Dreambox

[Vaillant]

Hello,

I recently got a Dreambox and I would like to control it using Indigo.

At the moment I use CURL to send a http-request. Now i would like to put the return answer from Dreambox in a variable in Indigo. I found one post with the same sort of question but sadly with no response.

Could someone help me with how to do this in Applescript or Python? I know there are some references to NOAA Weather Script as an example for how to do this. But it is to complex for me.

So for example:

Request:
http://dreambox/web/vol

Result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<e2volume>
<e2result>True</e2result>
<e2resulttext>state</e2resulttext>
<e2current>5</e2current>
<e2ismuted>False</e2ismuted>
</e2volume>

Is there a simple scrip I can use?
Any help on this is appreciated.

Greetings,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Take a look at the source for both the NOAA Weather and WeatherSnoop plugins. They both get XML from an IP and parse it.
