Thanks Steve. Very interesting. Might take you up on the look around when
I=
'm back in.

Feel like a noob having to start all again! Certainly won't be running the
=
7km of Cat5e again though!!!

We're there any other systems you considered for your HA setup?

Not sure if I'll use HV again or not but I do know it very well even if
it'=
s getting a bit long in the tooth. Will really miss CBus though after
recon=
figuring this morning for the new owners. Hopefully Z wave will be just as
=
capable (certainly cheaper!)

Yes the HC2 can link with an API via HTTP.

I use HomeVision to control my nodes via a custom lighting macro.  A
typica=
l http command to switch device 4 on to 75% would look like this

http://admin:admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/api/callAction?deviceID=3D4&name=3DsetValu=
e&arg1=3D<http://admin:admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/api/callAction?deviceID=3D4&name=
=3DsetValue&arg1=3D100>75

I also have a scene setup in my Fibaro to update the HomeVision variables
w=
ith the temperature readings from my Dallas temperature sensors on change.
=
It looks like this -

--[[
%% properties
79 value
80 value
81 value
%% globals
--]]

local trigger =3D fibaro:getSourceTrigger()
local http =3D net.HTTPClient()
local postdata =3D ""

if (trigger['type'] =3D=3D 'property') then
fibaro:debug('Source device =3D ' .. trigger['deviceID'])

if (trigger['deviceID'] =3D=3D 79) then -- Hot Water Tank
-- do action
local TempID =3D 79
local TempLevel=3D fibaro:getValue(TempID , 'value')
postdata =3D "Var 4 : " .. TempLevel .. "=3D=3D"

elseif (trigger['deviceID'] =3D=3D 80) then -- Water Closet
-- do action
local TempID =3D 80
local TempLevel=3D fibaro:getValue(TempID , 'value')
postdata =3D "Var 42 : " .. TempLevel .. "=3D=3D"

elseif (trigger['deviceID'] =3D=3D 81) then -- Lounge
-- do action
local TempID =3D 81
local TempLevel=3D fibaro:getValue(TempID , 'value')
postdata =3D "Var 43 : " .. TempLevel .. "=3D=3D"

else
-- some other device triggered the scene
end
--Send data via http
http:request("http://192.168.1.18:3005";,
{options =3D {method =3D 'POST', h=
eaders =3D {}, data =3D postdata, timeout =3D 5000},
error =3D function(err)
print('[ERROR] ' .. err)
end})
end

I do something simular to update the HomeVision lighting table with light
l=
evels also.

You are welcome to contact me off list if you want to TeamViewer into my
Fi=
baro to have a look?

Steve
