Hi,
Is there a way to send real time information to vera from an external program ?

To be more accurate I need to send an trigged alarm to vera from a perl script.

Is there a process to do that in vera.

What I see in almost cases is that this is vera which get information.

So any idea ?

thank you.

Hi gilles,

Sure. If you want to send information to a plugin, you can do it through the HTTP interface. The mechanism is exactly the same as, say, setting the on-off state of an appliance. See here.

If you want to send custom data, you will need a custom device D_foo.xml, with a custom service S_foo.xml, and custom code in I_foo.xml to act on the incoming data.

Hi Futzle, nice to read you.
Thank you for your link.
After reading that, I remember a virtual device state. So I use it and it works perfectly. I’ve just to code my perl script to use http post to vera.

Thank you again.
