Hi @sonnyboy

 

perhaps this is a stupid question but are you trying to update the value stored in the global variable and change the name of the global variable itself ?

 

-f

@AutoFrank

@sonnyboy

Thanks, I've never used the docs to update a variable

Have you tried the lua approach

I took a look at the docs and I can seem to get the parameters that relate to a global variable

it looks like the id can be the variable name but when I try a PUT it fails

which is a bit unexpected.

To be honest I've never used this approach so I don't know if it works

perhaps some other forum users have more experience in this space

.. sorry

Thanks for tryining

i got the same result as you.

With lua it works but i want to do it with the API, i got my old 1-wire system with the kWh per day and now i want that system to update the global, and 08:00 every day HC:2 sends a push or notifikation with the value stored in the global .

@sonnyboy

definitely new to me but If it was me I'd work from the RESTAPI documentation and not docs

Hi @sonnyboy and @AutoFrank,

 

If you want to change global variable value using FGHC REST API then in body you need to enter this line:

@Sankotronic

Many thanks

 

@Sankotronic or anybody else

Do you know how the complete url look like?

This doesent work  http://192.168.88.148:80/api/globalVariables/kWh{"value":"7"}

My "7" will change to "$1" when this is figured out

 

 

Edit: Forget this i will do a Json readout intstead and update the variable from that VD.
