HC3 and API

[eric78 1]

Dear all

 

In the past, few days ago :=) with my HC2 I used these commands lines

 

Please login or register to see this link.

/api/callAction?deviceID=28&name=turnOn  and

http://ADMIN:[email protected]/api/sceneControl?id=10&action=start

 

The first one, to activate a device, is works fine with HC3, no problem

The second, to execute a scene doesn't work with the HC3

 

Please, could you give me the new command line for HC3 to execute a scene

 

Thanks in advance

As i said before  try with 

 

POST Method

/api/scenes/YOUR_SCENE_ID/execute

and in the body: {} if no arguments to pass

 

You can see the API using swagger from the HC3 interface

did you find the correct api?

Tried that, the first part seems to work. When entering this in a browser, a page opens, asking for a login and password. After filling in the required part, nothing happens. Not sure if the password was correct or not :), just a white page. Scene did not execute.

 

Can you give a hint what input and what dividers are expected? Swagger was not clear on that

 

Thanks!

Requires POST method, you do not do that directly in browser. Tub can achieve this directly with swagger or postman or others...

do not forget to pass the body

[morpheus75 77]

How would I pass the body? 

I'm using HA Bridge.

Thanks

 

Sorted! - In HA BRidge you have to add the elements under the respective heading and i have got scenes to work.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. With homecenter 2 it was as simple as just passing an URL (via POST) to execute a scene. Now in HC3 it doesn't wordt. How can i achieve something tat was simple at first, but seems hard now? A guide or steps would help a lot? I'm not a programmer or someone who is building websites all day and this way it is somehow a search and find game  . Apparently there are a lot of people who find this easy? Thanks!

Couldn't get it to work either. As a work around i created a quick app (binary switch or something else) that can be triggered from devices . You can create a scene with the created quick app as trigger. Don't forget to switch your binary switch back to off, i didn't have the toggle option to choose from. I didn't test a normal switch yet, maybe that gives the toggle option so you don't have to switch the device off again.

Hours spent in troubleshooting and it was up to me only .... wrong device looking to a wrong IP  

But this worked for me to trigger the API:

 

 

    self.http:request("http://127.0.0.1/api/service/backups", {

        options = {

            data = json.encode(requestBody),

            method = "PUT",

        },

        success = function(response)

            self:debug(response.status)

            self:debug(response.data)

        end,

        error = function(message)

            self:debug("error:", message)

        end

    })

I tried to turn on and turn off a light with both swagger and with the curl commandline on my laptop but it takes 30 seconds before the light changes.

Is this the way it works or can I speed up things somehow?

[Krikroff 199]

30 seconds is not acceptable

We agree on that

Any hints on where to start troubleshooting?

I have only 4-6% CPU load and 39% free RAM

Have you the problem when you turn on/off from HC UI or from mobile app ?

No. Fast as a shark. Instant control

ME STUPID! ?

I didn´t look carefully on the code in swagger

"delay": 30 ?

With "delay": 0 there is no delay  

 

 

[Krikroff 199]

That’s my next question ? for sure it’s ok with 0 delay ?

Hi All

I have used the above commands to operate scenes and devices via a URL call and all works OK - except

Every time I issue a URL call via Edge Browser on Windows it opens a browser window with what appears to be Java code (not sure about that)

{
    "endTimestampMillis": 1715211160212,
    "id": 0,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": {
        "result": 0
    },
    "startTimestampMillis": 1715211160203
}

This is annoying as this window has to be closed manually

Is there a parameter that can be inserted on the api command line to close this window or a separate command to close that window 

that the api command opened

Regards Ro
