GET /api/api.php?api=user&ver=1.0&key=8dfsdf9sdf7sdf9sdf89sd8fsd7f9&cmd=OBJECT_GET_LOCATIONS,34530450934508934 HTTP/1.1
Host: gpslivepremium.co.uk
Authorization: Basic ssd5345345345GDGDFG45345345DDY=

 

Could anyone help... because if i can get it to work it means i can use this method to switch heating/lights etc on when the car gets home! no more killing phone battery with gps

I was thinking of using Json for this, but it's not a valid return..

 

PS: Nothing on that location!

But thank you for trying... the above code should have been valid json but it seems to be like a child table within a table? i can debug it to a log if i substract the brackets

 

jsonTMP = string.sub(response, 1, -1)

 

but cannot work it out from there

Maybe string.match might work?

I think that will work quite well! Now time to do some more learning

Żaden problem

[fi-bar-oh 47]

local angle = string.match(jsonTMP, 'angle":"%d+"')

fibaro:debug(angle)

local angle2 = string.match(angle, '%d+')

fibaro:debug(angle2)

 

got round one of the values doing this... if you can see a better way please share

but thank you for the right direction

[fi-bar-oh 47]

Excellent thanks for you help it all works now even using longitude and latitude i can set variable to home/away and have garden lights switch on etc... detect when the ignition on the car is on or off so ignition off and home = garden lights on

 

ignition on and away then garden lights off and arm alarm at home

 

been after a solution for this for a long time that has low battery impact and its perfect
