How to send http request from a switch2

[pierre 0]

I want to be able to either :

• send a http request when a switch is pushed - in order to send a command to a GCE IPX800 relay

or

• 'push'a virtual device to send the request when a switch is pushed.

I can send a LUA command to the IPX800 and it works.

I did not find how to do the same when a switch is pushed.

I need to do that because the switches are not directly connect to the lights, ...

 

Thanks a lot for your help.

the LUA scene you used can be triggered from a switch.

under the %%properties at the top of the scene just add the ID of the switch and the word 'value'

eg switch ID is 22

 

--[[

%%properties

22 value

%%events

%%globals

]]

 

hope this helps

I do not use a scene.

I've 56 switches.

I don't think it is possible to use so much scenes for ON and OFF.

What I'd like to do is to either send a http request form the switch programming page or trigger the virtual device form the switch page.

Best way would be to send http request from the switvch programming page.

I need to send :

ON :

HWS = Net.FHttp("172.17.10.63")
HWSReponse = HWS:GET("/api/xdevices.json?SetR=15")

OFF :

HWS = Net.FHttp("172.17.10.63")
HWSReponse = HWS:GET("/api/xdevices.json?ClearR=15")

Hi @pierre

 

Could I ask what you are looking to do with the http request and why you want it to be triggered from the switch

Hi,

as mentioned earlier the switchss are not connect directly to the lights because of the way the cabling was done..

The lights are connected to relay. In this case EGC IPX800.

So I need to send a command to the relay when a switch is pushed.

Switches are only used to send info not to switch on - off the lights.

@pierre

 

assume switch ID is 22

 

--[[

%%properties

22 value

]]

 

local sw = fibaro:call(22, 'Value')

 

if (sw == '0') then

 

PUT LUA CODE HERE FOR OFF

 

end

 

if (sw == '1') then

 

PUT LUA CODE HERE FOR ON

 

end

 

 

so if switch in ON position then lights ON and if switch in OFF position then lights OFF

 

hope this helps

I'm not at home so I am a bit limited in resources, but you might be able to do it in one scene. You can put multiple triggers in the header, like:

22 value

23 value

 

Then use "getSourceTrigger()"  to find out if it was device 22 or 23 that started the scene.
