Explanation of SendRequest API

[PrzemyslawKlys]

Hi,

I'm trying to write NET version of your API and I'm pretty happy with what I have with one small thing. I have no idea on how to send open window requests

https://github.com/Apollon77/ioBroker.siegenia/blob/17f3ab871da5dac6b6c6bce180b06d32ddb9a88f/lib/mapper.js#L25C1-L30C7

I've been looking at this table, but i have hard time understanding what is that I actually send.

I tried a lot of different settings to sent, but nothing works. I get the status and all, but I can't find out what goes into params JSON

Sending: {
  "command": "setDeviceParams",
  "id": 3,
  "params": {
    "openclose": 1
  }
}
Received: {
  "id": 3,
  "status": "ok"
}

Would appreciate it if you can explain the fieldMapping, device Mapping you did. More over I would be interested how did you get the mapping in the first place ;) when i send the commands i don't get that much information allowing me to figiure out what is what.

I am specifically interested in MHS Family devices.

Hi, hm ... honestly thats a dificult question ... Implementing this is some years ago and works till then. I think the easiest way would be installing iobroker with the plugin and enable debig logging and see what it logs. it shpuld log requests and responses.

I worked back then with the officially available API PDFs on the sigenia website ... check there

I see, I can't find any API PDFs that's why I am asking. I thought that maybe you have a clue on the const you have built and how it all is connected but i understand. I'll keep digging thank you.

Additionally ... Write the Siegenia guys, they were alwys willing to support

I tried using ioBroker but to me it looks like doesn't work (or I don't understand how to use it)

I mean I can change states in that page to Close or Open, but basically nothing happens. The "reading" of states works tho, which acts similar to my app. But either I don't know how to use ioBroker, or it seems the API for closing is not working either

Thats interesting and noone reported so far. Could you enable debug logging please and check logs when you control it?

Debug log: Admin - Instances - enable Export mode (the head icon) - expand the instacne and change loglevel to debug. Logs then opn disk in /opt/iobroker/log/...

[PrzemyslawKlys]

Ok, weird - when i enabled debug mode, suddently things started to work. Maybe debug triggered restart and it magically works. Thank you. I should be good now.

{"command":"setDeviceParams","params":{"openclose":{"0":"CLOSE"}},"id":16}

Once I sent this - it works :)
