Get results from URL about http-adapter HOT 16 CLOSED

Currently, it's only possible to use the HTTP requests as an action.
If I understand you correctly you want to use the result of the request as a property?

from http-adapter.

So thanks for the work bow

I'm always happy if I can help :)

The latest idea I had in mind was my reMarkable

I wasn't aware that you can control it wirelessly.
Sounds pretty cool!

I believe JSON, string, float and int should cover most cases.

I added support for primitive types yesterday.
JSON needs some additional work as I need to extract the values somehow.

As soon as the PR is merged you can test the new update.

Which just happened 😬

Because a picture is worth 1000 words :D

thanks for reply. yes I want to reading the result of the request.

from http-adapter.

Sorry, I missed your response.

That's not possible with the current implementation.
Actions don't have a result.
I think I could expose an HTTP endpoint as a device property, but that would be limited to primitive types like string or number.
You would need to specify which value you would like to use.
Are you still interested in this?

from http-adapter.

Hi, I'm interested in this. I'd like to show the properties of a device in addition to actions.
It could be either as result of an action, e.g. read sensor value, but ideally would follow the Thing model and displayed without user input.

PS: Thanks for the plugin by the way, I was able to connect and control my Roomba with it, cf https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1322236808600735744

Hi @Utopiah,

I already did some testing with simple types but I never pushed it.
What type of responses do you have?
Nice tweets btw 😬

from http-adapter.

Thanks @tim-hellhake, there would be no nice tweets without this amazing add-on! So thanks for the work 🙇

The latest idea I had in mind was my reMarkable for its battery level (since I stuck it on my fridge) in order to have rules related to notifications or my scale to... well maybe lock the fridge 😉

For those two I either rely on a REST API (e.g. koalazak/rest980) or I setup a small express server when there is nothing (e.g. reMarkable) so I usually have control but I believe JSON, string, float and int should cover most cases.

I'll add support for JSON soon.

from http-adapter.

I added an option to specify device capabilities (https://iot.mozilla.org/schemas).
If you add the MultiLevelSensor capability to the device and the LevelProperty type to the battery property, you should be able to see the battery level in the things view.

Super!

from http-adapter.

One thing is bothering me.
The battery should be read-only.
I need to add a new config option for that.

from http-adapter.

After the next update, the battery property should look a bit different.
You also set the unit in the settings for % now.

from http-adapter.

If you select the right capability for the device, you should see the value instead of THING.
Just click on edit and select the Multi Level Sensor.

@Utopiah I'm closing this now.
If you have any problems just open a new PR :)
