lu_action - How To ?

Apps & Remote Access HomeWave (iOS)
#1

Hi

I’m looking to try out the lu_action option for a PLEG action, e.g

URL version

http://192.168.1.111:3480/data_request?id=action&DeviceNum=129&serviceId=urn:rts-services-com:serviceId:ProgramLogicC&action=RunAction&conditionName=KitchenLightOn

What format would I use for lu_action? - When I’ve tried the following it does not seem to work

luup.call_action("urn:rts-services-com:serviceId:ProgramLogicC","RunAction",{conditionName=KitchenNightOff},129)

Have tried the following but no joy…

"urn:rts-services-com:serviceId:ProgramLogicC","RunAction",{conditionName=KitchenNightOff},129
DeviceNum=129&serviceId=urn:rts-services-com:serviceId:ProgramLogicC&action=RunAction&conditionName=KitchenNightOff

I’m also noticing that when I try these the connection (wifi icon top right) changes to a red cloud, to suggest something is not quite right.

The HomeWave website gives this example…

DeviceNum=233&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1&action=SetLoadLevel&newLoadLevelTarget=100

But I cant get that to work either for one of my dimmers :frowning:

Your last example and the one from the website are correct, but perhaps something is broken (it’s not exactly a widely used feature)

Thanks @intveltr

I can’t seem to get URLs or lu_actions to work…

Hi @intveltr

Does it work for you?

As I’ve moved over to PLEG this feature should allow me to call any PLEG Actions I’ve created. The alternative is to create a scene that HomeWave points to which then points to the PLEG action. (Which is a longer route and creates a memory overhead on Vera for each scene used as an intermediary)

Maybe people don’t really know/appreciate the ability this feature provides via HomeWave, it’s only really now that I’ve started to explore it myself :slight_smile:

Can I help with any testing?

Any idea why it would change my connection icon from a Wi-Fi one to a red cloud when I try it?
