Just wanted to add that my Vera Bridges stopped working, I can’t be sure exactly when, maybe after a reboot ? But wanted to share here as they were working fine..

The Variable for the RemotePort on both is /port_3480

Updating to :3480 fixes it..

@akbooer - not sure why this worked first and then stopped..

parkerc

Many thanks @akbooer

QQ: Should I expect to see a Trigger tile in a scene, when looking at it under the Console view (to avoid thinking there isn’t one) ? Similar to that I can see a tile under the Header and Timer options in other scenes I’ve created?

parkerc

Thanks @akbooer - to avoid confusion and to help me learn/concentrate on just your openLuup (Console) setup. How do I remove (disable ?) ALTUI so I just have the one interface?

parkerc

FYI, if I go back via the console screen to edit the same scene, it actually still doesn’t show the trigger(s). A bug ?

parkerc

Sorry if this has been covered before, just curious why triggers in openluup are not consistent..

I looked at a scene i’d created a while back via ALTUI using the Console view and noticed it didn’t show any Triggers, which was strange as it was my main front door event . So I added the door tripped trigger again, but I’ve just noticed I now how two tiggers using this view.

In ALTUI it shows this.

Thanks @akbooer,

OK to confirm, my current xxpushover.lua module has mainly global functions e.g.

function push_specific(apptoken, title, device, message, priority, url, urltitle)
	local status = https.request ( "https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" , "token="..apptoken.."&user="..usertoken.."&device="..device.."&message="..message.."&title="..title.."&priority="..priority.."&timestamp="..os.time().."&url="..url.."&url_title="..urltitle)

luup.log(" <<<< - xxpushover module loaded - >>>>> ")

I should change these to local functions, and add the return table to the end..

local function push_specific(apptoken, title, device, message, priority, url, urltitle)
	local status = https.request ( "https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" , "token="..apptoken.."&user="..usertoken.."&device="..device.."&message="..message.."&title="..title.."&priority="..priority.."&timestamp="..os.time().."&url="..url.."&url_title="..urltitle)

return {
  push_file = push_file,
  push_basic = push_basic,
  push_link = push_link,
  push_html = push_html,
  push_mono = push_mono,
  push_specific = push_specific,
}

luup.log(" <<<< - xxpushover module loaded - >>>>> ")

It’s been a while since I looked at openLuup as it had been running nicely and quietly in the background doing some basic tasks. With my VeraPlus looking like it’s finally succumbing to old age, I want to shift a number of the global module I have over to openLuup.

To do this, I have added the files (example would be xxpushover.lua to the cmh-ludl folder and the following to the startup

require “xxpushover”

The xxpushover.lua file itself starts with the following..

module("xxpushover", package.seeall)

And I always have a line in these files to allow me to check it’s been read in the start up related logs, which in this case it is..

The challenge I’m having is that when I try to call any of the functions within the module, it returns the following error..

"[string "ALTUI - LuaRunHandler"]:1: attempt to index global 'xxpushover' (a nil value)”

I’m no doubt missing something obvious, can anyone help me find out what it is ? Many thanks

Hi @akbooer how can I help you ‘develop’ the console UI ?

As you mentioned AJAX-Style calls earlier, which openLuup files and associated programming language can I look into ?

parkerc

Thanks @akbooer , I’ll make those updates..

For me, the console is a great little compact dashboard, which for sensors provides some nice addional information.

If I can help/test anything let me know.

If/when you have time, it’lll be nice if the console could have its own Favicon assigned (http://www.maxi-pedia.com/Favicon+how+to+create)

parkerc

That’s great news, many thanks @akbooer (ALTUI never worked properly on my iPad, so It’s nice to know there are options) and I love the simplicity of the console...

As I’m running the openLuup docker instance (@vwout ) how do I benefit from this recent update, are there specific file I can update ?

Will console become the default UI now, rather than ALTUI..(how best do we switch)?

Also not sure if you are aware, but the ‘bypass’ option on the console view appears as a power symbol (example below)..

parkerc

Hi @akbooer

Just bringing this over as suggested..

I’ve started to use the console view a lot more, mainly for it’s look and simplicity , but I noticed it does not do any live updates compared to ALTUI, you have to do a full browser reload. Is that by design, or is mine not working?

Also if I want to go strait to the console view, rather than into ALTUI, I recall seeing something abut altering that in the guide by for the life of me I can’t find it. Is it possible to do, if so how would I do that..

You suggested this was something you were looking at ? Also you said You don't need a "full browser reload", just click on the display menu item to refresh the screen. - what do you mean by `display menu?

parkerc

Hi

Just wondering if it’s possible when writing plugins to set if the text shown via DisplayLine1/2 can be left, right or centre aligned ?

