[ANSWERED]: How to create button that sends a HTTP command?

I'm trying to trigger my VERA lite using HTTP.

What's the easiest way to trigger a command like this when I press a button on my control page?
http://x.x.x.x.x:49451/data_request?id= ... d=VolumeUp

Curl...?

Here is a thread that discusses various HTTP POST techniques. Some of those are probably overkill if you just need a HTTP GET request sent, but there are still some good code snippets in there.

how can i send a http command in a action group or in a schedule?

Hi mortenkols -

Can you be a bit more specific with what you want to do? Do you want to send an Indigo HTTP command or a more general one? Here is a method to execute a more straightforward Python method:

Code: Select all

import urllib2

url = 'http://www.google.com'
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
html = response.read()

indigo.server.log(html)

Place this script as an embedded script in your Action (for example, the Actions tab of the Schedule) and replace the url with your target.

import urllib2

url = 'http://192.168.17.28:3480/data_request?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=1'

FYI, you can use the Vera Bridge plugin to run scenes.

I Know. but its unstable. sometimes its report error in the log that it can't find the scene I'm trying to run. better to run scenes with http command.
