Control over HTTP

[shamanix]

Hello, you Evil Genius,

thanks for your great software. It works perfect, very fast and is simple to use. I have one question: can i control it with http commands. i will implement the esp in my smart home software (fhem) to control it. i can define LightScenes here, other LED Stripe with LW12 Controller i control thrue webcommands ( http://1.2.3.4/?cmd=rainbow ). what can i do to have this with your software? thanks robert

Thanks! Definitely. The web app is completely client-side javascript and interacts with the ESP8266 with standard HTTP requests (GETs and POSTs). Just open the web app, open the browser developer tools, look at the network tab, and start doing stuff in the web app. You'll be able to see all the HTTP requests the web app uses.

Thanks for the fast reply, i have do this already with safari and chrome. i see the command power?value=1 for switch the button "on" but when i try to open http://1.2.3.4/power?value=1 then comes a blank site with " /power not found " when i try http://1.2.3.4/?cmd=power?value=1 then open the webapp, but the led are not on... where is my mistake?

[jasoncoon]

Yeah, look closer at the HTTP request methods. Anything that gets a value is a HTTP GET request. Anything that changes a value is a HTTP POST request. When you open http://1.2.3.4/power?value=1 in a web browser, it sends a HTTP GET request. To send a HTTP POST request, you need to write code, create an HTML form, etc. You can also use a tool like Postman to test.

perfect, you bring me on the right way! i can send data with a curl --data "" http://1.2.3.4/power?value=1 in command line on fhem-server console now. now i can implement your famous software in my smart home central. ( fhem ) this is nice, because i can control the smart home with my voice, to say "Make light blue" or "partytime" wich will be start some things (Music, other light effects - and now your´s :-) ) thanks again for your great piece of software!

hi, thanks @mclaudiu for your response. Your Solution works perfectly. i read some tuts, and now i use this: curl --data "" http://1.2.3.4/power?value=1 this works also perfect. original it must be: curl --data "power?value=1" http://1.2.3.4 - but this will bring up an error: / not found i will read about the differences to your solution.

Thanks again to all :-)

hi again,

i forgot something: i use a WS2801 LED Strip. need to add a CLOCK_PIN and change the LEDStripe SetupRoutine to APA102 Dotstar and everything works perfect. only for your interest and maby to make a notice in the wiki or readme.

[shamanix]

define DATA_PIN 6

define CLOCK_PIN 5

define LED_TYPE WS2801

define COLOR_ORDER RGB

define NUM_LEDS 160

FastLED.addLeds<LED_TYPE,DATA_PIN,CLOCK_PIN,COLOR_ORDER>(leds, NUM_LEDS); // for APA102 (Dotstar)

my ESP: [Nodemcu-ESP-12F-WIFI-Network] (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-Lua-Nodemcu-ESP-12F-WIFI-Network-Development-Board-Module-Based-ESP8266/32740698081.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.zhXl7d

my STRIP: WS2801

Any way to do the solid color with hex value?

[mxbmxbmxb]

I made one applet for each colour in ifttt http://myipaddress/solidColor?value="&r=0&g=0&b=255" Make lights blue. Must be Post as the Method and content type application/json For patterns http://myipaddress/pattern?value={{NumberField}} Google assist say pattern number so put the number in as the field. Same a above must be post and application/json. Looking at how to only allow access from ifttt ip addresses for security and adding friendly names for calling the patterns.
