[Guest 22]

Anyone here who might know if it is possible to set a variable's value thru an URL?

 

Something like:

I think this is possible (not tested)

 

yourusername = the username you use to login to your fibaro box (default admin)

yourpassword = the password you use to login to your box

boxip = set here the network ip of your box

yourdeviceid = set the device id of the item you want to change

Thank you for the info.

 

I think that the callAction is for turning a device on / off.

What I would like to do is set a global variable.

But it looks like that it is not easily working with an URL.

Why you need that? May be there is another way to execute what you need!?

[Guest 22]

Thank you Alex,

 

I've searched on the forum, but never seen the posts you mentioned.

 

Once again than you!

Hi cag014.

 

I need to receive a "pushed" value from another server.

The server is doing this by using a "post".

First of all there is a way to change variable value via API .  Please refer to 

Please login or register to see this link.

   globalVariables section (PUT option). 

 

Here an example to do it on HC2

In case you have limited number of values from your server may I suggest to create Virtual Device with several buttons for every value. In this case it's much easier to use API for button pressing

Unfortunately it is not a limited number of values

 

The string consists of 10 or more random numbers (they are phone numbers)

This string is being pushed by an Asterisk PBX server when a call is received.

 

At the moment I'm pushing the string to another server, and reading it (as JSON) with a VD in HC2.

Things would be so much easer when I can push (and read the value) strait away to the VD in HC2

Still I believe you can use HTTP at your server to set global variable

Just registered on fiber developers and i really love the rest api they offer! I will try to write my own interface now with jQuery.

This example will populate the variable LastCall with 1234567890

Only problem is that no scene will get triggered by this.

(At least with version 4.070)

 

Somebody has written to add parameter '"invokeScenes":True'

But this did not work for me.

[Alex 32]

It is working.

"True" must be in lower cases: "true".

 

So this should work:
