Could you add this to the altstore as well. I would like to get auto updates but it’s only possible through the store interface.

#88

Yes, I will do in the next days. The store was under maintenance lately and I was busy.

#89

Version 1.3 is uploaded to MiOS app store, waiting for approval.

The http switch is for controlling devices via http requests. You will find the variables you need to set under Advanced - Variables

to control smart life devices with this switch you will need to use the smart life api or ifttt or node-red

https://nodered.org/

The easiest option would be Ifttt as it will not need any coding just create applets for each function you require using webhook and smartlife and create a iftt platform account.

Thanks @therealdb for a great plugin!

Was just wandering if you had any update on retrieving the current status so it is reported correctly in Vera. I know you mentioned you don’t like the idea of polling, have you had any further thoughts?

#93

Thanks. The other mentioned options remains valid. you can poll yourself, or push the status. What are you using?

#94

I have create my own api for controlling Teckin switches, so I have the ability to use either polling or pushing. Does the http device support these now? I didn’t see any configuration options for it.

#95

nope, but you can simply call Vera’s HTTP endpoints in order to do it.

Sorry, I meant the " Alternate App Store" ALTUI : Alternate App Store - Alternate UI - Ezlo Community

#97

I can help if needed, but I’m not going to put it into the store myself… needs to be originated by the author.

#98

I never did it, but I’ll be more than happy to add this, Opensprinkler and VeraAlexa to AltAppStore. Please @akbooer send me the instructions. Thanks.

#99

Thanks therealdb. If you follow the link to the app store thread, the second post has a detailed description on how to publish a plugin.

New version on GitHub:

  • more polishing for Dimmers/Lights/RGB
  • Heaters are almost completed

I will update it very soon on App Store and try to submit it to the AltAppStore.

#105

Nice work @therealdb. I find your work to be most help full in making things work with vera.

Some feature requests for future versions -
1 a master device to keep track of all http devces.
2 the ability to edit child device urls in master device.
3 the ability to post requests with json body
{ type: 'smarthome', payload: { entity: 'Lamp', action: 'setColor', value: '#FF00FF' }} with %s subsitutions.

#106

1 and 2 require some work, so it’s a maybe.
3 is doable. I will investigate and plan in a future version.

Thanks for your words.
