JSON multiple devices

#1 Post by Dick60 » 27 Sep 2019, 20:08

I want to execute this script http://ip:port/json.htm?type=command&param=clearlightlog&idx=<idx> using a button in domoticz. Pushing the "ON" it must execute this script for multiple devices. It works for one already (http://ip:port/json.htm?type=command&param=clearlightlog&idx=200) but now i want to execute it also for IDX 24 . I can I get that working?

Temporary solution for me is a selector switch to start the "
http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=com ... log&idx=29"
for each individual idx. Again has somebody any clue how to hget these individual JSON entries
"http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=com ... log&idx=29"
in one LUA script?

is this the right direction to solve this problem:

--log cleanup
If (devicechanged['logSwitch']== "On") then

os.execute('curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=com ... log&idx=20" &')


end
return commandArray


It does not work but still trying to find a solution.

now I tried to place them in RULES of my esp like this

On clean_log#state do
[GPIO12#State] = 1
SendToHTTP 127.0.0.1,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=clearlightlog&idx=29
endon

But still no luck.
Any advise is welcome!

Plus, have you considered using MQTT? HTTP is one to one. MQTT is ideal for this scenario with multiple listeners to an event.

Thanks for the reply and yes I have already read the Rules documentation several time but, this evening again. Perhaps you are right to start with MQTT. I must find a good starting point for MQQT in combi with ESP. Will put some effort in it the upcoming week.
About the rules, this I what I have for now

On clean_logs#state=1 do
SendToHTTP 127.0.0.1,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=clearlightlog&idx=29
endon

and the HTTP is send out by the ESP, the ipx is correct and the name of the button as well. If I launch this rule, I see in Domoticz no errors but nothing happens. Because with this JSON command, a logfile need to be cleaned.
Any idea?

Does the URL work like you expect when executed from the browser?

Good point. tested and Result=OK.
Also mentioned that in Domoticz an switch is working if turned on using
http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=com ... log&idx=29

But in a rule it does not work (adjusted to the Rules requirements)

Can you als test if it is working when calling it from a http controller?
If so, then it may be another example of the sendtohttp which needs to wait for a reply/acknowledgement.
