Access the HC2 API


tnesheim

Question

Hi

I'm trying to access the Fibaro API from a M5Stack-device. I'm already interfacing a Homey to my HC2 using "embedded user/password" in the url...and this works.

On on the M5Stack i get a 401/(unauthorized access) in return when using the "embedded username/password" approach, so I guess that this is not a feasible way.

It seems that i need to enter the url (which should be ok), and some information in as "headers" and "data". It's probably in there I need to enter the username and password....as well as "Content-type"??

 

Can anyone point me in the correct direction...what information to put where?

I don't have code for you but it is called "Basic Authentication" and wiki says

 

Please login or register to see this link.

 

"a header field in the form of Authorization: Basic <credentials>, where credentials is the base64 encoding of id and password joined by a single colon :."

 

Wireshark:


Hypertext Transfer Protocol
    GET /api/devices HTTP/1.1\r\n
    Host: 192.168.1.1\r\n
    User-Agent: LuaSocket 3.0-rc1\r\n
    Authorization: Basic <<<<<<<credentials here>>>>>>>>\r\n
    TE: trailers\r\n
    Connection: close, TE\r\n
    \r\n
    [Full request URI: http://192.168.0.51/api/devices]
    [HTTP request 1/1]
    [Response in frame: 1638]

  • One step further....my HC2 is now complaining about unauthorized login attempts?

    Okay! Try "wireshark" if you have a managed hub with monitoring port. Or a 20 year old dumb hub. Or set your ESP to send to your PC with wireshark (assuming you have a web server listening. Because this tool will decode all your stuff and probably reveals the error. You have to wait 30 minutes to get unblocked anyway.

    Hi @tnesheim ... something different. I see you have Homey and HC2. If you must choose between one of them ... ? ... which one would you choose.

    I think the two controllers are complementary. I´ve heard that the Homey z-wave range is poor, but on the other hand there are a lot of apps for all sorts of non-z-wave-stuff. So I use the HC2 for the core smart house stuff, z-wave and Hue, and the Homey as a multiprotocol bridge for my Somfys, Doorbird, Doorman, Push-messages etc... I use the API-to tie the together...

  • I finally made it... I used a key-generator 

    Please login or register to see this link.

     that made a key that I inserted into the header in my M5Stack program. I now display the value of HC2-global variables in the M5-display?

     

    My plan i to have a discrete display that can show alerts....eg before nighttime that shows that all doors are locked (I already have sensors for this)...
