Update device parameters in the REST API

[Lenfors 0]

Hello!

 

I read all my units from my HC3 with the command http://<username>:<password>@192.168.70.31/api/devices

In the response I get all the parametes for the units.

Now I want to change parameters in the units, what is the syntax for this?

Please give an example if I want to update parameter 28 on UnitId 123 to value 15.

 

Best regards, Mikael

I have used this code to change parameters: 

 

fibaro.call(deviceID, "setConfiguration", parameter, size, value)

Ok, your call is from LUA, but how is the call from the REST API?

 

It should be something like: http://<username>:<password>@192.168.70.31/api/ .....

 

Best regards, Mikael

Check Swagger on your HC3 for the API documentation:

https://hc3-ipaddres/swagger/

 

I think you need this:

PUT devices/modifyDevice

Yes, I read the documentation but I dont understand it!

 

If I could only get an example it would be so much easier

 

When  I use Google Chrome I can enter  http://<username>:<password>@192.168.70.31/api/devices  in the URL to get a JSON response whit all my device info.

 

What should I enter to set a a parameter on a unit?

 

Best regadrs, Mikael

First, give us some more information. And what do you want to accomplish...

 

Do you want to change the device from the HC3 itself? With a scene/QA, or a third party service like Node-RED?

 

Please read some information about how the REST API works, based on the HC3 I wrote a blog about the REST API, how it works.

 

To answer your question, you can't do a POST or PUT command in the browser URL bar. You have to use some software like Node-RED, PowerShell, curl, etc... (Google them).