Managed to get there in the end, posting here to help others..

local http = require("socket.http")
local ltn12 = require("ltn12")

To provide some additional information, the following Curl command sent to httpbin.org/post..

local url_open = 'curl -u "username:password" -F "title=Companies House File" -F "correspondent=12" -F "document=@/mnt/nas/10.pdf" http://httpbin.org/post'
local command = io.popen(url_open)
local result = command:read("*a")
print(result)

Returns the following, which looks good…

{
"args": {}, 
"data": "", 
"files": {
"document": "data:application/octet-stream;base64,JVBERi0xLjMNJeLjz9MNCjIyNyAwIG9iag08PCANL0xpbmVhcml6ZWQgMSANL08gMjMxIA0vSCBbIDIzNTAgODc5IF<REDACTED>T5dDT4+DXN0YXJ0eHJlZg0xNzMNJSVFT0YN"

}, 
"json": null, 
"origin": "82.30.93.28", 
"url": "http://httpbin.org/post"
}

Then using the following Lua code to try and achieve the same thing..

local http = require("socket.http")
local ltn12 = require("ltn12")
local mime = require("mime")
local lfs = require("lfs")

local username = "username"
local password = "password"

local httpendpoint = 'http://httpbin.org/post'
local filepath = "/mnt/nas/10.pdf"
local file = io.open(filepath, "rb")
local contents = file:read( "*a" )

-- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3508338/what-is-the-boundary-in-multipart-form-data

local boundary = "-----BoundaryePkpFF7tjBAqx29L"
local send = "--"..boundary..
            "\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; title='Companies House File'\r\n"
			.."----"..boundary..

-- Execute request (returns response body, response code, response header)

local resp = {}
local body, code, headers, status = http.request {
    url = httpendpoint,
    method = 'POST',
    headers = {
		["Authorization"] = "Basic " .. (mime.b64(username ..":" .. password)),
		["Content-Length"] = lfs.attributes(filepath, 'size'),
		['Content-Type'] = "multipart/form-data; boundary="..boundary,
    },
   -- source = ltn12.source.file( io.open(filepath,"rb") ),
   source = ltn12.source.file( io.open(send) ),
    sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp)
}

print(body, code, headers, status)
print(table.concat(resp))

if headers then 
    for k,v in pairs(headers) do 
        print(k,v) 
    end
end

I get this returned..

It’s clear I’m not getting the content sent in the right format/structure, but I cannot find any guidance that clearly explains how to construct a multi-part form submissions via Lua code..

Hoping someone can help…

Hi

I’ve been investing a lot of time recently trying to digitise everything I can, and my current adventure is with all my paper documents.

My tool of choice is Paperless-ngx, which so far is an amazing open source solution, and highly recommended if you’re interest in such a thing…

Such a move to Paperless would not be complete without some form of integration into Vera / openLuup, and thankfully it has a nice Rest API (https://paperless-ngx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html) I can use. So far I’ve been able to make use the GET requests, to provide document counts etc., but it’s the mutipart/form data piece where I’m struggling..

The Curl command to upload a document, is as follows

curl -H "Authorization: Basic Y2hyaXM62tgbsgjunotmeY2hyaXNob3N0aW5n" -F "title=Companies House File 10" -F "correspondent=12" -F "document=@/mnt/nas/10.pdf" http://192.168.102.134:8777/api/documents/post_document/

But, I’d like to know how to do this with Lua code, more just to help me in my Lua learning curve, and what I thought would be reasonably straight forward thing to do, has turned out to be quite the opposite Sending a multipart form data submission via http.request, is not as straight forward as I hoped. If anyone has any time to help, I’d appreciate some guidance on what I’m missing with the following, as based on the feedback, it looks like it not seeing the file (which I think I’ve confirmed by trying to sending both the curl and Lua commands to httbin.org ) …

local http = require("socket.http")
local ltn12 = require("ltn12")
local mime = require("mime")
local lfs = require("lfs")

local username = "username"
local password = "password"

local httpendpoint = 'http://httpbin.org/post'
local filepath = "/mnt/nas/10.pdf"
local file = io.open(filepath, "rb")
local contents = file:read( "*a" )

-- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3508338/what-is-the-boundary-in-multipart-form-data

local boundary = "-----BoundaryePkpFF7tjBAqx29L"
local send = "--"..boundary..
            "\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; title='Companies House File'\r\n"
			.."----"..boundary..
			"\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; document="..filepath..
            "\r\nContent-type: application/pdf".."\r\n"

   source = ltn12.source.file( io.open(send) ),
    sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp)
}

print(body, code, headers, status)

    for k,v in pairs(headers) do 
        print(k,v) 
    end
end

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.
