Hi Mick,

sorry for the late reply! Did you see this blog article I wrote a while back about Windows interaction?

Basically to trigger Windows commands you need some kind of tool that acts as a proxy and executes them on request. In the article this proxy is the "SEPIA Mesh-Node" that integrates with SEPIA and converts HTTP requests into Windows runtime commands, but you might find other tools that can do the same (maybe Node-RED could do it as well, I've been working on some integrations for that a while ago).

Regards, Florian

Hi Mick,

I just double-checked the {"command":["start", "", "http://example.com"]} example and might have found a bug that was introduced in 2.5.0 :see_no_evil: Could you check your ~/SEPIA/sepia-assist-server/log.out log file to see if there is maybe an error like this: ERROR - org.json.simple.JSONObject cannot be cast to java.lang.String

just dont know json code to launch win apps

What you usually do is create a shortcut for your application or a .bat file that runs some code and place it in a folder relative to your Mesh-Node base folder. Then you can use the code similar to the one shown in the example: {"command":["start", "", "Shortcuts/Notepad.lnk"]} for example.

Hi Mick, I've updated SEPIA to v2.5.1 which should fix the bug mentioned above. Can you try again with the new version? :-)
