UniFi Energy Report - How can I retrieve the value via http ?

parkerc

Hi,

I have a piece of code that returns the Watts used by all the PoE devices on my home network. I’m trying to set it up on Vera so that can retrieve that value in a similar way I would retrieve a Vera variable via a http request.

The function works returns the total value when run via LuaTest, but when I try to retrieve it via luup.register_ handler, for some reason it returns the entire UniFi json file ??

Please could some help me with what’s wrong, my goal is to be able to retrieve the value , like an api so I can use it elsewhere ..

luup.register_handler("UnifiControllerPoE","UnifiWatts")

function UnifiControllerPoE()
	local unifi_username = "unifi" 
	local unifi_password = "unifi" 
	local unifi_controller_ip = "192.168.1.207" 
	local unifi_controller_port = "8443"  
	local cookie = "/tmp/unifi_cookie_lua" -- Temp cookie file
	local tempfilename = "/tmp/UnifiController.tmp" -- Temp JSON output file
	local device = 'api/s/default/stat/device'
	local f = io.popen("stat -c %Y " .. tempfilename)
	local last_modified = f:read()
		--if (os.difftime (os.time(), last_modified) > 30) then
			-- URL for logging in, query and logging out
			url_login = 'curl --cookie ' .. cookie .. ' --cookie-jar ' .. cookie .. ' --insecure -H \'Content-Type: application/json\' -X POST -d \'{"password":"' .. unifi_password .. '","username":"' .. unifi_username .. '"}\' https://' .. unifi_controller_ip .. ':' .. unifi_controller_port .. '/api/login'
			url_open = 'curl --cookie ' .. cookie .. ' --cookie-jar ' .. cookie .. ' --insecure -s -o '..tempfilename..' --data "json={}" https://' .. unifi_controller_ip .. ':' .. unifi_controller_port .. '/' ..device
			url_logout = 'curl --cookie ' .. cookie .. ' --cookie-jar ' .. cookie .. ' --insecure https://' .. unifi_controller_ip .. ':' .. unifi_controller_port .. '/logout'
			-- Execute url
			-- Execute url
			read_login = os.execute(url_login)
			read_open = os.execute(url_open)
			read_logout = os.execute(url_logout)
		--end

		
	local line
	local file = io.open(tempfilename, "r")
		if file then
			line = file:read("*a")
			file:close()
		end
	return line
end

--print(UnifiController())

local readings = {}
local total = 0
local json = require "dkjson"
local u = json.decode( UnifiControllerPoE() )
--print('\n')

for key,value in ipairs( u.data ) do
	for n, p in ipairs( value.port_table ) do
		--print('\t'.. tostring(p.port_idx), p.poe_enable, tonumber(p.poe_power))
		-- print(p.port_idx)
		table.insert( readings, { value.name, tonumber(p.poe_power)}) -- populate readings table
	end	
end
	for _, reading in ipairs(readings) do
		local Variable = reading[1]
		local Value = reading[2] or 0
		total = total + Value
			if Value ~= 0 then 
			--print(Variable.. " - ".. Value, total)
	end
end

print("Total watts = " ..total)

local html = "<html><head>" ..
                     "</head>" ..
                     "<body>" ..
                     "<b>" ..
                     tostring(total) .. '</b>' ..
                     "</body></html>"
    
	return html, "text/html"

Hi all,

Is this even possible to do ?

If so, does anyone have any ideas / suggestions on how to do it ? Many thanks

therealdb

@parkerc you should move your end at line 33 to be the last, otherwise the function will not include the rest of your code.

parkerc

Thanks so much @therealdb - Such a silly mistake, for some reason I was thinking it would run the whole piece of code, when i should have realised it will only run the function part, as that’s all that’s being called! Doh !

.

parkerc

Ok, perhaps I spoke too soon as that’s created other errors - but at least I know where to focus my attention for now..

parkerc

Sorted ! - thanks again @therealdb , I had to break it up over two functions in the end - but it works a treat !
