How to get name of a device in LUA

[richo 4]

Anyone knows how to get the "name" of a device (not type) in LUA - i.ex.

"id": 166,

"name": "Kamerka wolny",

I want to use it in messages as a local variable based on Device ID.

I think you could use http APIs to get a JSON string and then decode it in lua and you would then have the name in the array.

Is this a bug in LUA or is it something else ?

BTW I was trying to give an examle using json.decode. But because of the nested additional json string (properties) this code is not working:

If i test it with:

response = '{"id":4,"name":"Bedlamp Floris","roomID":1,"type":"binary_light"}'

it works, if i do with the total returned json string:

{"id":4,"name":"Bedlamp Floris","roomID":1,"type":"binary_light","properties":{"UIMessageSendTime":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","classConfigure":"0,0,0,2,2,2,2,2","classGeneric":"37","classSupport":"32,37,39,50,112,114,133,134","classVersion":"1,1,1,2,1,1,2,1","dead":"0","deviceControlType":"2","deviceIcon":"1","disabled":"0","emailNotificationID":"2","emailNotificationType":"0","endPoint":"0","isBatteryOperated":"0","isLight":"1","liliOffCommand":"","liliOnCommand":"","meterSupport":"{\"vMeterSupport\":[{\"meterType\":1,\"sMeterType\":\"kWh\",\"meterScale\":0,\"sMeterScale\":\"\",\"value\":0,\"enable\":true,\"lastPolling\":1355559336,\"configuration\":true,\"retryConfig\":0},{\"meterType\":1,\"sMeterType\":\"W\",\"meterScale\":2,\"sMeterScale\":\"\",\"value\":0,\"enable\":true,\"lastPolling\":1355559337,\"configuration\":true,\"retryConfig\":0}]}","needConfigure":"5","type":"binary_light","nodeID":"3","parametersTemplate":"25","parentID":"1","pollingRetryError":"","pollingTime":"1362683844","pollingTimeNext":"1362684957","pollingTimeSec":"0","productInfo":"0,96,0,4,0,2,1,1","pushNotificationID":"1","pushNotificationType":"0","requestNodeNeighborState":"0","requestNodeNeighborStateTimeStemp":"0","sensorSupport":"","showChildren":"1","smsNotificationID":"1","smsNotificationType":"0","sortOrder":"999","type":"16","unit":"","unitMeter":"kWh","unitSensor":"W","userDescription":"Bedlamp Floris;Bedroom Floris","value":"0","valueMeter":"0","valueSensor":"0","zwaveCompany":"Everspring","zwaveInfo":"6,2,64","zwaveVersion":"","parameters":[],"associationView":[{"groupID":1,"devices":[1]},{"groupID":2,"devices":[1]}],"associationSet":[{"groupID":1,"devices":[1]},{"groupID":2,"devices":[1]}]},"actions":{"pollingTimeSec":1,"requestNodeNeighborUpdate":0,"resetMeter":0,"turnOff":0,"turnOn":0},"created":1362688420,"modified":1362688420}'
