Toggle option in api/devices/.../action/...

[Elio 0]

Hi all,

Has anyone manage to get this to work, or actually even work out what the action 'param' for toggle is

 

Please login or register to see this link.

/api/devices/541/action/turnOn

works fine as does action/turnOff

 

docs say a double switch has these actions :

Actions:

• Turn on
• Turn off
• Toggle

 

I've tried every permutaion of toggle turnToggle, upper / lower case I can think of but cant work out the 'toggle' option.....

 

I've managed to get a whole bunch of esp8266 (tasmota) stuff working with Fibaro (inbound as sensors/switches as well as managed devices/VD's) but the fact I cant 'toggle' a lights status via a remote battery powered momentary switch is driving me round the twist.

 

Any ideas?

To perform toggle action you need to use post method :

POST https://hc-IP/api/devices/92/action/toggle

where payload: args={92,turnOn}

thanks for the reply

yep i'm doing a POST, running curl through a shell script on a pi zero that take args $1,$2 as device and action. Driven by a simple php page that you can shoot a url at from the most basic device without doing authentication as the pi injects that.

 

I've tired with your payload suggestion

curl -g -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"$1","turnOn"}' -X POST http://xxx:[email protected]/api/devices/$1/action/$2

works with both turnOn and turnOff as before

original I had also worked with both

curl -g -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d {} -X POST http://xxx:[email protected]/api/devices/$1/action/$2

 

hard code or command line toggle and no joy

 

tried all of this on the api forms page fib-ip/docs on the POST call action option and whilst turnOn/turnOff work there as well toggle does nothing.

I'm using a standard fibaro switch 2... perplexed...

I don't know how to explain that, but it didn't work for me till I have switched HC3 to https  and then back to http.

Play with this and see if it works... let me know

I'm on a HC2 so cant turn https on / off.

On inspecting the device object via /docs I get :

Please login or register to see this code.

so I do wonder if toggle is 'actually' supported on a Fibaro (Double) Swtich 2, In the end I created a new endpoint to fire a scene that checks the device value and then sets it to the opposite.  Not very pretty but it works...

 

For anyone that cares the entire sequence of :

 

rf433 switch -> sonoff bridge module -> pi zero php webpage -> curl -> fibaro scene -> toggle lights.... executes in about 1/2 second

so

I can place a normal wall switch (rf433 module is in the back box) in a location where its not easy to get either (a) a switch line in or  (b) even power for that matter and still control a set of lights.

Oops... HC2? since you've posted this in Home Center 3 section I thought we're dealing with HC3 (QuickApp), my bad.

There is no toggle command for fibaro switch 2. The meaning of toggle switch in user manual, that you have toggle option to control via switch connections. (S1/S2). This is not an action command.
