Hi,

 

I also had the wget - error 404 problem referred to in an earlier posts.

 

In the end I worked out how to get around the wget - error 404 problem as follows:

 

1. download the latest version of the habridge.jar file from GitHub (at the time the latest version was ha-bridge-3.5.1), I did this with my windows laptop.

2. download and install FileZilla, I did this from my windows laptop - then - click on "file", followed by "site manager" and set up a new connection by clicking on "new site". In the Host field enter the IP address of the Pi, Port leave blank, Protocol use SFTP, Logon type normal, Username is your normal pi user name which "pi" by default, password is you pi password, usually "raspberry". then make sure your pi is on and connected to the network then click connect

3. From within the FileZilla application navigate to the new habridge folder on the Pi and copy over the ha-bridge-3.5.1.jar file that you downloaded earlier in (1 above) into the pi's habridge folder

 

Follow all the other instructions within this thread (other than substituting the new ha-bridge-3.5.1.jar file name or simply renaming the file so that the script point to the correct file) and you will be fine.

 

Hope this helps anyone else who had the wget error 404.

 

David

  • Good tip Bacon2002 thanks.

    sometimes the website is not quick at responding hence the 404 errors.

     

    thanks

    Dimming is done as follows....

    http://user:password@ipaddress/api/callAction?deviceID=xxx&name=setValue&arg1=${intensity.percent}

    Change BOLD to your settings.

    Hi Guys,  I have the latest BETA version of SONOS's software.  In this early stage they have only included a ............ etc

     

     I have another Beta update and there is still not any sign of SONOS to be seen.  I am starting to think the last announcement by the CEO might be a waste of time, this time around

    Fortunately I found that the team at Domotics has coded a branch of the solution which actually scan and configures HC2 devices.

     

    Hi,

     

    @morpheus75 - thanks for the tutorial and the docs on your website. I had mine up and running very fast.

    @Desmo

    There was a few mentions of a code branch that automatically scans your system and auto-populates the bridge

    Did anybody manage to get this working ?

    there is a guy from Singapore who has written a .jar file based on bwssytems which does automatically scan the fibaro system.

    it is still on version 3.2. i think. i am running it as he sent me the file but you d have to ask for it.

    to be honest it just makes writing the api code easier and thats it.

    If you dont have the file then Copy and Paste and amending the device ID is almost just as easy.

    Thanks @morpheus75

    I was beginning to think the same, some these auto scans dumps more rubbish into the setup and it takes an equal amount of time to delete whats not wanted.

     

    Do you know are the only announcement options the "turn on", "turn off", "set level to" or are there more options available ?

    If so is the limit in the HA bridge or on the AWS Echo Interface/Skill side ?

     

    lastly I tried a scene last evening and no luck

    from what I understand you place the API call on the "turn on" field and the announcement is "Turn on XXXXXXXX" and the same approach to a VD/button press 

    is this correct ?

    Hi Frank,

    I presume that you have run the Discovery Procedure inside the Alexa App?

    Hi @lennypenny

    yep, they were showing in the list and, Alexa said "ok" after I asked but nothing happened, maybe its something in the http call structure ...

    Are scenes and vd all added to the "Turn On" section and are all "GET" requests ?

     

    Thanks

    i spoke with this same company "automate asia" awhile back and they sent me the jar file to play with.  i decided to stick with BWS official version just so i could stay more current with new features.  it does auto search for fibaro devices and  here is the link to their website describing it.

      ive attached the Jar file below for you.

    just make sure that the http requests are all valid and that you click on the save on the right side.

    filling in TURN ON is manadtory whereas the DIM or TURN OFF are not.

    double check towards the end of the video and remember to re-initialise the bridge. sometimes that helps

    Hi @AutoFrank

     

    Have you tested the connection directly from HA-Bridge using the test buttons on the main Bridge Devices page?  If nothing happens from there, then check for messages on the Logs page.

    Has anybody got the HA dim command working with a VD slider ?
