[Solved] ESPEASY (>=120) and _C022 (was _C009) Pimatic RestAPI

---

Hi,
I had 2 ESPeasy configs running on a self compiled R107 with (at that time) the _C009 pimatic RestAPI plugin. That worked fine.
I thought it was about time to upgrade my ESPEasys so I downloaded from github the master branch (R131) and playground branch and discovered that the _C009 plugin was renamed to _C022 due to the new FHEM HTTP plugin.
I downloaded the R120 from sourceforge to get the new libraries and update the esp8266 library to the new stable 2.30.

The R131 dev version compiled fine with the _C022 plugin and I used the OTA upload method to load it to one of my ESPEasy. The ESPEasy as such works fine but I don’t get values anymore in Pimatic.
So I compiled the stabe R120 with the _C022 plugin and uploaded that over OTA to my esp8266. Also that one as suchworked fine but didn’t send value to my pimatic.
Finally doing an upload via usb didn’t change it either. The ESPEasy functions as such but the values do not arrive in pimatic.

Anyone got a clue?

(And of course: I do not longer have my previously compiled R107 bin anymore)

Edit: I tried with Arduino 1.6.5-RC5 and the new 1.6.12. That didn’t make a difference either.

So I downloaded the stable R108 from sourceforge, added the _C022 plugin, switched back to the libraries for that version and compiled it and load it via OTA onto my ESPEasy.

Voila! Everything is working again.

Now lets analyze what broke the pimatic RestAPI plugin “sometime” between 108 and 120.

@wutu: I did see thay you updated the plugin 3 days ago (21 Sept. and committed 22 Sept). I assume you tested it. Against what version of the development branch did you test it?

And to continue answering my own question

The fix was extremely easy to do so I just created a pull request for it.

Note: As of R114 ESPEasy requires the new ESP8266 core library version 230. It also changed their internal library structure.
So use @wutu’s version if you are on release <R114, and use the github version if you are on releases >= 114.

Note2: My pull request has not been added yet to the branch. If you absolutely need it you can get it from my github. That one and this note2 will be removed as soon as the pull request has been added.
