Create VD through API

[pos 22]

Hi

 

I can auto create global variables from LUA like this...

function createglobalvar(name, value) -- We create a global variable
  if fibaro:getGlobalValue(name) == nil then
    local HOST = Net.FHttp("127.0.0.1",11111);
    local response ,status, err = HOST:POST('/api/globalVariables','{"name":"'..name..'","value":"'..value..'"}');
      if DEBUG >= 2 then fibaro:debug('Global variable create status: ' .. status .. ' Error code: ' .. err) end
      if SYSLOG == 1 then syslogserver('Global variable create status: ' .. status .. ' Error code: ' .. err) end

    if (tonumber(status) == 201 and tonumber(err)==0) then
      if DEBUG >= 1 then fibaro:debug('Global variable ' .. name .. ' created') end
      if SYSLOG == 1 then syslogserver('Global variable ' .. name .. ' created') end
      if DEBUG >= 3 then fibaro:debug('Response data: ' .. response) end
      if DEBUG >= 3 and SYSLOG == 1 then syslogserver('Response data: ' .. response) end
    end

  else
    if DEBUG >= 1 then fibaro:debug('Global variable: ' .. name .. ' already exist') end
    if SYSLOG == 1 then syslogserver('Global variable: ' .. name .. ' already exist') end
  end 
end

 

I use that a lot now... 

 

But...

 

How can I create a VD? I want to be able to create VDs and VD labels from LUA as well... I simply cannot make it work. And the docs s u c k s.

 

Thanks in advance

It works now...

 

The documented API for fibaro states POST to /api/devices to create a device whereas the correct one (found in an old post somewhere) is /api/virtualDevices .

 

The working /api/virtualDevices is NOT documented at http://MyHC2/docs or at developer.fibaro.com

I simply get...

 

DEBUG] 01:14:21: VD create: 400 Error code: 0
[DEBUG] 01:14:21: respons {"type":"ERROR","reason":"Type not found","message":"Type 'virtual_device'' is not installed in the system."}

 

 

But it seems all virtual devices have type "virtual_device" when listing devices....

 

 

Any clue? Anyone?
