I’m a bit old school, I still use Prowl with my Veras - https://www.prowlapp.com/

Here’s some code examples on how to use it.


function my_escape (s)
    s = string.gsub(s, " ", "+")
    return s
end

function my_prowl (appl, event, description)
    local prowl_url      = "https://api.prowlapp.com/publicapi/add?apikey="
        .. "put-your-api-code-here"
        .. "&application=" .. my_escape(appl)
        .. "&event="         .. my_escape(event)
        .. "&description=" .. my_escape(description)
        .. "&priority=-1"
        .. "&url=https://www.google.co.uk/"
    luup.inet.wget(prowl_url)
end

my_prowl ("Vera Home Controller", "Testing code", "this could any description")

Or something all in one..


luup.inet.wget("https://api.prowlapp.com/publicapi/add?apikey=Your-api-key-goes-here&application=Test+Event&event=Armed+Notification&description=The+DSC+alarm+system+has+been+armed&priority=1")

I’m sure there is a better/more polished way to do this, but this remains one of my go to report urls on Vera.

local d, n
local file = io.open("/www/sb.html", "w")
   file:write("<head> <meta http-equiv='refresh' content='30' /> </head>\n")
   file:write("<style>.custom { font-size: 1em; font-family: Gill Sans Extrabold, sans-serif; padding:5px; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid black; }</style><table class=custom><tr class=custom><th class=custom>Security Sensor</th><th class=custom>Last Tripped</th></tr>\n")

local tt = {}
for n,d in pairs(luup.devices) do

    if d.category_num == 4 then
    -- local lasttrip = tonumber(luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1", "LastTrip", n) or 0,10)
    local lasttrip = tonumber(luup.variable_get ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1", "LastTrip", n) or os.time())
    local timeString = os.date(" %Y/%m/%d - %X", lasttrip)
    
    if lasttrip > 0 then
        table.insert(tt, { devnum=n, last=lasttrip, ltime=timeString })
    end
  end
end

table.sort(tt, function(a,b) return a.last > b.last end) -- sort highest to lowest

for n,d in ipairs(tt) do
    
   file:write("<tr class=custom><td class=custom>" .. luup.devices[d.devnum].description .. "</td><td class=custom>".. d.ltime .. "</td></tr>\n")

    print (
    d.ltime ..
   ' : ' .. luup.devices[d.devnum].description .. " Sensor was last tripped")
end
file:write("</table>\n")
file:close()

Thanks - this is good timing as I’m at the point where I need to replace both the vacuum cleaner and also our lawn mower , and the robot option look very attractive in both areas

Sharing the love...

As I have a number of foscam cameras around the house, using their API I created the following bit of code to set to retrieve any settings across all of them, to keep them in sync.

This one gets the device name from each of them. If anyone has any variations or ways to improve the bit of code please let me know..

local url = require("socket.url")
local URL = "http://" 
local username = "admin" 
local password = "password" 
local cmd = "getDevName"

-- /cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevName&usr=admin&pwd=

local foscamsIPs = {
    { NO=1, IP="192.168.102.165:88", LOCATION="conservatory"}, 
    { NO=2, IP="192.168.102.38:80", LOCATION="boiler room"},
    { NO=3, IP="192.168.102.223:88", LOCATION="Living room"},
	{ NO=4, IP="192.168.102.245:88", LOCATION="front room"},
	{ NO=5, IP="192.168.102.104:88", LOCATION="kitchen"},
}

for k,v in pairs(foscamsIPs) do
  -- Read each value.
  local update = URL .. v["IP"] .. "/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd="..cmd.."&usr="..username.."&pwd="..password
  -- do this for each reading.
  local status, result = luup.inet.wget(update)
  	print(v["LOCATION"].. " status is " ..status.. " : result is " ..result)
end````

Oh, and if I just want to pull one of the items I just specify the iso number with the snmpget command. E.g

local command = io.popen("ssh -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key pi@192.168.102.37 'snmpget -v1 -c public 10.10.10.103 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0' 2>&1")
local response = command:read("*a")
print(response)

which in this case will just return the first one.

iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Eaton 5P 1150"

Hey @rafale77

I’m going to have a play with this later, as a comprehensive usb/serial server (https://smarthome.community/topic/209/home-automation-serial-server-raspberry-pi ) is something I’ve been tinkering with for years ! (https://community.getvera.com/t/building-a-ser2net-serial-to-ip-server/173673) - wow has it really been that long .. 2012 !!!

Once announced and eventually added to Vera, Zigbee has been a capability that I’ve been keen to explore, but due to it’s lack of consistency (compared to z-wave) I’ve not invested much time.

Although; it is on my HA to-do list, - out of my league, but by opening up the zigbee on Vera, is there the potential to extend its usage with (https://github.com/koenkk/zigbee-herdsman ) and (https://github.com/koenkk/zigbee2mqtt) ?

parkerc

Thanks @toggledbits - it’s all working now !!

