    • Luup : Error Handling

      parkerc

      Hi,

      Please could people share how they are presenting and handling errors in their Vera / OpenLuup plugins, I’ve tried to look through various Implementation files, but very few seem to have anything, other than perhaps a luup.task (which for some reason doesn’t work for me) ?

      Below is the startup and check/validation functions for a plugin I’m working on..

      function checkIPPowerSetUp(lul_device) log("Checking if parent device is configured correctly...") ipAddress = luup.devices[lul_device].ip -- check if parent device has an ip address assigned if ipAddress == nil or ipAddress == "" then -- if not stop and present error message luup.task('ERROR: IP Address is missing',2,'IPPower',-1) debug("ERROR: IP Address is missing " ..ipAddress.. " unable to progress") return false else -- if one is provided, present success message luup.task('IP Address for IPPower 9258 present, setup continues',4,'IPPower',-1) debug("IPPower StartUp activated - Device #" .. lul_device .. " now creating children") createChildIPPowerOutlets(lul_device) luup.call_delay("IPPowerPoller", 5) return true end end function IPPowerStartup(lul_device) -- set attributes for parent device luup.attr_set( "name", "IPPower 9258", lul_device) luup.attr_set( "category_num", "3", lul_device) luup.attr_set( "subcategory_num", "1", lul_device) luup.variable_set("urn:nodecentral-net:serviceId:IPPower1", "Icon", 1, lul_device) luup.variable_set("urn:nodecentral-net:serviceId:IPPower1", "PluginVersion", PV, lul_device) checkIPPowerSetUp(lul_device) log("Start up, Parent device created...") end </functions> <startup>IPPowerStartup</startup>

      What’s the best way to present errors to the user, and make iot clear what they need to do ?

      LUA Scripts for the eZlo Vera Platform (UI7). Contribute to dbochicchio/vera development by creating an account on GitHub.

      Under certain circumstances (thanks @DesT!) I see that it's causing a luup reload infinite cycle, because child devices are being created, then deleted. Specifically, I see this in the logs:

      The devices are created (look at line 357/410), but when I call luup.chdev.sync, they got deleted. Any hints? Thanks

    • Vera StaticJSON Help - Showing a button’s status/selection (in/out) in the UI ?

      parkerc

      Hi

      I’m putting the finishing touches to a HDMI Matrix plugin, and while I have it working well - I can’t find anything on the Vera/MIOS wikis that tells me how I can show if a UI button is pressed or not (to reflect a input choice that is selected)

      Here’s a screenshot of the child outputs I’ve created for the Matrix switcher. (The plugin creates a parent device and then 4 children to show the Matrix Outputs - parent is not shown - and the idea is that’s you select the input number for the respective output)

      BB5B6001-294E-4AE9-A095-D2E639F56B9C.jpeg

      Here is an extract of the button element in the associated JSON file used for the child devices..

      { "ControlGroup": "1", "ControlType": "button", "top": "0", "left": "0", "Label": { "lang_tag": "Input1", "text": "Input1" }, "Display": { "Top": 60, "Left": 50, "Width": 75, "Height": 20 }, "Command": { "Service": "urn:nodecentral-net:serviceId:SYMatrix1", "Action": "SYCall", "Parameters": [ { "Name": "action", "Value": "I1" } ] } },

      The associated command calls the parent implementation file SYCall - (The value “I1” relates to a element of the URL that needs to be called to select that associated input)

      <action> <serviceId>urn:nodecentral-net:serviceId:SYMatrix1</serviceId> <name>SYCall</name> <run> SYMatrix.SYCall(lul_device, lul_settings.action, lul_settings) </run> </action>

      And then the Lua file (L_****) has holds the SYCall function

      function SYCall (deviceNo, action, settings) ….. end

    • URL - /data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunLua&Code=

      parkerc

      I’ve just started to have a play with iOS Shortcut and one of my test cases is to see if I can do the following

      select a a file (.lua or .txt) on my iPad extract the entire script/contents encode the data obtained append the encode content to the end of the RunLua action. call the URL http://myIP/data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunLua&Code=

      Below is a screenshot of the workflow I have built in Shortcuts, which seems pretty straight forward, and it does generate a encoded URL, however the actual request itself does not complete. I get an ‘OK’ response back eventually, but the code is not actioned, and the logs don’t seem to tell me anything..

