Re: need help getting started

No, that looks ok.

Can we check REST is working from the iPhone browser?

You will need to add USERNAME : PASSWORD to the URL, so http://user : pass@10.#.#.#:8176etc

Remove the spaces either side of the colon.

Re: need help getting started

Indigo log shows this:

Nov 29, 2015, 10:28:36 AM
WebServer request to set device "Family Room" brightness from 10.0.1.134
Error x10 extended dim commands are not currently compatible with this interface
Sent (offline) "Family Room" extended dim to 31




My interface is a PowerLinc 2413U.

I didn't get any log entries when I tried it with Home Remote.

Re: need help getting started

Right, we'll worry about X10 later.

So, you're on the latest available Home Control app?

You remove "user : pass@" from the URL, change %20's back to spaces, go to Post/Put, hit Post, hit User : Pass, type your user : pass into the box, and hit update/OK a few times?

Re: need help getting started

I started from scratch in Home Remote and now it's working. Thanks again!

Is there a different brightness command I should use?

Re: need help getting started

I suspect that may be a problem with the REST API being out of date, and won't be sorted for a while if at all.

Can you instead create an action group in Indigo, then call the action from Home Remote?

Re: need help getting started

Not sure if this is the right syntax but I created a new command in Home Remote-
Http://
10.0.1.107:8176/actions/family room 30
With post and user:password


Here's what the log showed when I tried it with an action group

Nov 29, 2015, 11:24:42 AM
WebServer access denied "http://10.0.1.107:8176/actions/family room 30" from *** @ 10.0.1.134
WebServer 405 Method Not Allowed "http://10.0.1.107:8176/actions/family room 30" from 10.0.1.134

Re: need help getting started

Have you got the _method=execute bit there?

See my last two examples on the thread linked above.

Sorry-forgot that part. Now it works and I just need to sort out the dimming. Even with an action group I get the same problem. I've tried it a few different ways in the action group and get the same error message about extended dim commands.

Re: need help getting started

Does the device dim ok from Indigo's device view?

Howartp, thanks for all your assistance here. Once the wiki is up and running I'll transfer this information in to it.
