Fibaro virtual device Xml read


pepijn

Recommended Posts

Dear forum readers.

 

I have a virtual device where I wanted to read the XML values from. i know that it is not possible to use external libs to read the XML.

the device wich I wanted to control has a status page which in XML format is.

 

I wanted that my virtual device can read the location ID and from each location id the Preset and the name and at last the type of "room"

I use Lua for the virtual device. hope that someone can help me out with this

I made this quick and dirty xml to Lua table converter in the past and it seems to be able to cope with your structure too. It's not standards compliant, does no error checks, and puts tag properties as elements in the Lua table. It's also bit unorthodox in how it handles arrays too. In your example you get {locations={location=[..]}, not the expected {locations=[{location=..},{location=..}]}. In short, you don't know if you have an array or not. However, it's possible to cope with, see use of "array" below. The regexps may need to be modified if you have tags with other chars than lowercase letter and "_".

    Yes, I guess you are getting the xml text with some http request, and then it's depend on what you want to do with values...

  • So i have this as code right now . 

     

    Please login or register to see this code.

    But when i run the debug it will never say klaar (Done ) or print out the ID and name of the room what do I wrong?  

    i needed the id and the name + the Type  to set the preset of the room and  i wanted to read out wichs preset is already set so i can display that on a label .

    the code is getting stuck in the repeat  part of the function

     

    Kind regards pepijn

    Seems to be an issue with your http requests - or the way that you have structured the code? Do you have the code in the main loop or a button? Who prints the "Get Location" and "Start Function" logs? ...and why do it in a VD?

    move the debug before the conversion as we never see the log otherwise. I expect there are some xml headers,

    Everything is inside a Virtual Device on a button.

    I have 4 buttons wich all have to read out the xml 

     

    My HTTP request is working i know that because i can get the amount of characters  back from the xml ( and it is exact the same)

    Yes, just log the xml result before calling the html2lua function so we can see the result, as it doesn't seem to terminate. Probably because some xml schema header...

    Sorry, it should have been str:byte, and print out some more chars. You have some headers that was not part of the example in your first post that the code seems to stumble on. Strange though that you don't get any log. Must be that the HC2 console interprets it as html...

    Ok, seems to be a standard xml schema header. Change the beginning of html2lua to this

    Guess the name of the function should be xml2lua ;-)

    What kind of error? It still seems like what you get is not what you had in your first example. 

    Can you do this to print the xml data?
