I have a script which I wrote on Lua, that worked to get the prices and timestamps, but it won't work on Fibaro HC2.

The output I get in Lua:

Is it possible to request an API using an URL to get prices and timestamps from web-API? If so then how can I request them? I am new to Fibaro and quite overwhelmed with all of this.

You can't use the 'require' function to include another Lua module (another file with code)

    Alright, Is there another way to get the timestamps and prices than requesting Lua modules then?

    Probably, do you have the URL's and http spec you need request the data?

    Can you post your code?

    The URL yes, HTTP spec not sure.
    Code from Lua:

    This prints out the URL that I want to use to get prices and timestamps.

    So, the result will be something like below - what fields are you interested in?

    Secondly, what are you doing with the result? The 'success' handler in the code is asynchronous so it should contain the code that does something with the result  - ex displays it in  a label or store it in a global variable.

    I am interested in getting only the prices and timestamps, and what I am trying to do is make a boiler and heater to start when the prices are low, and stop when the prices are high again. Thank you for helping me this far atleast.

    Ok, I am not that good with Lua, so I am confused. Exactly what am I supposed to print to see all the JSON values? If I print the code you gave me, it returns nothing. If I print:

    Am I missing something? Or am I not supposed to do it in Scenes?

    Well, the data returned is grouped into 4 categories. "ee", "fi", "lv","lt" and I don't know what they mean.

    Within each category there are timestamps and prices for the period requested.

     

    This code will call the priceHandler function with the lowest price and timestamp for the "ee" category. Here it just prints it out but it could do something else.

    The getPrices function could have additional parameters to accept other time intervals...

    So you only want to print the values out?

    Not find the lowest price and start the washing machine at that time?

    Maybe you can also get some inspiration from post about the Tibber quickapp. Looks like somewhat the same principle, variable prices for energy and trying to use energy at the lowest price. In the Tibber quickapp we tried to get as much information to make those choices.
