Nothing found about how to get Pimatic variable values to your php website on the forum yet. This will probably be interesting for someone.

   curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://demo:demo@demo.pimatic.org/api/variables/variable-set.temperature");
   curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

   $result = curl_exec ($curl);// curl to a variable
   curl_close ($curl);

   print $result;
?>

<b>Single value from weather.temperature:</b></br>
<?php
   $curl = curl_init();
   curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://demo:demo@demo.pimatic.org/api/variables/variable-set.temperature");

I could not get the standard script in the first post to work either, but the user/password combi in the url itself is not advised. I changed the php statement in the top script slightly. I suppose it differs slightly on every php implementation.
First of all: you need to install php5-curl as well: sudo apt-get install php5-curl
and restart your apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
for the single “get value” part (2nd half):

   $curl = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://192.168.1.128/api/variables/woonkamer-temperatuur");
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user:password");
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   $result = curl_exec($curl);// curl to a variable
   curl_close($curl);

    $result = json_decode($result, true);// decode to associative array
    $result = $result['variable']['value'];//pick desired value

    print "Temperature: ".$result;

Where user:password is of course the real username and password for your pimatic access.
The first “get all” part is equal.

@sweebee: Very nice thermostat. My wife likes it this simple.
