json parsing fail

[SdeGeata]

Hello!

So i finally got around to starting work on this, but am having troubles with the json stuff.

If i use the code as is from your example, "Json as URL", it goes fine - of course i have nothing that responds to those codes. Here's the thing, once I plug my own codes in, I get parsing errors. 1FEB04F doesn't work if I send with json, but if I send it according to the "Basic Output" format, it sends fine. I have tried prefixing it with 0x, that makes no difference.

Any ideas?

A small update:

Further testing reveals to me that it is not my code throwing the error. It seems to be that it doesn't like me swapping repeat for pulse. Any idea why???

JSON parsing error means you're formatting your JSON object incorrectly

If you post what you're trying I can take a look but check your syntax

Hey! Thanks for your prompt reply!

So this is what I'm playing with right now. Its a two button sequence; the first turns the unit on, the second adjusts temperature.

Still getting errors.

Couple things

• You don't have to use quotes around the key for ArduinoJson if you want to make your URLs shorter
• You forgot quotes around the address which are required (simple integers don't need this but anything else does)
• Whatever character you're using for quotes in some places isn't a normal quote, I would use a proper programming text editor cause " is different than ” which will parse differently

Ah, well that is good to know. I took the example off of the page but it seemed quotation mark heavy.

Also good to know.

Yeah, i discovered that my computer was automatically changing the straight brackets and replacing them with curly ones. A programming app doesn't seem to make a difference - I use Nova. I did find the option to turn it off in my settings though so all is well.

Thank you for your help and good work.
