Web commands

General Troubleshooting and Support
1

I can send a web command like this:
http://domain/api/HomeAutomation.X10/A5/Control.On
which works fine. But can you send a web command using the module name such as “bedside lamp” instead of of the module number as in A5 above?

I think it’s impossible at the moment because HG uses this domain/address notation to forward your message to the corresponding MIG interface.

3

How does the voice commands in hg work? The web interface and Android app both work in that way.

you could write a program to do it :slight_smile: my sms code could be altered to do what you want :slight_smile:

I don’t want to hijack but what would the url be for a normal program like the security program. I was given a suggestion of:
/api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie/Automation/Programs.Enable/90

That doesn’t work to arm and disarm. It should have the control.on at the end. I usually pull it up on the forum and plug it in, but…

Hi, @Naps1saps.

Actually, on G+ you asked

What is the URL address for turning on/off the security program?

and I believe that /api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie/Automation/Programs.Enable/90 is that address :wink:.

I’ll try to find how can you arm or disarm the security program using API and will write here later.

I have a browser plugin called wrapapi - which shows the requests nicely…

/api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation/90/Control.ArmHome/undefined/
/api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation/90/Control.ArmAway/undefined/
/api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation/90/Control.Disarm/undefined/

All http gets and nothing fancy in the request body…

an example with powershell:

I get a json error when I run it with Control.ArmAway
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected property name or ‘}’ at line 1 column 3 of the JSON data

If I use Control.On it works which is what I’ve been using. So thank you for getting that for me. I didn’t know this was going to be such a long thing or I would have made a new thread. We should start a sticky with a list of common API commands. I use trigger on my phone to arm my alarm when it loses WIFI connection meaning I left the house. Very handy if you live alone.

I think it’s because HG uses single quotes in serialized responses and Firefox, for example, doesn’t like them.
For this request HG replies with

{ 'ResponseValue' : 'ARMING AWAY' }

and this is valid JSON (you can check it here).

Don’t forget about documentation at this locations:
