where we can see the mentioned state (and its parents)?

                @UncleSam Here the screenshot. Do I need to have subfolder variables in my URL?

                    @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

                      @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

                        @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.