      FAB8DB5F-9003-4624-BCF3-8F536A660D21.jpeg

      The code I’m extracting from the Lua file works fine in the test Lua window, so i’m not sure what’s occurring differently, between the two routes, maybe it’s the encryption being used ?..

      Is anyone able to help me test this, and see if they can generate a long / multi line RunLua encoded URL (if not via Shortcut, then by some that can help me with the root cause to then address that in Shortcut

    • Add-on - Aviosys IPPower 9258

      parkerc

      Hi

      Picking up from another thread this is to focus on the creation of the 4 key elements of a new Plugin for my Aviosys IPPower 9258, which are quite old, and I don’t believe are made anymore, but they seem to have a simple http api interface to cut my teeth on with a plugin.

      First the device file, which is to support the creation/set up of the device, and here I explain what it is, tell Vera what the implementation file and .json file is, and also leverage the pre-existing Switch and HA capabilities..

      Device File - D_IPPower.xml

      <?xml version="1.0"?> <root xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device-1-0"> <specVersion> <major>1</major> <minor>0</minor> </specVersion> <device> <deviceType>urn:nodecentral-net:device:IPPower:1</deviceType> <staticJson>D_IPPower1.json</staticJson> <manufacturer>Aviosys</manufacturer> <modelDescription>IPPowerSwitch</modelDescription> <modelName>IPPower9258</modelName> <handleChildren>1</handleChildren> <implementationList> <implementationFile>I_IPPower1.xml</implementationFile> </implementationList> <serviceList> <service> <serviceType>urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:SwitchPower:1</serviceType> <serviceId>urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1</serviceId> <SCPDURL>S_SwitchPower1.xml</SCPDURL> </service> <service> <serviceType>urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:service:HaDevice:1</serviceType> <serviceId>urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HaDevice1</serviceId> <SCPDURL>S_HaDevice1.xml</SCPDURL> </service> </serviceList> </device> </root>

      Next it is the Implementation file, which thanks to the feedback on this forum, will focus on a specific Lua file, where all the code will be, the only thing I need to add here are the Actions (what do I want it to be able to do etc.)

      Implementation file - I_IPPower.xml

      <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- I_IPPower.xml; Vera/openLuup "IPPower 9258" Plug-in V1.1 Nov 2021 --> <implementation> <settings> <protocol>crlf</protocol> </settings> <files>L_IPPower1.lua</files> <startup>IPPowerStartup</startup> <actionList> <action> <serviceId>urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1</serviceId> <name>SetTarget</name> <job> local url = "http://" .. ipAddress .. "/set.cmd?user=admin+pass=12345678+cmd=setpower+" .. luup.devices[lul_device].id .. "=" .. lul_settings.newTargetValue luup.log("Sending command " .. url) local status, data = luup.inet.wget(url) if (data) then debug("Data received = " .. data) else log("No Data received !! ") end local value = string.match(data, luup.devices[lul_device].id.."=(%d)") if (value) then luup.variable_set("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1", "Status", value, lul_device) else log("Value returned is empty") end </job> </action> </actionList> </implementation>

      The other two files D_IPPower.json, and L_IPPower.lua are still being worked on so i will add later …

    • Lua : storage.set , storage.get

      parkerc

      Hi

      I’ve seen storage.set and storage.get used in some Lua code posted on the internet, where they need to store/retrieve somethings, e.g.

      iv = encdec.base64dec(challenge_Key)     storage.set('IV', iv)

      and then later on within another function I see..

      iv = storage.get('IV')

      It makes sense how this is meant to work, and it seems such a simple/elegant feature - hence I was wondering, is there an equivalent in Vera/OpenLuup? As I’d naturally go to use luup.variable_set and luup.variable_get - but that requires a device to be used etc.

    • Get your Alexa replies to the device you've asked them to with VeraAlexa plug-in

      therealdb

      So, I was messing with my Alexa routines and ha bridge, and I want to share something very cool you could do with the ability to get the last Alexa that heard your command. I mentioned it a couple of times on the old place, but Vera's OS is missing the jq package, but openLuup could have it installed.

