TextSeer for HS3

[Moskus]

VERY BETA!

Just copy to the HS3 directory, and enable. At the moment it works exactly like HS2 version and can be used with WPseer:

"http://server:port/textseer"
...returns all location1's used

"http://server:port/textseer?location1=somelocation1"
...returns all location2's used in given location1

"http://server:port/textseer?location1=somelocation1&location2=somelocation2" 
...returns all devices in location 2"

"http://server:port/textseer?location1=[Events]"
...lists all Event groups

"http://server:port/textseer?location1=[Events]&location2=Default"
...lists all events in the "Default" group

"http://server:port/textseer?deviceid=NUMBER"
... returns info and commands for the corresponding device. This is the normal HomeSeer device ID or "reference"

"http://server:port/textseer?script=Writelog.vb&function=main&parameter=This is a parameter"
... exetues a script, where "script" defines the filename, "function" defines the ... er... function ("Main") and parameter is the parameter string.
"function" and "parameter" can be omitted.

"http://server:port/textseer?deviceid=NUMBER&deviceCMD=COMMAND"
...executes a specific command listed under 'CMD:' for the device"
/textseer?deviceID=8643&devicecmd=On               ... turns my hallway light on
/textseer?deviceID=8643&devicecmd=Off              ... turns my hallway light off
/textseer?deviceID=8643&devicecmd=Togge            ... smart  toggle between "off" and "on last level" (if it exists) or just "on"
/textseer?deviceID=8643&devicecmd=Dim%2050%        ... dims my hallway light to 50% ("%20" equals space)
/textseer?deviceID=1234&devicecmd=Run Event        ... runs the event with ID 1234

Commands are based on CAPI, so every CAPI enabled device (which should be about everyone) should work.



To come:
- HTML navigation (for a very, very simple status page)
- XML format for those who need it

Turn off smilies.

[Moskus]

I can't!

The written language needs help from time to time...

[Moskus]

Updated. Now supports Toggle, Events and running scripts.

Sorry seems like a dumb question, but are these all the beta releases in the first posting?
So just starting out with HS3's version, .3 is the latest?

What exactly does this do?

Yeah, .3 is the latest.

What exactly does this do?

... did you read the first post?

It's an alternative to the JSON interface, now built into HomeSeer. Before there was no such interface, so this plugin was a way of using HTTP URLs to make something in HS3 happen.

So if I put:
http://my_homeseer_IP/textseer?devic...3&devicecmd=On
into a browser (or any other HTTP client)... it turns the light in my hallway on.
