I would like to create a scene where I can set my Samsung TV that switches exactly 20 clock itself on channel 1 .
Unfortunately, I do not know how I can embed a module in a virtual scene .

 

Thank you for your help.

You cant.

 

It´s a really bad limitation of the plugins currently that really should be fixed.

What is the meaning of plugins from a home automation perspective if they can't be used in scenes? So strange!

same for me, I cannot understand the plugin if I cannot control it.

No need to have the remote controller in the Fibaro app because I have a real remote controller and in case there is also the Samsung app with their remote controller already free of charge.

So what I would need from an automated system is for example:

- someone opens the external door while I am watching TV and the system automatically switches the Samsung TV to HDMI2 to show the external webcam

If something like that is not possible then it's not needed at all. My opinion.

of course one can control plugins from a scene, if there are any actions defined (example: our Sonos Plugin), you can call them via LUA

and if there are no actions defined you can still call the Plugin UI, like

 

http://HCx//api/plugins/callUIEvent?deviceID=823&elementName=pause_Button&eventType=onReleased

 

where deviceID is Plugin ID, elementName the actual Plugin Button Name and Type the action which need to be considered.

To get these values, simply inspect the code in your browser (right click on element, here Power Button of Samsung plugin and do Inspect):

 

 

This can be done from scene (LUA only, so not on HCL, unless you create VD which calls all Buttons via http get -> example here

or from VD (LUA or HTTP GET)

hi tinman, yes it works.

I created a VD with IP of HCL and port 11111

adding a button with the string:

GET /api/plugins/callUIEvent?deviceID=88&elementName=NUM_5_Button&eventType=onReleased HTTP/1.10x0D0x0AHost:192.168.1.10 0x0D0x0AAuthorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A

 

in that example the VD goes to channel 5 in the TV.

To be able to know the button code yes you need to inspect the graphic button but only if you use Chrome as browser.

thank you for the info
