Hi again

 

searched around in all my documents and on forum how-to change a variable through a http request, im sure it was possible in version 4.x. Right?

Thought I head a ready-made solution but can't find it... or dreamed it...

As far as I know, and /docs confirms, you have to POST a payload to create one and PUT to change one. I've got an example from this forum somwhere: "to create a new global variable in our system you would send POST on IP/api/globalVariables with payload looking like this: '{"name":"example","value":"2"}'.

If you succesfully trigger a scene by changing a globalvar by rest-api, let me know. I tried it a lot of times, but without success.

With curl, you can do this:

 

in 4.X

curl -X PUT -d "{\"name\":\"${variable}\",\"value\":\"${value}\"}" "http://${userid}:${pass}@${HCIP}/api/globalVariables/${variable}"

 

in 3.X

curl -X PUT -d "{\"name\":\"${variable}\",\"value\":\"${value}\"}" "http://${userid}:${pass}@${HCIP}/api/globalVariables"
