Indigo Domotics

I have installed Eric Hodel's V1.0.0 Powerview plugin but it doesn't seem to call the API in the hub from the "activateScene" command in powerview.py.
I see the correct scene ID from the debugLog statement in python.py but it seems the call is never made.

In Safari, I can issue the API scenes commands and they work fine.


When I start the plugin, I get the following errors. Not sure if these are relevant to this issue.

All the other setup/config features work as expected.

All shade functions work perfectly through the Powerview App and Siri

Never Mind. I figured out the issue. There is a case sensitivity in the API for scene ID.
sceneid should be sceneId.


Instead of:
def activateScene(self, hubHostname, sceneId):
activateSceneUrl = \
'http://%s/api/scenes?sceneid=%s' % (hubHostname, sceneId)

self.__GET(activateSceneUrl)

It should be:
def activateScene(self, hubHostname, sceneId):
activateSceneUrl = \
'http://%s/api/scenes?sceneId=%s' % (hubHostname, sceneId)

self.__GET(activateSceneUrl)


Works now.
I'm guessing the SW changed somewhere in the hub

Hi Allan,
How did you resolve the issue? I'm experiencing the same issue. Did you modify the code?
Thanks, Ron

Made the change in the plugin code. I could only find a single instance, but I still have the same issue. Is it still working for you?

Thanks @chase, Appreciate the fix!

I believe that the PowerView plugin in the Indigo Plugin Store is an old version/link (2017). This version will not activate scenes. The latest version on GitHub (2018) works. Capitalization issue.

Unfortunately, the developer never created a Github release for any updates. The only one there is from 12/2017 which is what's in the store. He'll need to create a new release in Github then update it in the store for the store to automatically pick up the later version.
