Problem updating HS device from python script

[Groot]

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the correct forum to post, not sure where to put this.

I have a script that pulls data from my solarpanel production and has up until a week ago working great.
Do to some issues with upgrading to python, the script started to fail.
Now I have downgraded and the script is again able to fetch data from my solarpanel inverter.

The problem is that the script won't update the HS3 devices any more.
Is there anyone that could take a look at this code and see if there is any obvious problems?
I'm out of ideas.
I get no error when I run the script.

#config
username             = 'XXX'    #your username
password             = 'XXX'                #your password
domain                 = 'm.ginlong.com'             #domain
plantId             = 'XXX'                     #plant id
lan                 = '2'                         #lanuage (2 = English)

It would be helpful if you posted the errors from running the script.

If I try using this: http://localhost:80/JSON?request=setdevicestatus&ref=183&value=65&string= in the browser, then it works.
But I'm having trouble to make the script do the same.
url = ("http://" + hs_host + ":" + hs_port + "/" + hs_url+ "?request=setdevicestatus&ref=" + hs_ActualPower+ "&value=" + str(ActualPower) + "&string=")

What si wrong here?

That's the "problem" I get no errors..

[Groot]

This is what I get in the browser:

What is the error?

Then print out your last statements to see what is being sent. Add some debugging to your code to see what it's doing.

How do I do that?
I'm on really deep waters here. I have very little/zero experience with scripting.
Is there a way to run the scripts other than CMD to get more information?

I suggest printing what is in the url variable for each of the 3 homeseer calls. Then paste those in your browser to test if the url is correctly formated.

url = ("http://" + hs_host + ":" + hs_port + "/" + hs_url+ "?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=" + hs_ActualPower+ "&value=" + str(ActualPower))

url = ("http://" + hs_host + ":" + hs_port + "/" + hs_url+ "?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=" + hs_etoday+ "&value=" + str(etoday))

url = ("http://" + hs_host + ":" + hs_port + "/" + hs_url+ "?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=" + hs_etotal+ "&value=" + str(etotal))

Also worth looking to see if what you're putting into the URL is actually what you think you're putting into the URL. Add something real simple like:

print url
urllib.urlopen(url)

So that it prints out what it's about to send to HS. Then you can see if you're actually sending what you think you're sending.....

I would also say, sending 3 Json commands virtually simultaneously is asking for trouble so I would place a delay between each urllib.urlopen(url)

[Groot]

That piece of code did the trick!
Was looking for something like that.
Seams that the script was sending everything correct, but the problem is with comma and dot.
The script sends dot, but HS3 needs comma to change the device value.
So I'm one step closer.

[jon00]

Add:

import time

to the top of the script and then add:

time.sleep(1)

between the JSON calls.

Changing my region settings did the trick. And also added a delay just to be on the safe side.

Thanks everybody. I slowly learn something new every day.
