Update of DDNS Using Scene

[Guest sameri]

Hi Guys,

 

First post on here. I've just moved from a Vera to the HC2 to give it a go and find things quite difficult.

 

I had a scene set up on my Vera than ran periodically to update my Dynamic DNS server using a wget function in Luup.

 

I've been mucking around tonight for quite a while using Lua scenes trying to achieve the same outcome with no luck!

 

I'm sure it's easy but can anyone help out?

 

Thanks! Sam.

AWESOME! It works.

 

I tried something VERY similar while mucking around the other night but didn't try it with just 'freedns.afraid.org' and no port number.

 

Thank you for the help!

 

For reference this is my final logic for those that are interested (Just had to fix up one code comment missing a '-'):

Which wget command did you use on your Vera?

Hi there. I used the following:

Just wondering if anyone was able to help with this?

What is the URL you are calling? If the WGET is is doing a simple HTTP GET action then you can do this quite easily in lua. Also what does the '5' signify in your previous example?

 

Heres a cut and shut of some code from the Hue virtual device I have:

Cheers for that.

 

Cannot remember what the 5 was as I butchered someone else's code at the time. Probably a timeout or retry count?

 

The URL is just the direct URL to my DDNS service. I will try your logic tonight and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help.

I've been playing with it tonight but it's very difficult when I'm not sure what the functions are.

 

What do I put as IP and Port?

 

I'm trying to access a web address of the form '

I've tried to use the IP address of the freedns.afraid.org website and port 80 but it doesn't work as it doesn't appear that the IP Address redirects to the website.

Try this, I don't know for sure if it will work, but I think it should. You can use DNS names as well as IP, and you don't require port if it runs on the default port 80. Obviously put back in your proper ID that you've 'xxxx' out
