How can I send a json message with 'http.post' to the Philips Hue router?

[Hyunjoong Kang]

Hi..

 

I'm trying to send a json message to the Philips Hue router to turn on a light with Karotz javascript api.

By studying the API of the Hue, I found the following method can turn the light on..

 

URL: http://192.168.1.20/api/username/lights/1/state

Payload: {"on":true}

 

 

After I found the method,

I made a main.js with following codes..

 

url = "http://192.168.1.20/api/username/lights/1/state";

datapost = {"on":true};

header = { };

isForm = false;

 

http.post(url, datapost, header, isForm);

 

--->

 

Then, the following execption appears..

 

org.mozilla.javascript.WrappedException: Wrapped java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to java.lang.String (init.js#45)

 

!!!!

 

Is there any way to solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance..

 

 

Best!!!

 

 

hj Kang.

datapost = {"on":"true"};

Thanks..

I tried that but philips hue does not understand..
I think the reason is 'karotz datapost only sends string type..'

Http Post supports only one format: String

Try different value for your parameter, or confirm your URL !
