Grabbing Hue Bridge Information

[Mateo 2]

Hello Community

 

I looking for some good advises or new ideas regarding an issue I'm facing.

I'm trying to collect all information from the hue Bidge (Groups, Scenes, Lights) and store it into a global variable to have an easiest and fastest access to some information from other scenes or QA.

 

For this i've build a targetted json table as:

hueDetails = { fibaroRoomName = { groups = {all groups details}, lights = {all lights details}, scenes = {all scenes details}

 

This works pretty fine at one exception

When trying to get lights details from the bridge, i'm using a "for k,v in pairs ()" approach that takes all lights id one by one and http request to the bridge all lights details to be stored.

But i do have 53 lights and the 53 requests looks being sent all at the same time, resulting in a "Connection reset by peer" that potentially means an overflow (i guess).

 

My question is the following, how can i introduce in my "for k,v ...." sequence the idea to iterate to next k value only after a defined timelaps ? 

I've tried fibaro.sleep or setTimeout but does't work. It waits the indicated timelaps and then send all at once...

 

HAs someone any idea of how dealing with this?

all suggestions and ideas welcome... blocked on this for a such a long time

 

thanks 

take care
