Hi,

I often wanted to know when a scene is triggered or a device switched. So I writen this little function to send Notifo notifications.

This is my first contact with lua, you can fill issues on the repository : Bitbucket
Insert this function in the lua startup script.

Hope this could be helpful to someone.
Thanks to @Guessed for his help.

[code]
– Please send issues or fork here:
– Bitbucket

– Send a Notifo notification

– @param message The message to send
– @param to Your notifo username
– @param title Optional name of "notification event
– @param label Optional label describing the “application”
– @param uri Optional uri that will be loaded when the notification is
– opened; if a web address, must start with
– http:// or https://

function notifo_notification (message, title, to, label, uri)
– put here your api key
local api_key = ‘your-api-key’

local to 		= to or 'your-notifo-username'
local label = label or 'Vera'

local https = require 'ssl.https'
local ltn12 = require 'ltn12'

-- utility method to make text URL friendly
function url_encode(str)
  if (str) then
    str = string.gsub (str, "\n", "\r\n")
    str = string.gsub (str, "([^%w ])",
        function (c) return string.format ("%%%02X", string.byte(c)) end)
    str = string.gsub (str, " ", "+")
  end
  return str   
end

local request_body = 'msg=' .. url_encode(message) .. '&to=' .. to .. '&label=' .. label
if (title) then request_body = request_body .. '&title=' .. url_encode(title) end
if (uri) then request_body = request_body .. '&uri=' .. url_encode(uri) end
local response_body = {}

b, c, h = https.request {
  url = 'https://api.notifo.com/v1/send_notification',
  method = 'POST',
  headers = {
    ["Content-Type"] =  "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
		["Content-Length"] = string.len(request_body),
		["Authorization"] = "Basic " .. (mime.b64(to .. ":" .. api_key))
	},
  source = ltn12.source.string(request_body),
  sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body),
}

end[/code]

Usage examples :

notifo_notification(‘test fom a function’)

notifo_notification(‘extended test message’, ‘message title’)

Years later, but I wanted to stop by and say “thanks”. I’m transitioning to Home Assistant and needed to make API calls from my Vera over HTTPS to keep the two in sync on a couple variables.
