JSON with variables

[alex88 71]

Is it possible to reference a JSON table using a variable e.g.

can this be referred to with a variable for monday, e.g. day_of_week?

I get that the code above doesn't actually work, but is it possible somehow?

Glad I'm not the only one playing around with my HC2 on a Sunday night! 

 

I either didn't get what you wrote or I didn't explain myself very well.

 

I am retrieving tables from the HC2 api for heating and instead of having to hardcode in my code each value that I want to write back e.g.

i want to be able to use variables e.g. day_of_week = "monday", so I can write my code with this effect:

I get that by inserting "day_of_week" in the example above I am just writing to the value "properties.day_of_week.morning.temperature", but what I really want to write to is this value ""properties.monday.morning.temperature"

 

Does that make sense now?

 

Conversely, is it possible to reference a position in a JSON table e.g. if the table has 10 values, can you specify value number 3 to read from and write to? This would be a compromise, but better than having to hardcode all possible combinations in my code to be able to write to any point in a table.

Ahh  OK did not understand. This would probably work for you.

Would not normally be playing with HC2 but The Apprentice drove me to the far end of the house.

Nice one! 

 

Can't believe how long I spent searching for that, but couldn't find it.

EDIT: Just saw your updated post. Figured out the nesting of the brackets [x][y], but thanks for clarifying!