      Basically, just execute -lastalexa with my VeraAlexa plug-in:

      local lastAlexa = luup.call_action("urn:bochicchio-com:serviceId:VeraAlexa1", "RunCommand", {Command="-lastalexa"}, 666)

      Then use it in your scene, to dynamically generate your TTS response with the device you've asked your question seconds before!

      local temperature = 25 -- get it from your sensor luup.call_action("urn:bochicchio-com:serviceId:VeraAlexa1", "Say", {Text="Ok, outise temperature is " .. temperature .. " degree", Volume=50, GroupZones= lastAlexa, Repeat = 2}, 666

      Very cool indeed 🙂

    • Luup : Hue Energy (watts) Calculator

      parkerc

      Hi all

      I’ve been trying to use the Hue api and some of my Lua knowledge to create an energy calculator based on the brightness and wattage of specific models of hue bulb registered on the hub

    • Something smarter than string.format for user-defined patterns?

      therealdb

      In my Virtual HTTP plugin I have patterns that could be specified to dynamically compose HTTP URLs based on current values. So, if you enter
      http://myip/color?v=%s

      it gets replaced with the current color. It's very handy when having more parameters, or if your parameter is in a different position.

      The problem is that from time to time, there are users with legitimate % in their URLs (since it's the escape char in URLs, after all) and this is causing weird behavior or crash.

      So, I want to find something smarter to support both.
      Any hints here is appreciated.

    • List of plugins available at the Alternative App Store

      A

      The plugins listed here are available via the Alternative App Store. The app store becomes accessible via a new menu item in the Alternative User Interface once configured.

      Both the Alternative User Interface (AltUI) and AltAppStore (AltAppStore) plugins need to be installed on Vera to access the store. With openLuup; this is all "automatically" set up and ready to go as part of the openLuup suite.

      The Alternative App Store can be found here.

      Publishing a plugin in the store is pretty easy. First your plugin code must be available in GitHub. Publish it, using the Publish command in the AltAppStore web page. You need to enter the salient information and it's ready to go.

      Plugin icons can be stored on GitHub eg like so. After a "few days" the raw json describing the plugin appears here.

      Vera 3 users should note the store will not work, as Vera 3 doesn't have the https capability required to access GitHub. However, the apps can always be downloaded from GitHub and manually installed.

      For those just interested in what the store contains; refer to the list below - as of 2021 July 27 there were about 75 plugins available:

      E1cid/Node-red-Vera E1cid/Node-red-Vera

      Node-red flows for Vera. Contribute to E1cid/Node-red-Vera development by creating an account on GitHub.

      The speed is fast sub 1 second responses.

      Requirements -
      node-red.
      alexa.
      node-red-contrib-amazon-echo(local Hue devices).
      openluup or Vera (or any controller via http requests).

      Capabilities-
      Binary switch.
      dimming switch.
      rgb switch.
      Run scenes.

      Each alexa device node is configured in the topic of the amazon-echo device node -
      (device number#type of switch)
      bnary - 123#binary.
      dimming - 123#dimming.
      rgb - 123#colour (W/D is default 310 to adjust colour temp add value to end e.g. 123#colour#300
      scene - 123#scene#124 (123 on 124 off. 124 can be omitted).

      Enter the ip of your controller in the http request block.
      Just copy code and import into Node-red

    • How to parse JSON path in LUA?

      therealdb

      Hi,

      I'm working on new features for my Virtual Devices Plug-in. One of the things I want to add is the ability to poll an endpoint to get power consumption.

      So, I want to store the URL and the JSON path in a variable, but I'm confused on how to dynamically parse JSON paths in LUA.

      I have something like this in a string variable

      data.meters[1].power

      and I have to extract the corresponding value from the JSON I got over HTTP.

      Any suggestion is very appreciated. Thanks.

      I'm trying to write a sensor similar to this:

      home-assistant/core home-assistant/core

      :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first - home-assistant/core

      I've already translated it to LUA, but I'm getting strange values. Maybe it's because it's not that cool yet.