My last piece is back to my other post around error handling, and how I can present that better to the user, and so for that topic, I;ll revert back to that thread.. - > https://smarthome.community/topic/777/luup-error-handling/9

Hi @d868, other than creating our own image, we’ll have to wait until one’s approved and then published on Docker Hub.
If it helps you I’m planning to do the same thing with MSR as I did with Home Assistant, and create a Container Station API build guide.

Jan 23, 2021

QNAP - Installation via Container Station’s API

Rather than use the UI to build your Home Assistant Docker container, you can do it all via the command line using its API. https://qnap-dev.github.io/container-station-api/ Here’s how I did it… On any device, access it via the command line, In this situation, I’m doing it on the QNAP itself...

parkerc

Ok, I decided to dive into Robot Vaccum cleaners , so picked up an 2nd hand Roomba e5 and have also got a Deenkee arriving tomorrow (damn you Amazon and your lightening deals !!!)

Now, I obviously will want to get them both integrated into my Vera/OpenLuup world at some point, and starting with the Roomba, I’ve been trying to get Rest980 up and running (https://github.com/koalazak/rest980)..

Is anyone already using this to interface with their Roomba ?
If not, what are people using with their Roombas?

parkerc

Ok, not had much luck with the variations I tried,

One thing I did notice was that the luasec version on VeraPlus is v0.4 and the openssl version is v1.0.2

# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2l  25 May 2017

Checking the luasec guidance here, https://github.com/brunoos/luasec/wiki/LuaSec-1.0.x , that VeraPlus openSSL version supports luasec v 1.0.x ?

Without being able to install/use Luarocks, any idea how to upgrade from luasec 0.4 to 1.0.x?

parkerc

Thanks all..

Looks like curl is the way to go in situations like this..

Quick question in regards to being able to do this all in Lua on a VeraPlus, I came across the following bit of code (not sure of the origin, but i can see it specifies a certificate file, is this an option ?

require("socket")
local ssl = require("ssl")
local url = "test"

local params = {
  mode = "client",
  protocol = "tlsv1_2",
  cafile = "/path/to/downloaded/cacert.pem", --<-- added cafile parameters
  verify = "peer", --<-- changed "none" to "peer"
  options = "all",
}

local conn = socket.tcp()
conn:connect(url, 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()

parkerc

Is the lack of TLS 1.2 with Vera addressed with something like this, not sure how this works, but I assume there is a default if something is not specified ?

local _, code = https.request{
      url = url,
      protocol = "tlsv1_2",
     }
     ResetData()
     Log(" sent data status: " .. code)
return code

parkerc

Sorry, yes this is being done on my VeraPlus, with latest ‘production’ firmware 7.31..

When I run this, i get nothing back not even an error for the https call.

Print output

parkerc

Hi,

I’m sure this is not a unique question about Vera (& Lua 5.1) and I’ve seen this reference in place,, but I can’t seem to find a fix to make an https download request work..

To give you an example, the code below aims to download 2 different files, the http call works fine, returning a 200 code, but the https one doesn’t, it doesn’t return anything ?

Please could some highlight what I’m missing?

print("--------DOWNLOAD http---------")

local http = require("socket.http")
local body, code = http.request("http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CCROQ8vUEAEgFke.jpg")
print(code)
if not body then error(code) end
local f = assert(io.open('mnt/nas/webtest1.jpg', 'wb')) -- open in "binary" mode
f:write(body)
f:close()

print("--------DOWNLOAD https---------")

local https = require "ssl.https" --luasec
local body, code = https.request("https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16146313918060.jpg")
print(code)
if not body then error(code) end
local f = assert(io.open('mnt/nas/webtest2.jpg', 'wb')) -- open in "binary" mode
f:write(body)
f:close()

Hi @therealdb - many thanks for responding,

it does indeed look to just be a redirect returned, and correct, it looks like I can register any https url for it to use..

what I’m not clear on , is how I can (programmatically) make the request and also read / capture the redirect url with the authorisation code parameter they add ?

I assume part of it will be so,etching like this, but how do I capture it first ?

local code = url:match"^https://myapp%.com/callback%?code=(.-)#"

parkerc

Thanks so much @toggledbits ..

Oh well, another Vera/OpenLuup dream, dashed by reality

parkerc

Thanks again @toggledbits , and just to confirm there is no way in Lua to capture/record a url that’s returned by a server/service ? (It doesn’t need to do anything with it, just record what it is as a variable i can use )? Here is a similar requirement discussed using python..

Determining redirected URL in Python

I made a little parser using HTMLparser and I would like to know where a link is redirected. I don't know how to explain this, so please look this example: On my page I have a link on the source: ...

I also found this, which seem like it has potential ?

http://angg.twu.net/LUA/redirect.lua

parkerc

Hi @toggledbits , many thanks for responding, and i hope all is well..

Regarding the redirect domain/URL, i was wondering if the address provided could resolve locally? What if i register the localhost as the redirect url with Fitbit ? (I found the following old entry from Vera, which said Ports 22, 80, 443, 3480, and 49451 will be blocked on all the network interfaces , except the local loopback interface (localhost / 127.0.0.1).)

Other than that, as the redirect looks to be the result of an initial http.request I make, is there a way with Lua code that I can capture the URL returned by Fitbit ?
