Support Brightness Value In content-body #39

Open maddox opened 9 years ago

maddox commented 9 years ago

It's awesome being able to append ${intensity.percent} and ${intensity.byte} to our URLs so that we can pass brightness. But it'd be great if this could work via our content-body as well. Some APIs expect this value in the content-body not the actual URL params.

Example

{
  "name": "Family Room Light",
  "deviceType": "switch",
  "offUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/services/light/turn_on",
  "onUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/services/light/turn_on",
  "contentType" : "application/json",
  "httpVerb":"POST",
  "contentBody" : "{\"entitiy_id\":\"light.family_room\", \"brightness\": "${intensity.byte}" }"
}

Can you give it a try? The content body gets evaluated by the same method as the url
