I am trying to start a boiler and a heater from an URL that has a lot of prices and timestamps. I am using Home Center 2. I have no idea where to start from, I understand I need VD (Virtual Devices) and Scenes, but anything I have tried hasn't worked sadly. How can I start a boiler and a heater during the lowest prices with JSON timestamp values from an URL? If required, I can post the URL here. Can anyone help me?

My goal is to send device changes from +- 20 fibaro devices to another api system. My devices are motion sensors, door sensors, smoke sensors and wallplugs. I started to make a lua script: { operator = "any", conditions = { { type = "device", id = 21, property = "value", operator = "anyValue", isTrigger = true }, { type = "device", id = 24, property = "value", operator = "anyValue", isTrigger = true } } } How to make this script more generic, for example a script that triggers on every change in a range of devices? is that possible. For example for device 1, 2, 7 and 10 a http request must be send when data changed for motion, light or temperature? In the action i started a Quickapp, because i can't find a way to send direct http commands here: fibaro.call(25, "turnOn") How to get the ID and the VALUE this scripts is triggered from? After that i make a Quickapp: function QuickApp:turnOn() self:debug("binary switch turned on") self:updateProperty("value", true) self:fcCommands("true") end function QuickApp:turnOff() self:debug("binary switch turned off") self:updateProperty("value", false) self:fcCommands("false") end function QuickApp:fcCommands(cmd) local address = "http://USER:[email protected]/scada-remote/request.cgi?m=json&r=grp&fn=write&alias=KNXGROUP&value=" ..cmd self.http:request(address, { options={ headers = { Accept = "application/json" }, checkCertificate = true, method = 'GET' }, success = function(response) self:debug("response status:", response.status) self:debug("headers:", response.headers["Content-Type"]) local data = json.decode(response.data) end, error = function(error) self:debug('error: ' .. json.encode(error)) end }) end function QuickApp:onInit() self:debug("onInit") self.http = net.HTTPClient({timeout=3000}) end But now i get a http 401, how to solve this? Anyone a better or more generic way to send data to another system with a api request?

Hi I am just begin learning with all of that fibaro and lua I have Audiocast device which connected to the ieast quick app on HC3L i just want to make TTS from the speaker I connect audiocast to F&D E200 plus speaker, I have been searching a lot I didn't have any results

Hi I was wondering if anybody was using Bluetooth beacons in their home automation setups? Some early reading suggest that they are quite flexible and not too expensive (£30) for a reasonable long range water proof one. I'm looking to see if I can develop a solution to replace geo fencing for opening gates or setting home modes. This is what I'm thinking .... Beacon located by gate or front of house User approached house and phone picks up beacon (unique) Beacon app on phone fires off url that's picked up by hc2 ( perhaps through IFTTT) HC2 executes action Mad, Crazy, or just might work ?

Got my camera working (Foscam C1), but the small jpg preview image in the web interface doesn't work. It does work in the app though. If I examine the URL HC2 is using to display the image it seems to add "?ts=xxx" at the end. That doesn't work well with the camera which doesn't expect two question marks in the url. The numbers behind seem to be some kind of serial number. If I remove that part the image displays. What is HC2 doing here?

Hi, i got several foscam. Since there are problems retrieving a mjpg from newer models, i like to have picture refreshing every 5 sec. There is an option in HC2 to do so.. But when I use it, I only get the FAIL-Picture. If I use the snappicture cgi-command with the mjpg-option an show MJPG on the main-page it works fine, but there is no refresh option. Copying the same command to JPG-URL option- it won't work. So ist must be an HC2 -problem? Any experience with that? Thanks Gerhard

I'm guessing it's not currently possible to set a virtual device icon to a url as of 4.082? Gave it a shot and was a little amazed this isn't possible. Since custom plugins have been disabled, I guess it leaves virtual devices as the only method for controlling 3rd party systems and devices. Not very easy to work with FIbaro. Making a nice Squeezebox remote has been a headache and looks pretty nasty. Was hoping to at least use the cover art for the icon. Is there any other workarounds? (or a way to "inject" custom plugins? )
