Posting external data using curl to QuickApp method

[CrAzY 0]

Hello,

 

Can anybody advice how to post using external curl data (json table) to custom QuickApp method defined n QuickApp device?

 

I've created device having custom method that is going to be triggered from outside by external system.

 

For test purposes created method shows posted data:

 

function QuickApp:updatecrazy(sentdata)

 

    self:debug("updatecrazy Invoked")

    self.debug("sentdata: "..sentdata) 

    self.debug("tostring(sentdata): "..tostring(sentdata)")

 

end

 

Trying to POST data from outside function is triggered but data is nil, regardless of posted data json (with "args" or without).

 

Examples of curl and debug output:

 

#1

curl -X POST "https://FIBARO_HC3_ADDRESS/api/devices/489/action/updatecrazy" -H  "accept: */*" -H  "Content-Type: application/json" -H  "X-Fibaro-Version: 2" -H  "Accept-language: en" -H  "Authorization: Basic  password==" -d "{\"args\":[\"{arg1_ss:1}\",\"{arg2_ss:1}\"],\"delay\":0}" -k

It seems trigger onAction gets data only when it is posted in format having "args" like e.g.:

{

"args":

[{"sensor1":0,"sensor2":0,"sensor3":0,"sensor4":0}]

}

 

but sentdata variable is nill.

 

Should I post something different using curl or should I read another data (not sentdata variable) in order to access posted values?

 

Any help would be appreciated,

Regards

Mike

Sorry all. My fault.

 

self.debug instead of self:debug did the mess with my testing.

 

For any who will have to manage posting do QuickApp from external sources - variable(s) value(s) shall be posted as an "args" json table, e.g.:

 

{

"args": [

      {"sensor1":0,"sensor2":0,"sensor3":0,"sensor4":0}

   ]

}

 

or

 

{
"args": [
      {"sensor1":0,"sensor2":0,"sensor3":0,"sensor4":0}
   ],
   "delay": 0
}
