Indigo Domotics

Dave,

Thank you so much for this plugin its AWESOME.

I'm hitting a website where I pass in my user name and password and it returns a session key.
I have gotten the session key into an indigo variable and now I need to hit a second webpage that needs me to pass in that session key.
How do I insert the indigo variable (session key) in the Ghost URL.

Thanks

Hi Philip

%%v:1234567%%

If Dave has enabled variable substitution, put that in your URL, changing the 1234567 for your variable ID.

I don't recall if substitutions work the way that Peter has described in this instance--I'd have to surf the code to find out. However, if you look at this wiki page in the section "Enable Substitutions", you'll find instructions on how to use the preferred method.

Thanks for the kind words about the plugin. It was a group effort.

Thank you for the suggestion when I went into implement your suggestion I realized that I completely missed a checkbox in the device ‘enable substitution’ that allows you to use variables all good thank you!

I've just checked the latest version of code which I have downloaded on my dev machine (which is NOT current by any means) and we definitely didn't have %% substitution in that code.

Thanks Peter.

Cheers.

David,

***** I'm getting an error that says the returned data is not valid json. can you tell whats not valid ?

Thanks

The JSON you’ve pasted is valid according to JSONLint.com

I wonder if the [] in the URL are throwing the handling and need encoding, but I’m not at my desk with the code right now.

Hi Philip - sorry that this is proving a bit challenging. As you can imagine, coding for every possible JSON and XML data source is a tad tricky.

These errors usually crop up when there is a JSON node name that doesn't translate smoothly into a python dictionary key name that Indigo will accept. We have a list of characters that we overcome which is why Peter is suggesting that as a possible cause. Another possible cause is that the first-level data structure in the JSON you posted is converted to a python list rather than a dictionary, although it would surprise me that this would be the first time that such a thing would crop up. It would be helpful if you could post any Indigo log messages and plugin log messages in a code block so that BBCode doesn't reformat them.

I don't have time to look into this today unfortunately, but I will get on it as soon as I can.

I suspect the root issue is actually the error coming from curl - the JSON error is just because curl didn't complete successfully. At least that's my guess. I don't see anything in the JSON that looks wrong/bad.

The cCurl docs indicate that an error code 3 is a malformed URL.

Jay is correct curl doesn't like the URL.
Thank You Jay.

The URL contains [ and ]. Curl doesn't like brackets.
I ran it in curl and its complaining about globbing.

I see there is a curl option

-g/--globoff
This option switches off the "URL globbing parser". When you set this option, you can
specify URLs that contain the letters {}[] without having them being interpreted by curl
itself. Note that these letters are not normal legal URL contents but they should be
encoded according to the URI standard.

I tested and it works. But I think this option would need to be added to the plugin.
Dave would you be able to add this option to the plugin ?

Thanks

Philip

Out of interest, does the url work if you encode them?

Thanks to all for sleuthing this while I was away. Sounds like you all found a great solution. This seems like something that could be easily added to the plugin--I'll take a look at this soon. We put in a 12 hour day today on some personal business, and there's not a lot of functioning brain cells to spare at the moment.

Peter

Encoding worked. Great suggestion!
I'd still like to see the option in the plugin if possible.

Thanks

Philip

It's my intention to roll this into the plugin. It will take me a while as I'm crazy swamped IRL.

Watch this channel for further developments on the update to the plugin.
