[Solved] Send URL with temperature every hour

---

Hello,

I hope someboby can help me. I want to sent a sensortemp every hour to an URL. The sensor is: $temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur
and the URL something like this: http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur

I have tried it with a rule, but I don’t know the right commands.

Thanks Andre

already tried with curl?
something like this :
IF $temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur changes THEN execute "sudo curl http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur"
(shell execution plugin must be installed!)

you should also check the api of the middleware / service you are trying to push your data to. maybe there’s another way to push some data over.

just to give an idea for a maybe similar project:

Thanks for the link, but I want to log it from pimatic

Thank you for your examples, that helps me but I have a problem… curl don’t works it sends every time “1” to the database not the real temperature.
wget works but I have to call the URL in questionmarks like this:

execute “wget -O /dev/null “http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur””

but pimatic allows only:

execute “wget -O /dev/null http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur”

so wget don`t work…

Have anyone an idee how I can solve this?

Thanks Andre

try to escape the " like that

... THEN execute "wget -O /dev/null \"http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur\""

@leader21

Yes, that is the right code!!! Here is my rule:

IF everv 60 minutes THEN execute "wget -O /dev/null \"http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur\""

There is now only one small problem… every time this rule runs it gives this error:

error [pimatic-shell-execute]: --2015-08-27 18:51:00-- http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=24.399999618530273 Auflösen des Hostnamen »xyz.de (xyz.de)«... xxx.169.xxx.93, 2a01:238:20a:202:1093:: Verbindungsaufbau zu xyz.de (xyz.de)|xxx.169.xxx.93|:80... verbunden. HTTP-Anforderung gesendet, warte auf Antwort... 200 OK Länge: nicht spezifiziert [application/json] In »»/dev/null«« speichern. 0K 179K=0s 2015-08-27 18:51:00 (179 KB/s) - »»/dev/null«« gespeichert [26]

Is there any way to elininate this error?

Thanks Andre

please try

"wget \"http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur\" >/dev/null/ 2>&1"

@SLiX

Now comes this error:

error [pimatic]: Error on evaluation of rule condition of rule wohnzimmertemperatur-nach-vz: Command failed: /bin/sh: 1: cannot create /dev/null/: Is a directory

Ok, there was a “/” to much.
So it’s works:

IF everv 60 minutes THEN execute "wget \"http://xyz.de/middleware.php/data/e0-4b4c-11e5-b81b-e9c83d6bea53.json?operation=add&value=$temp-wohnzimmer.temperatur\" >/dev/null/ 2>&1"

Thanks too all for help to find the solution!
