Execute scripts in HA

Is it possible to run scripts that are in Home Assistant with this plugin? I can see that I can add the script as a generic device, and if I then create an action group I can specify that device and set a 'Genetic Device Command' but even if I leave it blank and execute it I get this error:

Code: Select all

   Home Assistant Agent Error      Error in plugin execution ExecuteAction:

  File "plugin.py", line 1272, in send_generic_command

(I get it even if I try to populate it, although tbh I'm not entirely sure what would need to go into it).

I don't need to pull any data back from HA with the script, all it'll do is set whether a cat is marked as inside or outside using the Sure Petcare Plugin which has a service call option to set their location manually (eg if they've come in via the front door rather than via the catflap)

I wouldn't do it that way. I have no idea what a script entity looks like or how it behaves. I would just write a Python script that uses an HTTP request to HA to run the script. Something like:

Change ABCDEFGHI to the HA Auth Token you're using for the plugin.
Change MYURL to the hostname/port for the HA server.
Change my.script to the script entity.

NOT TESTED

Code: Select all

from requests import post

headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ABCDEFGHI',
    'content-type': 'application/json',
}

url = 'https://MYURL/api/states/my.script'
data = {
    "state": "office"
}

response = post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
indigo.server.log(response.text)


Oh thanks, that would make a lot more sense and I can just setup individual action groups for that.

Just tried that, but it seems to be deleting the script, then replacing it with a new one.. which is weird? And also doesn't actually run.

Also what does the data = { "state": "office"} element do?

The "data = " line is in case your script takes parameters (arguments). I just grabbed that example from the internet.

This is not a plugin issue. This is not functionality that the plugin will ever support.

If you need help running scripts on your HA server, I recommend the HA forums.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
