    Alternatively use:

    DeviceMode=3

    This will allow you to set the status graphics and also set the status text from the value (0 or 100).
    Thanks, that worked. But now I have a different problem. I have changed the names of the locks to Front/Side Door to better fit my Homeseer naming convention. But that broke the script. The HS log says

    Code:

DeviceValue1=[0] [replace "UNLOCKED","0"][replace "LOCKED","100"]

    and the input file

    Code:
    [

        "deviceLabel": "XXX",
        "area": "Front Door",
        "method": "THUMB",
        "lockedState": "UNLOCKED",
        "currentLockState": "UNLOCKED",
        "pendingLockState": "NONE",
        "eventTime": "2018-12-18T07:33:58.000Z",
        "secureModeActive": false,
        "motorJam": false,
        "paired": true
    },
    {
        "deviceLabel": "XXX",
        "area": "Side Door",
        "userString": "YYY",
        "method": "TAG",
        "lockedState": "UNLOCKED",
        "currentLockState": "UNLOCKED",

        "secureModeActive": false,
        "motorJam": false,
        "paired": true
    }
]
    i.e the same as before except for the changed lock names.The "Cannot access path" is throwing me off - the paths are correct and all files present. It doesn't matter which path I use anyway.

    Is it the spaces in "Front Door" and "Side Door"?

      The config has nothing to do with the path of the file. If the filename has not changed, I cannot see why you are getting this error.

        I must have broken something during my tinkering. I restored the system to a time before I installed the script (thank God for virtual machines), started over, and it works again.

          Apologies for all the questions, but now that I have the basics working I would like to scrape some more values. I think I understand how to do a simple two-state variable, but what about a time stamp or other string?

          Code:
          [
    {
        "deviceLabel": "XXX",
        "area": "FrontDoor",
        "userString": "[COLOR=#FF0000]John Doe[/COLOR]",
        "method": "[COLOR=#FF0000]REMOTE[/COLOR]",
        "lockedState": "UNLOCKED",
        "currentLockState": "UNLOCKED",
        "pendingLockState": "NONE",
        "eventTime": "[COLOR=#FF0000]2018-12-19T10:11:18.000Z[/COLOR]",
        "secureModeActive": false,
        "motorJam": false,
        "paired": true
    },
    {
        "deviceLabel": "YYY",
        "area": "SideDoor",
        "userString": "[COLOR=#FF0000]Jane Doe[/COLOR]",
        "method": "[COLOR=#FF0000]TAG[/COLOR]",
        "lockedState": "UNLOCKED",
        "currentLockState": "UNLOCKED",
        "pendingLockState": "NONE",
        "eventTime": "[COLOR=#FF0000]2018-12-19T07:16:22.000Z[/COLOR]",
        "secureModeActive": false,
        "motorJam": false,
        "paired": true
    }
]
          Code:
          [Grab1]
Path=C:\ProgramData\vsure\lockstatus.txt
TextFile=0
Encoding=
Username=
Password=
Options=
UserAgent=
Devicemode=3
StripHTML=0
Pattern1=(?s)FrontDoor.*?currentLockState": "(.*?)",
Pattern2=(?s)SideDoor.*?currentLockState": "(.*?)",
DeviceName1=FrontDoor Status
DeviceName2=SideDoor Status
DeviceText1=[0]
DeviceText2=[100]
DeviceValue1=[0] [replace "UNLOCKED","0"][replace "LOCKED","100"]
DeviceValue2=[100] [replace "UNLOCKED","0"][replace "LOCKED","100"]
          I would have to scrape these and then somehow get the values into the Homeseer UI. Status variable values won't work for things like dates.

            Add the following to the ini file:

            Code:
            Pattern3=(?s)FrontDoor.*?userString": "(.*?)",
Pattern4=(?s)SideDoor.*?userString": "(.*?)",
Pattern5=(?s)FrontDoor.*?method": "(.*?)",
Pattern6=(?s)SideDoor.*?method": "(.*?)",
Pattern7=(?s)FrontDoor.*?eventTime": "(.*?)",
Pattern8=(?s)SideDoor.*?eventTime": "(.*?)",
DeviceName3=FrontDoor User
DeviceName4=SideDoor User
DeviceName5=FrontDoor Method
DeviceName6=SideDoor Method
DeviceName7=FrontDoor Time
DeviceName8=SideDoor Time
DeviceText3=[200]
DeviceText4=[300]
DeviceText5=[400]
DeviceText6=[500]
DeviceText7=[600]
DeviceText8=[700]
            This should provide the status. You can add values using my Locked/unlocked example.

              Thanks, I did this but how would I use it on a string like a date? The grab is 100% correct but I have problems with the timestamps.


              Code:
              [Grab1Data]
0=UNLOCKED
500=Home Helpers
600=2018-12-19T10:11:18.000Z
700=2018-12-19T07:16:22.000Z
100=UNLOCKED
200=REMOTE
300=TAG
400=Per-Olof Litby
              Code:
              Pattern7=(?s)FrontDoor.*?eventTime": "(.*?)",
DeviceName7=FrontDoor Timestamp
DeviceText7=[600]
              In your pollen example you are using

              Code:
              DeviceText1=[100] [200]<br>[0]

to get

              but I just get "Unknown".

                The pollen example is grabbing the time/date in that format as that was how it was displayed on the web page. The script has no direct functions to convert the UNIX time stamp to a date format in words. All you can do is make it more readable by removing some characters i.e.

                DeviceText7=[600][replace "T"," "] [replace ".000Z"," "]

                This should format the output as 2018-12-19 10:11:18 instead of 2018-12-19T10:11:18.000Z

                  Understood, and I'm happy with just the date string, but the problem is that I get nothing at all.

                  Code:
                  DeviceText7=[600][replace "T"," "] [replace ".000Z"," "]
                  just results in "Unknown":

                    SOLVED. I had DeviceMode set to 3 when it should be 2.

                    Now all I have to figure out is how to change the time to CET instead of Zulu.
