sending http command to VeraLite in iviewer

[FastEddy]

I want to create several buttons in guidesigner to turn a zwave light on and off and a slider to dim it up or down. I have the veralite gateway to communicate to the zwave devices already working using the delivered Micasaverde UI (web interface). I just want the same functionality inside my iviewer project. These are the http commands to veralite to turn on or off a light.

 

http://192.168.0.103:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=21&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1

http://192.168.0.103:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=21&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0

 

This one works to dim the light

 

http://192.168.0.103:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=21&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1&action=SetLoadLevelTarget&newLoadlevelTarget=10

 

These all work in safari on the Ipad but I don't know how to make in work in iviewer. Sorry for the newbie question!

In system manager create a system using HTTP protocol. In the address enter 192.168.0.103, then port 3480

Then for each command in the system, just start with the /, eg:

/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=21&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0

If that doesnt work, try removing the / at the start of the command.

Otherwise you can use JavaScript, like this:
CF.request("http://192.168.0.103:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=21&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1 ", function() {});

Thanks, both these work. I now have buttons that can turn the lights on or off. Now I want to make a request and get the status of each light so I know it's dimming state and then update my gui (a text value)with the dimming value (ie. 50%, 30%, etc) I can do this with this command:

http://192.168.0.103:3480/data_request?id=lu_status&output_format=xml

This returns a result of:

<device id="21" status="-1">

<states>

<state id="251" service="urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1" variable="Status" value="1"/>

<state id="252" service="urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1" variable="LoadLevelStatus" value="50"/>

<state id="253" service="urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1" variable="LoadLevelTarget" value="50"/>

<state id="254" service="urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HaDevice1" variable="Configured" value="1"/>

In know my current device is <device id="21" status="-1"> and therefore I can find the line that contains the variable="LoadLevelStatus" value="50". What is the best way to get this value and join it to my text value in my gui? It should tell me my light is 50%.

I just want to understand the steps involved. I have read the WIKI but I am not certain exactly how to go about performing this feedback.

Do I create a javascript that contains a function to make this call and call the function on page load and update the gui then? If I call the function on page load do I retrieve the 

LoadLevelStatus variable and join it to my text node in the GUI?

Am I understanding this correctly? Some guidance would be greatly appreciated?

I just posted a Weather Demo on my web site (www.the-gordons.net) It builds a weather page up from feedback in JSON format.  Similar code would do the same for XML formatted feedback. It uses the site api.wunderground.com for the source of the information. To understand wunderground.com go to www.wunderground.com and read the documentation.  You will need to register and obtain a valid api key to use the program. It will work for any US zip code and any area worldwide with some simple changes.

 

JSON is trivial to deal with as a feedback reply since it can be converted to a Javascript object by a single command and then all the parsing and text checking is already done.

 

I had an example of doing this in XML, but unfortunately I deleted it when I decided to go the JSON route.

The Dynamic Room List has an example of using CF.request and parsing XML data, check it out here:
https://github.com/CommandFusion/DemoUserInterfaces/blob/master/DynamicRoomList/roomlist.js#L92

Line 92 of roomlist.js is the example code you should take a look at.

Hallo Fast Eddy,
Did you ever got this working?
I am starting with Vera Lite also and have the sending part working but not the feedback.

Hi Eric,

I get a JSON response but I am having trouble parsing the response data and joining it to a text node in iviewer.  My javascript skills are not that great, just learning.Sorry can't help.
