REST api curl PUT request start_cleaning_zone_by_name

[markusdahlberg]

Hi and thanks for a great software.

I am trying to request zoned cleanup by curl.

I am using this string

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '[{"Zone1"}]' http://192.168.1.118/api/start_cleaning_zone_by_name

This error occurs .

Am I doing this wrong or is it a bug?

As for me, it tries to say that your json is wrong. You need to put an array of strings, while you're writing an array of invalid objects. Try just '["zone1"]' or '["zone1","zone2"]' etc.

And this is really a bug. Probably nobody used this route for years. :(

Just fixed that, please try running this test build. See installation instructions in wiki (if you have a gen1 device, it's still applicable, just replace /etc/init/S11valetudo stop with stop valetudo and, /etc/init/S11valetudo start with start valetudo). Sorry for the inconvenience.
