Updating GlobalVar via API doesn't trigger scenes

[ALaguna 0]

I've tried to update a Global Variable with the REST API sending a PUT request to the HC2 IP. That works like a charm. However I've noticed that it wont' run scenes associated with said var. Anyone else have this issue?

[jakub.jezek 370]

Add to REST body invokeScenes: True.

 

Example of body: {"value":"xyz","invokeScenes":true"}

 

I know about that for about 1 year .

Thanks about that. It doesn't appear on the docs (

) so it was impossible for me to know.

Glad you asked this question, I was having the exact same problem and this solution worked for me.

).

 

I even asked Fibaro in one thread, simillar to this one about setting that on true by default, when variable is changed. When i will go to Poland i will stop in Fibaro with several questions, including feature request with invokeScenes property.

Hi Darren,

 

It should be something like that, if you want to start a scene on variable change:

Content_Lenght is some number. It is Lenght of whole body starting with { and ending with }.

Thanks for that...I was trying to work that into a maker call from IFTTT.

Hello

, can you please tell me how to write this call correctly in IFTTT.

I would like to update a variable via the IFTTT.

 

Many Thanks.

I couldn't work out how to put this into a web hooks call...I created a virtual and changed the variable through that.

Google Assistant

webhook

body

{ "value": "Recognized word", "invokeScenes": true }

 

This works but how can I get the recognized word fom Google Assistant into the body.

It should also go over the API from Google Assistant  but I do not know how I can realize this.

wenn man es schaffen würde das erkannte wollt in eine Variable zu writing then everything is possible..

Hi,

As having similar problem, can someone write an example of updating global variable straight from browser http request, I mean like:

http://username:password@HC2-IP:hc2port/api/globalVariables/"variable_name" "+ update to data"

or point me to some site where I can get a clue for that.

As HC2 does not provide a solution getting data straight from mysql database, I need to make another machine to update global variable.

Thanks for your time.