      Anyone has already done something similar? I have outside and inside sensors and I want to run my de-humidifier based on certain conditions. I want to avoid condensation on the large windows. Last year I ran it based on a fixed threshold, but I want to optimize this if possible.

      I have a couple of calendar URLs I’m trying to call, and both work when i enter the URL into the browser, however when I try to call them via Lua and http(s).request, only one of them works ? Please could someone help me understand why, and what needs to be done differently to make the other one work ?

      local socket = require 'socket'
      local http = require "socket.http"
      local ssl = require 'ssl'
      local https = require 'ssl.https'
      
      local calendarUria = "https://ics.fixtur.es/v2/ipswich-town.ics"
      local calendarUrib = "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/en-gb.uk%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics"
      
      print("Fixtur.es Football (URL A) returns the following?")
      local responseBodya, responseCodea, responseHeadersa = https.request(calendarUria)
      print(responseBodya, responseCodea, responseHeadersa)
      
      print("Google UK Holidays (URL B) returns the following?")
      local responseBodyb, responseCodeb, responseHeadersb = https.request(calendarUrib)
      print(responseBodyb, responseCodeb, responseHeadersb)
      

      If you run the code above, only the second Google (URL `B) returns anything..

        Arhhh there must be ‘redirects’ occuring…

        And looking up http.request, it has a feature for that, which I’ve never used before, has anyone reading this ?

        http.request{
          url = string,
          [sink = LTN12 sink,]
          [method = string,]
          [headers = header-table,]
          [source = LTN12 source],
          [step = LTN12 pump step,]
          [proxy = string,]
          [redirect = boolean,]
          [create = function]
        }

          Checking the URL via Wheregoes.com, it suggests there are no redirects occuring, so that is perhaps not it..

            If you're doing this in Vera firmware...

            You may be dealing with the server demanding a level of encryption that the libraries cannot provide. This has been an increasingly common issue for many plugins, and Google was leading the charge in dropping weaker ciphers. In some of my own plugins, I've had to offer curl as an alternative mechanism, because the built-in curl uses different libraries and can be a workaround if the Lua libraries aren't cutting it.

            It's also the case that the CA chain is now out of date on all Vera firmware, and as old CA certificates are now expiring, and Vera/EZlo has not yet produced firmware with upgraded CA stores, you could be running into a certificate validation failure due to the outdated or expired data. The -k on curl is a possible cure for this. In the Lua SSL library, you can set verify to none in your request table.

            The issues have affected, in addition to my plugins (SiteSensor, Reactor for Vera, etc.) the Honeywell and MyQ plugins, and I think GCal3 has already had one round of retrofit as a result of Google's earlier changes. It's going to get worse, not better, unless they update the firmware (or we do...)

              Thanks good to know., and ironically Google is the url that is working 🙂

              Ok, that verify and none option sounds an interesting approach. Does this look like a potential solution ?

              I'm trying to make a request on lua with certificate. Recently I've gotten a COMODO SSL. I've tried many tutorials on the internet, but to no avail. I found this blog's proposal very interesting...

              I’m really intrigued by your last point, how can we update the firmware ?

                More complicated than you need, probably. Setting verify to none works in most cases, at the expense of not detected a MITM attack (the likelihood of that is extremely low in my judgement, but don't substitute my judgement here for yours).

                I have a build environment working for the version of the OS they are using, and I can build updated packages, sometimes. In a few cases, though, that entire world is just so old that building packages from current source into the old environment just doesn't work. But I have built an updated openssl and LuaSec and had some success with them. Really, Ezlo needs to step up and make it work, but I have a strong feeling they won't, and if it comes to that, I will circle back in that direction.

                  Sadly the verify = none option didn’t work, although it did at least returned a response code/status this time, when all previous attempts were blank..

                  require("socket")
                  local ssl = require("ssl")
                  
                  -- TLS/SSL client parameters (omitted)
                  local params = {
                    mode = "client",
                    protocol = "tlsv1",
                    verify = "none",
                    options = "all",
                  }
                  
                  local conn = socket.tcp()
                  conn:connect("https://ics.fixtur.es", 443)
                  
                  -- TLS/SSL initialization
                  conn = ssl.wrap(conn, params)
                  conn:dohandshake()
                  
                  conn:send("GET / HTTP/1.1\n\n")
                  local line, err = conn:receive()
                  print(err or line)
                  conn:close()
                  

                  It returned : HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

                  I have a build environment working for the version of the OS they are using, and I can build updated packages, sometimes. In a few cases, though, that entire world is just so old that building packages from current source into the old environment just doesn't work.

