How to use PUT, POST, etc. in Scenes

How?

I don't want to use VD for this.

For example using it for Philips Hue...

Is there any guide for this how to use it with other types of requests?

 

Since scenes are the way to go for efficient usage of HC2 this has to be known.

I totally support your request for information! Recently I built a Philips Hue interface with net.HTTPClient (so much better than using VD's which is really a crappy solution) and it does work, but for some reason it has time-out problems when the script is called multiple times. I haven't been able to pinpoint the problem yet, but it seems that the net.HTTPClient is kept 'alive' even when it is has finished its send-receice task. When a next instance is created by another instance of the script, things go wrong (understandably, both instances try to use the same comms channel).

 

A default time-out of 5 seconds seems to be involved (or a multiple of that; I've seen 10 and 15) so I've been playing around with both time-outs, but to no avail. Same 5 second time-outs appeared.

 

It would be nice if Fibaro finally started doing their jobs and provide us with proper documentation! Being able to write real code instead of these primitive block scenes is  the only justification for buying the most expensive home controller on the market....
