AutoRemote - Multiple parameters?

[Kyle Wollaston]

Hi guys, I am currently writing a script in EventGhost to send my phone a command with two parameters. 

I want to know how to have multiple parameters that each contain more than one word. For example, I want the message '"param one' 'param two'=:=command" to yield two params instead of four. Is this possible? I don't want to have to do reconstruction on the device end (Variable Split/Section, etc.)

Also another question for joaomgcd, I am trying to use your EG plugin actions in a script but I want to know how to send to a(ll) device(s) instead of hardcoding the key(s). 

[Kyle Wollaston]

Currently I am using:

eg.plugins.AutoRemote.SendMessage('MyName', '', 'MyKey', '"param one" "param two"=:=command', '', '', '', '', '')

[João Dias]

Yes, send "command=:=param 1=:=param 2" :)

"param 1" will be available in %arcomm1 and "param 2" in %arcomm2

Thank you, I appreciate it. What about my second question?

[Kyle Wollaston]

Hi, I have 3 parameters that I am sending from AutoRemote. artist, song, and album.

I was confused when trying to display them on my phone as the first parameter is in par1 while the second and third parameters are in comm1 and comm2..and the actual command name is in comm3.

Shouldn't the 3 parameters be in par1-3 and th command be in comm1?

Okay, sorry for posting about but if the first parameter contains spaces they get split up and this brings me back to my original question. The message "param one=:=param two=:=param three=:=command" should result in:

arpar1: param one

arpar2: param two

arpar3: param three

arcomm: command

[Kyle Wollaston]

I have temporarily gotten around it for now by doing a variable set par par(1:) and search , replace " "..but I would like to be able to have it as described above.

Did you check the link I posted above it describes the command system in detail. Please check the examples there and you'll see how it works particularly this part:

You can even have multiple multi-word phrases

If you, for instance. use the command “a b c=:=hi there=:=how are you doing=:=hope everything’s alright”, you’ll have these variables available:

•  %arpar1 would be “a” (because it’s the first word at the left of =:=)
•  %arpar2 would be “b” (because it’s the second word at the left of =:=)
•  %arpar3 would be “c” (because it’s the third word at the left of =:=)
• %arcomm1 would be “hi there” (because it’s all the words at the right of the first =:=)
• %arcomm2 would be “how are you doing” (because it’s all the words at the right of the second =:=)
• %arcomm3 would be “hope everything’s alright” (because it’s all the words at the right of the thrid =:=)

About the script, you can do this:

 for device in eg.plugins.AutoRemote.plugin.devices:

         eg.plugins.AutoRemote.SendMessage(device .name,device.url, device.key, MESSAGE, u'', u'', u'', '', u'')

Yes, I have read that but still don't quite fully understand. How would I send a message with the command "nowplaying" with the parameters artist, album, and song (all more than one word)? The words to the left of the first separator are treated as single word parameters so I don't want to use those. Would :"=:=param one=:=param two=:=param three=:=nowplaying" be the correct solution?

[João Dias]

nowplaying=:=The Artist=:=The Album=:= The Song

:)

[Kyle Wollaston]

Sweet, that makes much more sense to me. I appreciate the help! One more question, why do I have to do Autoremote wifi enable and Auto remote device send info every so often? I thought you only had to do it once at boot? Do I have to do it everytime wifi connects to my network?

[Kyle Wollaston]

Also, fyi: I'm using the AutoRemote Beta and I can't clear the Tasker variables like the prefix etc I change it to '' and it says variable names must be only lowercase letters.

[João Dias]

Thanks for the report :) Will fix.

About the wifi service, you need to do it every time you connect to a wifi network so you can be sure the other device has the most up to date local IP.

Thanks!

If my local IP is static do I still need to do so? Or can I omit the send device info?

[João Dias]

If it's always the same IP you don't need to send the info, no :)

If I don't do that, EG can't send a msg through Wifi to my phone yet my phone can send to EG via Wifi. Also AR crashed twice for no apparent reason, just sent a report.
