[SOLVED]/api/devices only returns 10 devices while there are many more

[tom's 0]

My HC2 with firmware 4.140 does not list all registered devices when I do a ///api/devices. It only returns 10 devices in the JSON response array. When I try to access a device that is not listed in this response I get a "404 page not found" error. Some background: I have only installed the HC2 a few days ago. The first devices I registered appear in the JSON device list. Then I moved the HC2 to another floor and registered more devices. These devices do not appear in the JSON, although they work perfectly fine in the HC2 GUI. I have also rebooted the HC2, but it still won't allow API access to all devices.

 

Any idea what's happening here?

 

Thank you for your assistance

It sorted itself out. After waiting another night it now shows all devices... I have no idea what caused the sudden self-repair...

Hi @tom's,

 

Maybe it was some caching issue and like you've mentioned, only time could help.

 

Glad it works now!

Well, I'm afraid I was a bit too quick there... I have checked the URL on my usual Win 8 desktop PC and there it works. However, when I access the URL from my PC that I use for HomeControl that still runs XP, the issue still exists.

 

In detail:

 

I access http://hcip/api/devices to see all devices or  http://hcip/api/devices/13 (to check a specific one, which is among the first 10) or http://hcip/api/devices/45 (which is not among the first 10). On my usual desktop PC all 3 requests return the expected results. On my XP PC the devices-only returns only 10 devices, die devices/13 returns proper JSON data and the devices/45 returns a 404-page-not-found. This happens using Chrome, IE 8 or Firefox.

When I use wget (for Windows) I get 404 errors on the devices/45 even on my desktop PC. So I would gess that it has somehow to do with the browser, http-headers, or so...

Hi again,

 

What browsers do you use on those PCs?

 

Furthermore, are you logged in on the admin account?

It still looks like a permission problem.

 

Are you sure you operate on user which has necessary rights to all devices?

Ok, you ARE RIGHT! It has to do with my "admin" user. I went back to my XP PC, into chrome, and just entered 10.1.1.12/api/devices/45. Chrome asked for authentication and I entered my superuser crendentials and got the proper response. Then I restarted Chrome, entered the same URL and then the "admin" credentials and got my 404.

 

So, thank you for pointing into the right direction. Must have been a newbies error  The reason why it worked on some devices is that I created the first 10 devices, then the "admin" user, and then further devices.... and apparently on some systems I had cached the "admin" credentials and on other the superuser credentials. Total messup on my end.

 

Thank you so much for enlightening me...
