Helo : need to retrive temperature via API from Linux BOX

[candrea77 26]

Hello,

I want to disable my scene that run each minute in order to retrive some temperature value and put it in ThingSpeak.

So i want to migrate it in a Linux Box , using API to retrive temperature

As far as i know , the URL for retrive a device value is : IPADDR/api/devices?id=xx

Here you are my question :

1) - This URL give all devices parameter .... is there a way to get only the temperature value ?

2) - Have someone try to do the same from a linux BOX ?

3) - If point2=yes .... what do you use to parse output of API ? Awk ? sed ? Is there an example ?

Thank you in advance

candrea77, API is accessible from other devices as long as you authenticate connection. You can also use virtual device to send specific value to the box, e.g. with PUT. This way you can easily use json.decode and use field you are interested in (temperature in your case).

Thank you for the reply.

Actually i'm sending value to ThingSpeak through HC2 with virtual device ..... and it work w/o problem.

But i want to stop all specific scene that run each minute , and load this process to my linux box ...... So i don't want a virtual device that send data to linux box (I just have virtual device that send data to thing speak !!!!) ..... I want a linux box that with shell script / wget and some other grab value using API from HC2.

So the question is :

1) - This URL give all devices parameter (IPADDR/api/devices?id=xx ) .... is there a way to get only the temperature value with a single URL for a specific temperature device like a Aeon4in1 that is my case ?

No. But since it is JSON it is easy to parse on a linux box. Python/PHP/etc all have modules for this purpose.
