I have an Verisure Surveillance system. which is not zwave compatible.
It features some very good online functionality for ex. web browsers or smartphones. You can see if the system is armed and events and so on.
I guess its possible to create an device which parse/scrapes the the status online. the problem is it’s a bit of a hassle to login to the web service, I need to provide cookie and post information in https. It’s possible with curl. (I would like to use the iPhone Api to the web service but i can’t find any information about it, found a couple of url:s and ip that the iPhone serve accesses.)
Is there any lump source i can look at that does something similar ?.
Im thinking of buying a Vera Lite and i have a Verisure Surveillance system. I found this post through searching after just Vera, Verisure and scrape webpage. Because i thought that would be the simplest way to connect the Vera with my Verisure.
Has anyone made a plugin for the Vera? Is it even possible to parse/scrape a webpage with a Vera Plugin?
Yes, it’s possible to scrape Web pages for text; look at the Weather Underground plugin for an example of how to fetch pages over HTTP in Lua.
Edit: if you have to provide login information and pass session cookies around, then it’s going to be a challenge to code, but it is still definitely possible. If you can do it in curl then one option is to get the plugin to delegate the work to curl and just read its output with io.popen().
