    Send HTTP or IP command

    Im trying to send an IP command to my DirecTv Receiver. I searched the forum and have seen that there are some plugins others have tried. Im actually hoping to send 1 simple command which works if I paste it in a browser. The command bellow works from IE or Chrome fine. How can I get this done with HomeSeer? I tried some GetURL but I have Zero knowledge of scripts...

    Thank you...

    What does happen if you run the command hs.geturl("192.168.1.81", "/tv/tune?major=301&minor=65535", False, 8080)?

      I get the following error in the log...
      Running script, script run or compile error in file: DTV Control1044:Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub in line 2 More info: Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub

        I use the following in hstouch all of the time to control SageTv

        hs.GetURLIE("http://192.168.2.51:87/sage/SageCommand?RetImage=no&nocache=1234103577546&command=Back&c ontext=00085c53c777",FALSE)

        So yours would be this:

        hs.GetURLIE("http://192.168.1.81:8080/tv/tune?major=301&minor=65535",False)

        This should not return the page, but execute the command.

          are you using a VBScript (.txt extension) or VB.NET (.vb extension)? Try those commands also in the immediate script command box first on the control page and see if you get any error

            if you are running:
            hs.geturl("192.168.1.81", "/tv/tune?major=301&minor=65535", False, 8080)

            in the quick command box, you need to remove the parans:

            hs.geturl "192.168.1.81", "/tv/tune?major=301&minor=65535", False, 8080

              in a .txt script I use the "Call hs.xxx(expression)". the "Call" allows the line to be formated and more readable.


              This line should work just fine from the text entry of a button in HSTouch.

              Text Name [$SCRIPT=&hs.GetURLIE("hs.GetURLIE("http://192.168.1.81:8080/tv/tune?major=301&minor=65535",False)]

              This will Work from a script named "DTvTune.txt" called from an event, if your original line runs from IE.

              Sub Main

              Call hs.GetURLIE("http://192.168.1.81:8080/tv/tune?major=301&minor=65535",False)

              End Sub
              -Skybolt

                IT Works...

                Thank you all for your quick tips and direction...
                I created the event and under the action/script statement I placed the following line, this works great

                hs.geturl "192.168.1.81", "/tv/tune?major=301&minor=65535", False, 8080

                I now have that event triggered daily @ 6AM so when my kids wake up they dont need to fiddle with the remote just turn the TV on and watch.....Thank you all again.
