find scene by name?

Developer's Corner General Dev Discussions

using https calls is there a way to pull all scenes so I can parse them. I want to look for a specific scene by name and then find its number to call it. I don’t want to hardcode a scene number as I was going to use the code for 2 veras.

(or more simply, given a known scene name, is there an easy way to invoke it via https.

Cranking something out quickly in c# to make life a bit easier for me…

Thanks

You can get all of the data about your vera … this has embedded in it info about Scene Name to Scene ID associations.

But it’s a lot of data … not a lightweight operation.
Most folks cache this.

You will get a big JSON/XML file back from the call to lu_status2.
Navigate to the scenes array then iterate through them to get the mappings.

Lu_sdata would be your best bet. It’s a fraction of user data and lu_status.

Will dig around a bit… this will keep me out of trouble for a little while at least… ;D

Thanks!
