Tasker (Android)

How to use HTTP POST to push a new variable value to fibaro?

HC2 = Net.FHttp("192.168.0.8",80);

HC2:setBasicAuthentication("admin", "admin");

local payload = '{"id": 2, "tracking": 60}';

response ,status, errorCode = HC2:PUT("/api/users", payload);

if tonumber(status) == 200 then

fibaro:debug("GPS was set to = 60");

fibaro:setGlobal("DEAN", "HOME");

else

fibaro:debug("Status = "..status);

fibaro:debug("Error code = "..errorCode);

end

if fibaro can push it surely tasker can?

below is what i want to send via tasker http post...

curl --request PUT 'http://admin:[email protected]:80/api/globalVariables' \

--data 'name=DEAN&value=HOME'

Hi,

I am launching JS scriptlet with HTTP PUT request

I have not found HTTP PUT as a task.

Works perfect

I use a php script to send data to hc2 via cURL, so it is possible for sure. But you need to ensure that you include the correct headers otherwise the HC2 won't accept the request. Also make sure to use the PUT method, not POST as it will replace the entire destination, thus erasing the other globals.

Dalle correct headers? this is all new to me? any advice or small example?

I uploaded a package in a post called "Cross platform tablet interface" which is basically a php-package for a tablet interface. If you download the package, there is a script called "globaloutput.php" - this is the script I use to update globals on the HC2 and it includes the headers. You need to describe in the http-request that the receiver must accept the data package (the body) in the form of json, if you don't state this in your post, the receiver will just accept it as plain text and it wont know what to do with the response - this is the function of the header. It would be the same as opening an HTML-document in a browser without the browser knowing what to do with it, then it will just show the code, instead of the text and pictures you've included.

Off the top of my head, I think the headers should look something like this:

And then it really should work through cURL
