is there workability between Sonoff RF Bridge and HA-bridge?

[Matttribal]

Hi I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to get a flashed (or un-flashed) Sonoff RF Bridge and HA-bridge to work together? Has anybody achieved this? Ideally the operation would be... RF door sensor triggers the Sonoff RF bridge, which would then (via wifi) send a command to HA-Bridge which would turn a light on. Thanks

Try some homeautomation software like Homeseer, or some opensource. You can do then http requests to turn light on/off

Thanks Walter, but im hoping not to run another software as i already run my home using ha-bridge so am hoping there is a way to integrate it into there. I think a flashed Sonoff RF Bridge can send out MQTT payload or a simple HTTP request (HTTP would be the preferred and easiest option). So maybe there is a way to directly trigger the lights on ha-bridge this way? Anybody know how?

There are several protocols to do that in Ha-bridge. I’m using http Json for connecting with my Homeseer. Ha-bridge is flexible with that. You you can check which protocol sonoff is using in the docs.

I need a way to trigger HA-bridge. What would be the http command for a device to trigger something in HA-bridge?? I assume you trigger by ID? Or does it have to be done with Json? If so how are you doing this? Thanks

[Home-Control9000]

For Homeseer im using this: Kitchenlight ON: http://192.168.1.51:8083/JSON?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=579&value=255

Kitchenlight OFF: http://192.168.1.51:8083/JSON?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=579&value=0

Thanks Walter, but that looks like commands that are sent FROM ha-bridge TO other devices. That's not what I'm looking for. I need a way to trigger HA-bridge.

@bwssytems Does HA-bridge accept any simple commands that I can put into another device that will trigger certain IDs in HA-bridge? Or to be used in a GUI button press.

I'm hoping for a simple HTTP request, something like http://192.168.0.10:80/api/lights/101/state/true

If so, are there multiple ways? What is the easiest way?

Thank you

It requires a PUT, works just like Phillips Hue, see here: https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge#set-light-state

[Matttribal]

Thanks, audiofreak9. I'm keen to know if this is the only option?

Also, from the link you provided... The command asks for a "username". Is this the username I log into HA-bridge on (admin), or is it something else? I would like to test this PUT command from within HA-bridge. Is there a way to run a PUT command from HA-bridge? Thanks for your help!

[audiofreak9]

This is currently the only way to trigger an HA-Bridge device, as it emulated the Phillips Hue API.

Username can be anything you want, HA-Bridge configures all usernames automatically. I use a single letter for simplicity.

Yes you can perform a PUT with a configured device in HA-Bridge to trigger another configured device, change the "Http Verb" to PUT.

[Matttribal]

Thanks! I'm not sure I'm getting the full command correct as its not working. I tried multiple things in the HTTP BODY but no job. See attached, any pointers? Thanks

[bwssytems]

@Matttribal Putting that into another ha-bridge device. I believe you are asking to put that request into the sonoff system, correct?

[Matttribal]

@bwssytems yes. But I’m guessing if an HTTP command does exist to trigger a HA-bridge device ID, that I can use it on the SONOFF or from within HA-Bridge (as per the the pic in my last post)? Am I along the right lines with that command pictured in my last post? Thanks.

[bwssytems]

You are asking along the correct lines. If you have the ha-bridge security on, you'll need to get a username from the system first. The team has instructions on how to do that as it explains the basics of the hue API it emulates.

[Matttribal]

Great, thanks! Any idea how I get the team to provide that info? Thanks

[bwssytems]

As I mentioned, it is in the readme at https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge#create-user

[Matttribal]

@audiofreak9 please could you let me know where I'm going wrong with this PUT command?

I have created a user as per @bwssytems last comments but it still doesn't work. I have tried multiple things but I always get log issues

INFO Tracestate: Decode Json for url items: [{"item":"http://192.168.0.25/api/dea7635a59aa44e29be5b40afd9ecd90/lights/102/state/","type":"httpDevice","httpVerb":"PUT","httpBody":"\"on\": true"}]

WARN HTTP response code was not an expected successful response of between 200 - 299, the code was: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found with the content of <<<

on another note do you know if "Bridge Reinitialize" can be triggered from a PUT command?

Many thanks!!

[audiofreak9]

Looking quickly you need to set the Content Type, probably to multipart/form-data.

[Matttribal]

Thanks, but unfortunately not... unless I'm missing some sort of syntax. I'm beginning to think the PUT feature doesn't work
