PowerView VD

[floordk 0]

I can't get the PowerView VD's from fibaro marketplace to work. I've got the 2nd gen. hub, is that ihe reason?

No, I have used Powerview plugin, but since 4.56 the plugin is not working anymore.

I logged the bug with Fibaro already a few weeks ago, they acknowledged the problem, but since then did not resolve the issue.

 

so I wrote my own virtual device to control my Powerview blinds. Working perfect.

Powerview plugin is working fine on 4.57, but VD cannot...

Also rolled back to 4.55 with same result......

VD still working fine for me, I’ll update to 4.57 later this week, but will not switch back to the plugin. With the plugin I had a scene for every blind (21 in total), the VD is a number of buttons, nicely arranged and much more compact

My challange is that I want to include Powerview in HC2 scenes.

So far I have tried VD connecting via the plugin with this string:

 

GET /api/plugins/callUIEvent?deviceID=555&elementName=playScene&eventType=onReleased HTTP/1.1
Host: HC2-IP
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4K

 

This certainly doesen't work, I get an 202 errorcode

 

 

Are you interested in sharing how you do it. My programming skills are not that good yet?

Hello @floordk,

 

Your VD lua code looks complicated.

Here is the lua code I have put at each button of the VD (sceneID's differ of course)

 

PI = Net.FHttp("192.168.178.120",80);

r, s, e = PI:GET("/api/scenes?sceneId=33720");

 

192.168.178.120  is the IP address of the PowerView Hub, sceneID of the relevant PowerView scene is 33720

 

Perhaps you know, but you can obtain all scenes of the PowerView Hub from issuing the following url in a browser: 

http://192.168.178.120/api/scenes

 

This will return output like:

{"sceneIds":[33720,30894],

"sceneData":[

{"roomId":31392,"name":"WmlqIEhhbGY=","colorId":7,"iconId":54,"networkNumber":30,"id":33720,"order":12,"hkAssist":false},

{"roomId":31392,"name":"WmlqIEJhbmsgR2VzbG90ZW4=","colorId":7,"iconId":54,"networkNumber":20,"id":30894,"order":15,"hkAssist":false}…

 

showing the sceneid (here above in red), and the name of the scene (again in red), however, the name in base64 encoded.

Copy the string and find a base64 decoder on the web (there are plenty of online decoding sites), paste the name on such a decoder and in return you will get the name is shown in your PowerView app.

 

Good luck with this, let me know if you need more help, glad to support.

Rgds,

Wim
