save vd through api, scene or vd ?

[AutoFrank 372]

Hi,

Is it possible to save a vd though code in s a scene, a vd or with a API call.

I have some vd's that stop and a manual save recovers them. looking to do this programatically if possible

 

Thanks

Hi @AutoFrank,

 

as far as i'm aware @marecki_0luk1 made a VD to load icons and he is also working on loading VD's into HC2. So maybe he's able to answer your question

check the very nice VD created by @annhan91

 

i have used part of his code to create VD which download and install plugins, VDs and scenes from our company page

 

I can't share my code, so you have to start from what in the above VD. However, just to save should be much easier.

Hi @AutoFrank have a look here : 

Please login or register to see this link.

this scene has been made by one brillant member of the french forum, this scene is a must have

You must  be registered if it’s not done but it’s easy just try.

I took a quick look and he appears to use some of the undocumented api features (api/importvirtualdevice)

Any idea where I can find a list even if unofficial

 

I'll keep digging as well

oh well, there are a lot of them, within the firmware, many very interesting and useful (e.g. the new /api/userActivity )

 

You can use the hard way ->  you need ida decompiler (if you better understand arm then use HCL firmware), text / binary viewer, php decompiler (however this part is not interesting anymore), some c, java, asm knowledge and time - then you will find all of them and will be able to use them properly.

 

You can try as well simply text / binary viewer and search over the unpacked firmware update file, and with some luck you can put things together and try on your test HC2. In principle lot of the functions need some params, and luckily most of them has been used somewhere in code or other similar functions, Fibaro is very consistent here, so easy to follow / try. 

 

But remember, as they for internal use only, they might get deprecated someday.

I assume I can get the fw off the HC2 or the recovery USB

Do you know if there is an online resource where I can download directly...?

you don't the recovery iso, take simply the firmware update file, e.g. updatehcl.fibaro.com/4.162/patch.tar.gz (the last one with some deprecated php files, good to learn - when you manage to decrypt them, how push / email / etc has been designed in first place - this is now running over encrypted connection btw.) or updatehcl.fibaro.com/4.170/patch.tar.gz for the latest stable
