Let's Control It

Hi All,

What is the maximum length of the argument string to SendtoHTTP and is there a way to handle larger strings?

I'm finding that my sensor isn't sending data to my Vera controller and I've tried a number of approaches with no success. Finally, in one run I spotted something flash by in the log, 'argv size exceeded', which I think might be relevant.

The commands look like this (this is the longest of them, which is not working):

On DS18A#Temperature
SendtoHTTP 192.168.8.200,80,/port_3480/data_request?id=variableset&DeviceNum=145&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1&Variable=CurrentTemperature&Value=[DS18A#Temperature]
endon

Yes, Vera really does need all that cr*p to make it stick a value into a variable! If only they'd support something useful like MQTT

Any ideas how I can get this one working? Some of my sensors work ok with Vera, so I suspect that the string above is just marginally over the length limit, whatever that limit is (not documented?).

Thanks!

Jeff

Could be the limit currently is 80 bytes, since that's some kind of default length for all kind of parameters in the parse functions.

I guess it should be something larger.

Oh! 80 would definitely be rather small for HTTP requests. Should I raise an issue on github to request a larger value?

I am working on the settings to make it clear what impact changes will have.
You can add an issue (if there isn't one already).
I agree it may be a little small for http requests.
It is also possible a line in rules may have a rather short limit.
