help needed with httpd plugin

Hello, I need some help to understand what I am doing not correct by using the httpd plugin.
I have installed the httpd including configured a variable httpd_foo.
When I use a browser to sent the following link: http://marcel:1234@192.168.1.50:5555/setvar?foo=bar

The variable is not updated, the following logging is generated

Code: Select all

Please advice what I am missing here, thx in advance

My bad. I forgot that changed between the HTTP and HTTP 2 plugins. "setvar" is a misnomer, as it actually sets the values of the custom state in the HTTP2 device, not an Indigo variable. So look at the custom states for that device, and use that to trigger your actions.

That also reminds me I need to update the plugin for Python3, so it doesn't break with the next Indigo release.

Great,
Thx its working perfect.

One additional question,
How is it possible to reset the "custom device" status to a default value after a certain time.
This by an timed trigger and modify the custom device status, but how?
Or via a http:// , but I don't see a solution to arrange this via a trigger, without using a script.

thx in advance

No, there's no provision for changing the states except by a webhook call of some kind. What's your use case for that? Maybe I can suggest an alternative.

Usages: Foscam VM1 doorbell generates a web hook, which is now changing the status in the httpd attribute => working fine
Unfortunately when its come in rest, it will not update the status => this must be done via Indigodomo.

Current status:
Based on a trigger-timer I sent via python script:
import requests
result = requests.get('http://marcel:1234@192.168.1.50:5555/setvar?doorbell=off') => working fine

The issue I have now, that every time a new url is loaded in a new safari tab. Looking for a solution to close safari, which seems very difficult

When you see another solution I am more then open for improvements.

So what you're saying is that the doorbell sends a webhook when the button is pressed, but never sends any kind of timeout webhook which could reset the variable?

In that case, enable the timestamp option in the httpd device, and trigger on any change to the timestamp state instead of the doorbell state. And use a condition on the trigger to verify that the doorbell state is correct. Doing it that way eliminates the need for clearing the doorbell state.

perfect, thx that will help.

Hello,

The plug-in is working fine with a browser, although when I log in for the first time a pop-screen request userid-password although I have included this in the link (http://marcel:1234@192.168.1.50:5555/setvar?doorbell=on). => also without direct login is see in the log that an attempt is performed.
I have configured a Foscam VD1 with this link, which is not picked up by the web hook in Indigodomo. Support from Foscam has come to the conclusion that the URL is not accepted by Indigodomo-webhook. => in the log totally nothing is visible.

On the request how Foscam has tested there functionality the provided me with the following information:
After discussing, we think that your testing environment is blocking the request of our camera.
We suggest you to install Domoticz or make a webcall using ifttt.com to test our camera alarm linkage.
Using Domoticz or making a webcall using ifttt.com is the suggestion.
Foscam R&D team used the HFS.exe to set http server to test our camera alarm linkage feature. Attached is their test.
See attachment log for the Foscams VD1 call.

Do you have suggestions, more then willing to sent you the VD1 so you can make it work.

Thx in advance

Do this command in a Terminal window and paste the output.

Code: Select all

curl -v "http://marcel:1234@192.168.1.50:5555/setvar?doorbell=on"


Also, make sure you have debug logging on in the plugin when you do these tests.

Well, that tells me the plugin is working, since when you send that webhook using Terminal it all works. So the problem is that something is blocking the Foscam device.

The Foscam is Wifi, right? Is it on your main Wifi network or a Guest or IoT network?
