Hi everybody,

I’m using a VERA Edge unit (UI7)

Hi,

Yes you can. You will have to use the socket.http library. You can look here for an example [url=https://github.com/reneboer/openLuup-CarNet/blob/master/src/L_CarNet1.lua]https://github.com/reneboer/openLuup-CarNet/blob/master/src/L_CarNet1.lua[/url]. Look at lines 279 - 342.

Hi Rene,

thanks a lot for answering.
So far I understand your code you will send something via POST.
But I need to recieve something.

You mean a post command to the Vera to get data of it? The wiki.mios.com documents requests but they are all get requests. I have not seen anything for posts. Do you have control over the call application? Then you can change it to a GET request.
