http send command or rule

[ingoiot]

hi,

i tried to send a http command to a Smartplug to switch it on and off with an app.
http://192.168.178.33/control?cmd=GPIO,14,0 works to switch the relais,
but i also want to swicht a status led. can i send 2 commands in one request?

i already have a rule that switches both relais and led with a physical button. can i trigger it per http?

Code: Select all

on Button#state do
  if [Relais#state]=0
    gpio,14,1
    gpio,13,0
  else
    gpio,14,0
    gpio,13,1
  endif
endon

i tried http://192.168.178.33/control?cmd=event,%20Button=1
but it doesnt work. the esp receives the message but doesnt react.

Code: Select all

111809: HTTP: event, Button=1
111861: EVENT:  Button=1

A typical solution would be like this:

Code: Select all

on Button#state do
  if [Relais#state]=0
    event,RelayOn
  else
    event,RelayOff
  endif
endon

On RelayOn do
  gpio,14,1
  gpio,13,0
endon

On RelayOff do
  gpio,14,0
  gpio,13,1
endon

The http command to turn on your Relay & LED would be:

Code: Select all

http://IP_ADDRESS/control?cmd=event,RelayOn

tnx,

seems to work.

strangely it looks like if i`m triggering the event through the app the esp react relatively fast,
through the webbrowser it seems to slow down the esp quite a bit.

What do you mean by "the app" ?

[ingoiot]

i`m using an app to send the http request HTTP Request Shortcuts

when i send the command with this app, it switches pretty quick,
if i use a browser it reacts pretty slow.
(maybe the browser keeps state and blocks up the esp? dont know)

If you surf in to the unit the unit has to do a ton more compared to when you just send a simple http request.

PS. you're use of that app suggests to me that you have the unit exposed to the internet?

no, i dont think so.
at least it have only entered a local ip..

[grovkillen]

Aha, so it's only working when at home or connected through VPN?

[ingoiot]

yes, thats enough for me for the moment.

maybe i try to get the temperature via http - dont know if that would work.

[ingoiot]

not sure if this fits this thread or if i should open a new one..
but when i try to send the command through the esp peer network,
it does not work.

sending esp rule:

Code: Select all

On ds18b20#Temperature Do
 If [ds18b20#Temperature]>-15
 sendTo,1,RelayOn
EndOn

gives

Code: Select all

345820: Command: sendto
360794: DS   : Temperature: 17.50 (xx-2-0-x-9a-xx-1-zz)
360798: EVENT: ds18b20#Temperature=17.50
360814: ACT  : sendTo,1,RelayOn
360821: Command: sendto

receiving esp rule as above

Code: Select all

on Button#state do
  if [Relais#state]=0
    event,RelayOn
  else
    event,RelayOff
  endif
endon

On RelayOn do
  gpio,14,1
  gpio,13,0
endon

On RelayOff do
  gpio,14,0
  gpio,13,1
endon

log:

Code: Select all

340900: Command: relayon
340900: Command unknown: 'relayon'
355892: Command: relayon
355892: Command unknown: 'relayon'

You forgot to use the command event.

Code: Select all

sendTo,1,Event,RelayOn
