API for categories

[Kage 36]

I tryied now for 2 days en read the whole internet but with no luck.

 

So the question is

how get i;

result = api.get("/devices?{properties={categories='[\"lights\",\"security\"]'}},")

tryied everything from properties to property with { en whitout {

 

please help

Generally there is no easy way to filter devices from API when property is an array or an object, but - as example:

Method POST /devices/filters
Body

This will response with devices data (name, id and categories property) where categories are set to "lights" and "security". 

Of course you can always pull whole /api/devices and parse it yourself in the code.

I think you can parse it faster but this is a start:

If you want to get only the lights:

@JoepThx for the piece. Also to jgab

 

for now i use ;

local result=fibaro.getDevicesID({roomID=rId,properties={categories='[\"lights\"]'}})

but i try two things. first is create a script with zero ID specific and only specific categories or more. zo when you put a light into a room it automatically sees by the script, no editing needed.

trying to see the differents between api and get. This in cpu clock and cpu consumption. 

 

if someone can explain woud be nice 😃
