    Running script through JSON call?

    I have been searching around and can't seem to find the answer for this, if it is even possible. Is it possible to make a JSON call to an HS3 server and run a script and pass it parameters? If so, what is the syntax? Thanks

    As far as I'm aware, no call exists.

      I couldn't find a way to pass parameters, so I created virtual devices on the HS3 machine to hold each parameter and updated the devices with JSON calls, then another JSON call to run an event that runs the script. The script on the HS3 machine gets the parameters from the virtual devices. Here's the JSON call to run the event:

      Code:
      Dim GetUrlHost as string = "http://192.168.143.200"   'I.P. address of remote server
Dim GetUrlPort as string = "80"    'Port of remote webserver
Dim GetUrlArg As String
Dim page As String

' setup GetUrl variable to run remote event

GetUrlArg = "/JSON?request=runevent&group=Telephone&name=Phone_CIDShowAnnounce"

page = hs.GetURL(GetUrlHost, GetUrlArg, True, GetUrlPort)

        Waking up an old thread I later discovered this

        https://github.com/TheInsomniac/homeseer-jsonapi

        I am using it to access my HS2 installation. I wrote a lot of custom scripts to switch my whole house audio system in HS2 years ago and they just work - so have never pulled them over the HS3 or HS4. I was able to use this modify this to setup HS2 to accept commands through JSON for running scripts.

        So I am now hacking away at this approach to get a simple script call going through HS3 with JSON. It is definitely trial and error but I am hoping this will work.

          I think you run HS on Windows.

          If so, you can easily run a script via an ASP page. It has no JSON response but you can pass parameters.

          Example Runscript.asp (place in your html directory).

          Code:
          <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<%
Dim Name, Func, Parms
Name = Request.QueryString("name")
Func = Request.QueryString("func")
Parms = Request.QueryString("parms")
hs.Runscriptfunc Name,Func,Parms,False,False
%>
</body>
</html>
          To call, use:

          http://<homeseer IP : port>/Runscript.asp?name=myscriptname.vb&func=Main&parms=hello

              Any thoughts on how to run this command through runscript.asp?

              192.168.2.70:86/Runscript.asp?name=Jon00RCCNMHS3.vben&func=Main&parms=8||run ||firefox.exe||https://sharptools.io/dashboard/view/<KEY>?kiosk=true -kiosk

              I tried escaping the spaces and it still didn't work:

              192.168.2.70:86/Runscript.asp?name=Jon00RCCNMHS3.vben&func=Main&parms=8||run ||C:\Program%20Files\Mozilla%20Firefox\firefox.exe||https://sharptools.io/dashboard/view/<KEY>?kiosk=true%20-kiosk

              Thanks.

                The issue is you are trying to send another URL in the parms and I suspect the second ? is causing an issue.

                Maybe easier just to add a line to runscript.asp

                If Parms = "Preset1" Then Parms = "8||run ||C:\Program%20Files\Mozilla%20Firefox\firefox.exe||https://sharptools.io/dashboard/view/<KEY>?kiosk=true%20-kiosk"

                Then just send "Preset1" as the parms entry in the url.

                      HI MNB. I do use Sharptools on all of my touchscreens. I started some time ago using JSON calls but then started using Hubitat as it has a direct plug-in. Now I do most of my processing there.
