HTTP call from LUA to retrieve information
Dear experts,
I'm trying to do an HTTP call from LUA, to retrieve the external IP address. However, it is obvious that I need to wait for the response, but have not been able to find out exactly where to do this. Here is my code:
function myPublicIP(str)
fibaro:debug("A")
str = "https://api.ipify.org/?format=json"
local http = net.HTTPClient()
fibaro:debug("B")
http:request(str, {
success = function(status)
fibaro:debu
Your myPublicIP can't return the value. When your scene starts it runs in a "main process". The http request creates a new process and will call your success/error functions in that process.
It look like this (I have added a debug("H") last in the scene)

Normally when we think about process we imagine them running in parallell. However Lua have co-operative processes, or as they are called "coroutines".
Note that coroutines/processes
