'Remote control'

Hi there,

I've read that it's possible to trigger scenes or values etc from remote control such as below, but it returns this error.

http://192.168.0.10/scada-remote/?m=json&r=grp&fn=write&alias=0/56/1&value=255
returns : Not supported parameter "r" (request)

Does anyone know if there is a fix/work around for this? I'd love to be able to trigger our lights via other equipment as well such as companion!

Cheers.

 

Check this post for a work around,

Hey mate,

Thanks for your reply. I've tried the script you put in that other thread and I'm not getting anywhere with it. Am I doing something wrong?

Code:

dst = '/www/user/C_bus.lp'
if not io.exists(dst) then
  io.writefile(dst, [[<?
  require('socket.url')
  require('cbuslogic')
  rx = socket.url.unescape(getvar('cmd'))  s = string.split(rx, ',')
  SetCBusLevel(s[1], s[2], s[3], s[4], s[5])
  grptag = GetCBusGroupTag(s[1], s[2], s[3])
  print('Sent C bus command to : ' ..'Network '.. s[1]..' Application '.. s[2]..' Group '.. s[3]..' '.. '('..grptag..') To level ' ..s[4]..' Ramp Rate '..s[5])
   ?>]])
end

script.disable(_Remote)

I get this error when using the html http://172.16.1.5/user/C_bus.lp?cmd=0,56,4,255,0 you put in the reply:

Error in /www/user/C_bus.lp at line 4: unfinished string near '')'

 

this line didn’t format correctly swap it out

rx = socket.url.unescape(getvar('cmd
Needs ‘)) after cmd

you will need to also change a couple of other things to get this to work,

this script needs to run once to make the file, if the file already exists in your case it will, you will need to comment out the line
if not io.exists(dst) then And also the end at the bottom

also replace the last line with
script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

make sure to back up before running the script.

 

Sorry I forgot to add that into the code I quoted - that was the first thing I tried. Still get the exact same error unfortunately.

 

Did you comment out the
if not io.exists(dst) then and the end at the bottom?

After you changed the code and ran the script again,
It won’t update the changes if the above line and end is not commented out

 

The Remote API documentation (one pager - ok half pager) is available to ecoxperts, I use it in my CTC Wiser app to send a command on start up, and also in the Today widget.

 

Sent C bus command to : Network 0 Application 56 Group 4 (D2-GA03 Row 3) To level 255 Ramp Rate 10

Works mate!! Thanks a bunch!!
