urllib2.urlopen Url based upon Indigo Variable

Thanks to this forum I have been re-using and creating bits of Python Code to do various things.

For the next step in controling my Daikin Airco I want to create a Url for the urllib2.urlopen Python code.


Below is the action to put the airco on. I want to control the "f_rate" based upon an Indigo Variable. It could be 7 or A.

import urllib2
urllib2.urlopen("http://192.168.X.XX/aircon/set_control_info?pow=1&mode=4&stemp=21&shum=0&f_rate=A&f_dir=0")


==============================================================
import urllib2
urllib2.urlopen("http://192.168.X.XX/aircon/set_control_info?pow=1&mode=4&stemp=21&shum=0&f_rate=<INDIGO VARABLE>&f_dir=0")

How can I create this via python code

First, I recommend using the requests library over the urllib2 library.

Code: Select all

import requests

f_rate = indigo.variables[12345678].value # "f_rate"

url = "http://192.168.X.XX/aircon/set_control_info?pow=1&mode=4&stemp=21&shum=0&f_rate=" + f_rate + "&f_dir=0"
requests.get(url)

@FlyingDiver forgot to add .value to the variable reference. I fixed it in-line in his script.

Oh, yeah. I don't use variables in scripts much.
