How to string.sub API string?

[gediminasv705 0]

Hello fibaro people,

I'm trying to figure out how to get values from api string. I can get a long string from 'HCID/api/panels/heating?id=4', but I can't get the values of it.

for example I get:

{"id":4,"name":"Svetaine","properties":{"monday":{"morning":{"hour":6,"minute":0,"temperature":33},"day":{"hour":12,"minute":0,"temperature":33},"evening":

.......................................................................................................................................

......................................................................................................................................

.......................................................................................................................................

{"hour":0,"minute":0,"temperature":33}},"handTemperature":0,"handTimestamp":1410518435,"vacationTemperature":6,"rooms":[11]},"created":1411105699,"modified":1411105699}

And I want to get morning temperature from it...

Any thoughts?

gediminasv705, that is json, so use json.decode. Example you can saw in virtual device with heating (few of them you can saw on forum)

I tried to use json.decode, but got an error message: [ERROR] 17:51:26: line 13: calling 'decode' on bad self (expected 1 argument)

Can anybody give me an example? I tried to search in forum, but couldn't find any (please, post a link, if you saw any example with json in virtual device).

Thank you

Hi gediminasv705,

Please login or register to see this link.

is what you're looking for.

Edit: Please note that this will only work in a virtual device, not a scene.

Adam.Bewsher, it will also work in scenes but from version 4.017+

Thanks A.Socha, good point!

For everyone not yet using 4.017+, don't get frustrated if your code doesn't work in a scene, just move it to a virtual device - you can call the virtual device buttons from a scene if you need it to be triggered.

Happy Automating,
