Update from .sh to Lua ?

[nodecentral]

Hi

Hope all is well, while I was a big user of your plug-in in the past, I moved to use my own UniFi controller lua code, which I run ad-hoc to retrieve the json file etc.

I hope you don’t mind the question, but I was just wondering if it would be better if this plug-in utilised Lua to do the requests, rather than a .sh file ?

Also have you looked at anymore of the UniFi API to add more functionality ?

If it helps, (as your read-me asked for a Lua version) here’s what I use..
