Run HC2 device commands or scene from external devices (API)

[B A S 0]

Hi,

To control my media center equipment, I am currently using a RedEye remote from Thinkflood.

This device is capable of sending outgoing HTTP requests or any information over a TCP socket (by using LuaSocket scripting).

Currently, my RedEye remote correctly enables all the necessary devices without any problems. However, my projector screen is being switched by a Fibaro shutter switch (attached to my HC2).

Are there any options to send an HTTP request directly to the HC2 controller, telling it to lower the projector screen?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

BAS

Make a virtual device with the correct IP address and Port.

In string to send:

where the path is the part of the string after the ip address (and port).

EDIT:

Sorry didn't read you message corect. As long as there is no API you can have a look at:

Hi Marcel,

you may have check this out.

I haven't got any feedback if this works for other users. I've done some reverse engineering and it works for my setup. Not sure if there aren't any device/home network specific codes that I potentially missed.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your feedback. I have checked the API page you quoted previously, however this does not seem to work on the latest beta version (2.138) anymore.

TCP port 4420, which the API would use to communicate with the FibaroServer process is not listening anymore in this firmware.

Hopefully Fibaro will implement such a feature in a future release...

No problem. Ok good to know. The latest beta is meant for migrating to a full API, so it will come..... I need it to

Hi,

when I was using the 1.44 version I integrated redeye to send http commands with the HC2, using this string

Scripting.SendHttpMessage("fibaro/externalRequest.php?id=setDimmableLight&deviceID=xx&value=xx")

With the new version how do I do that?

at the webrowser now I use: http:///api/callAction?deviceID=xx&name=setValue&arg1=xx, and the command works, but at the redeye controller don't!

I also tried with the user when i'm not logged into HC2:

admin:admin@http:///api/callAction?deviceID=xx&name=setValue&arg1=xx, again works in browser and not in the redeye!

Any Ideas??

Hi Eduardo,

Add a new device with a new IP port:

- Protocol: HTTP

- Hostname: IP address of your HC2

- Port number: 80

Then add a new command, using the following script:

The included Base64 encoded part stands for admin:admin

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hi,

I just can't get it to work.

Have added new device and new IP port to Redeye.

- Protocol: HTTP

- Hostname: IP address of your HC2

- Port number: 80

Then copy code from this page to script window.

require "systemScript"

local headers = {

["Accept"] = "text/plain",

["Accept-Charset"] = "utf-8",

["Authorization"] = "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" -- Base64 encoded username:password (admin:admin)

}

Scripting.SendHttpMessage("api/callAction?deviceID=60&name=setValue&arg1=100", nil, nil, headers)

My dimmer id is 60, username and password admin.

Home Center software 3.550.

This is driving me crazy.

Hello have a new problem again!!

Have a redeye integrated with a somfy controller via rs232. At the redeye script I send these commands using Lua:

down

require "systemScript"

Scripting.SendMessage("\127\242\250\001\000\000\224\111\250\255\253\006\177")

stop

require "systemScript"

Scripting.SendMessage("\127\242\250\001\000\000\224\111\250\255\252\006\176")

up

require "systemScript"

Scripting.SendMessage("\127\242\250\001\000\000\224\111\250\255\254\006\178")

I would like to know how can I send thse commands using the virtual device in Fibaro! Any ideas!!

Eduardo,

If your commands works fine as a LUA scene, then you can create virtual device with LUA option, and specyfic button will run your code.

Krystian,

I´ve already tried that and did´n get any response....

Doesn´t work as a Lua scene, the script that i postedis from the redeye.
