Lua help

[Webster 0]

hello 

 

i'm stuck 

 

i have a raspberry pi that is reading the smart meter 

 

and i send the values to a text file 

 

the output of that file is shown in a php file like this 

 

[{ daldag: 3218, piekdag: 2165, vermogen: 497, gas: 1799.421}]

 

the thing that i want is to read the value with lua into a virtual device to show the power consumption 

 

daldag : 3218 = 3218 KWH power consumption on low cost total meter readout 

piekdag : 2165 = 2165 KWH power consumption on high cost total meter readout 

vermogen : 497 = 497 Watt current power consumption live reading 10 sec interval refresh

gas: 1799.421 = 1799.421 M3 gas meter total readout 

 

so the question is how to read the different values with lua 

 

many thanks 

 

Rex

Code it as json, get the data with HTTP call (multiple examples here on the forum) and parse the json.
