How to trigger scene from REST API?

[dw89 8]

Hi All,

 

Maybe a simple one but I want to check before I do it. Basically I just want to make an external call to my HC2 to start a scene.

 

So, having not done this before, I guess I need to port forward to my HC2 and do something like this:

callAction? then what?

 

​I know you can do for a device like so : deviceID=51&&name=setArmed&arg1=0 

 

But obviously I want to start scene

 

Help much appreciated whilst I trawl forums for answer! I looked on Developer but can only see the above for devices....which doesn't help me personally.

Found....for anyone who needs to know it should be:

 

username:password@ip:port/api/sceneControl?id=YOURID&action=start

You can either look it up on developer.fibaro.com or use firebug pluguin for your browser to check paths and payloads.

Hi,

I tried the invokeScenes-Parameter and changed a global Variable from Rest-API. In this case the scene did not run. Could someone confirm this behaviour. I tried it with HC2 on version 4.056.

I would very pleased if it is possible to trigger a Scene by changing a global Variable by Rest-API.

 

Best regards

Work with me in version 4.054.

I only use this format when calling from php script.

 

$data = array("name" => $strGlobalVar, "value" => $strValue, "invokeScenes" => true);

Hi,

 

I tried it with curl.

 

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" -X PUT --data '{"name": "AtHome", "value": "1", "invokeScenes":True}' 

Please login or register to see this link.

 

But this HTTP-Request does not trigger any Scene with the following header. The value of the varibale changed, but no scenes running.

 

--[[
%% properties
55 value
61 value
%% globals
AtHome
--]]

 

Could someone give me another hint, or could try it?

 

Thanks

Please use the documentation at

IP OF YOUR HC2>/docs/

 

There you can also make queries and issue actions from and to your live system. Very handy.

Hi Tomme,

 

this is not what I want. I would like to trigger a scene from other system automatically.

 

I use iButtons to check which one is at home. In the case of changing home-status the global variable is changed.

 

Now i will trigger a scene when the state of a global variable is changed through REST-Api.

 

It wont work at me.

Hi,

could you (or Fibaro) solve the problem to trigger a scene from other system automatically.?

Are there new information?

We are using Control4 to control Fibaro and our external programmer wrote a driver to start a scene. It is old driver (for version 3.xxx) so i cannot tell if it works for 100%.

I also made VD example for our dealers. At the end, i had to use double enter to get this works. And i believe starting scenes from Control4 works similiar like this:

 

POST /api/scenes/ID/action/start HTTP/1.1

Host: IP

Authorization: BASIC username:password ---- it is encoded in Base64
