http string to read sensor value from device thru API

[AutoFrank 372]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to read the value of a temp sensor and display in a webpage

 

I was trying to use a http call (the device is is 871)

 

If I drop the following into a browser I get all the data back

but I want to just display the 'value' field which contains the actual temp value

 

I tried the following and some versions

but it didn't seem to work

 

Alternatively if somebody has some webpage code that reads some value thought the API and displays it, I could work with that as well

 

 

Any suggestions ?

 

Thanks

Let's see if I understand. You have a HC2 and another device that can do a http request? And on that other device you want to get data from the HC2? If so, then the answer is: the result is JSON encoded, use whatever programming language that is available to extract the "value" field.

I can give you lua code to do that... Is your "other device" capable of running lua?

One 'curiosity' question 

 

What does this IP address refer to in the lua above

It runs the same service as the public IP but doesn't require authentication. A firewall rule prevents outside access, so your homecenter is safe.
