SendToHTTP result OK ?

#1 Post by mackowiakp » 03 Sep 2019, 09:34

Is it possible in rule to obtain result of SendTo HTTP command? I mean was it sent and received by server or not.

Not currently, but I guess having the 20 or 40x value could be useful. Please elaborate on the use case and then we might open an feature request on GitHub.

So the only solution is to SendToHttp something to dummy sensor in Domoticz and then, using for example LUA script, send then back something from Domoticz to dummy sensor in easyESP. Little complicated - but works.

Please explain more of the use case. It's not something we personally need so you need to fill in the missing pieces for us.

Imagine such situation. I have Domoticz on RPi. RPi is equipped with UPS, on which RPi can work at least for 4 days. nodeMCU do not have UPS. In addition - as you know - nodeMCU reset themselves from time to time, and even hang. I wrote the rules that reboot nodeMCU after 15 minutes if they hang. Either way, after losing power or after "hanging", I need to restore, for example, the state of the relays or the contents of the displays. They sometimes display a value from a sensor that is connected to a completely different nodeMCU or RPi itself. Additionally, the state of the relays for example, may have changed during a power outage, according to the schedule recorded in Domoticz. Therefore, during boot nodeMCU I send SendToHttp from nodeMCU to Domoticz, who "presses" the dummy button in Domoticz. This, in turn, launches the LUA script in Domoticz, which in turn sends to the nodeMCU set of the parameter values ​​downloaded from the Domoticz database, which should have the nodeMCU at that time and writes them to the user variables. It's just that I don't know if, for example, the "zero" values ​​themselves are correct or their zero value is due to the fact that they have not been transmitted from Domoticz to nodeMCU. So somehow you need to check that the transmission took place. If I cannot do this at the protocol level, I use workaround. First, I reset one user variable (semaphore), send SendToHTTP to Domoticz, the LUA script sends data and sets - previously zeroed - user variable to 1. This only confirms that I can trust the downloaded data. Well, only that it should happen at the protocol level and not in the rule.
