http request confusion

[MaverickLu 0]

I am trying to send 2 http request to my motioneye server for starting and stopping (after 60 seconds) video recording, the corresponding url is at follows:

 

Start -> http://172.16.10.164:7999/1/config/set?emulate_motion=on

Stop -> http://172.16.10.164:7999/1/config/set?emulate_motion=off

 

Above URL works on browser, and I have a scene to do this as below

 

Please login or register to see this code.

I comment out the line start from local counter = 0, meaning that only do the emulate_motion = on part, the scene works, video captured, saw the debug message (Record Maindoor)

If I run the whole scene, debug window shows the counter immediately.  It looks to me that the upper part of the code (start recording) does not run, and of course the viedo is not captured

 

Anyone can help debug the code above? I am still lua newbie, thx! Btw I am on HC2 still.

Unfortunately you can't do fibaro:sleep while executing a net.HTTPClient:request(...), as the sleep will prevent the http request to run "in the background".

You could do a sleep after your success handler is called, or as I have done in this case call a "stop recording" function after 90s with the setTImeout function.