                  I think you’re right, all their focus is on the new ezlo firmware, unless they refocus, or they open Vera up to the community to enhance, then I guess what we have from them is the best it gets 😞

                  That said I’m now very intrigued by your ‘build’, I looked into openwrt and potential (re)build options and new packages, but that ended up being pretty damn complex route for me, especially considering all the things that have to be factored in, such as the kernel and processor (mips) etc.

                  Based one where I am now, I think my only option is to explore the more complex Lua coding route, and present a certificate myself with the following code.

                  But what cert / cipher details should I use ?

                  local protect = socket.protect

                    @parkerc said in Lua : http(s) request, works on some URLs, but not all ? But all work via the browser..:

                    It returned : HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

                    If you are getting this far, the certificate and cipher issues are behind you, and it is now complaining about the content of the request. Since you are doing the request raw to a socket rather than using the http (or https) module, your request isn't complete; it's missing required headers. I'd start by using the http(s) module to make the request from this point.

                    Based one where I am now, I think my only option is to explore the more complex Lua coding route, and present a certificate myself with the following code.

                    I'm not sure that gains you anything. It may not improve the situation, either. The correct real fix here is to get the Vera's CA store up to date.

                      Thanks @toggledbits , you actually beat me to it, I thought the 400 error was sign, so I tried this variation of http.request I had on file, and it worked !!

                      The ltn12.sink.table seemed to do the trick - by any chance do you know why ?

                      local http = require("ssl.https")
                      local ltn12 = require "ltn12"
                      r = {} -- init empty table
                      local res, code, headers, status = http.request{
                      url="https://ics.fixtur.es/v2/ipswich-town.ics",
                      sink = ltn12.sink.table( r )
                      }
                      print("status=".. tostring(status))
                      print("response= ".. table.concat( r, "" ) )

                        You're making a request to a different URL (different paths in the URL, specifically -- the previous request you showed had no path at all), which I'm sure had more (everything) to do with the difference in response than the ltn12.sink.table, which is nothing the client passes to the server, it's all just client-side handling for the response.

                          Sorry @toggledbits, , I’m not sure what you mean, putting the Google one to one side , both http.requests were made to the same url ""https://ics.fixtur.es/v2/ipswich-town.ics"" ?

                            @parkerc In this post the code that you posted shows:

                            local conn = socket.tcp()
                            conn:connect("https://ics.fixtur.es", 443)
                            
                            -- TLS/SSL initialization
                            conn = ssl.wrap(conn, params)
                            conn:dohandshake()
                            
                            conn:send("GET / HTTP/1.1\n\n")
                            local line, err = conn:receive()
                            print(err or line)
                            conn:close()
                            

                            That's an HTTP get on the root (/) path (not /v2/ipswich.town.ics), and without full headers. Either is enough to cause a 400 from an API endpoint.

                            Your later post:

                            local res, code, headers, status = http.request{
                            url="https://ics.fixtur.es/v2/ipswich-town.ics",
                            sink = ltn12.sink.table( r )
                            }
                            

                            That's using the full HTTP(S) module, so would be expected to have correct headers supplied by the library, and uses the longer path not used in the previous request/post. It was there you made the comment about ltn12.sink.table, which given that the request in the earlier post was both missing required headers and probably not for a valid path, and that the server is unaware of ltn12 or any handling on the client side of the response, seemed unrelated to the issue to me.

                              My apologies ; you’re totally right, I forgot I tried the root address at one point too, it was one of the addresses I looked at to see if there were any redirects going on at that address..

                              Thanks again @toggledbits , all this has been yet another learning journey for me 🙂 Admittedly it would be really nice if (one day) Vera could have an all encompassing http/web module, one that you could simply chuck any http and https request at (POST/GET), and it would know what to do and just work …
