Invalid ternary operator. HTTP PUT

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
This is my first piston, Ive looked a couple of threads but nothing I’ve tried helped. I’ve messed around with some {} and back slashes, but no dice, i keep getting the same error

2) What is the expected behaviour?
It should send the command successfully

3) What is happening/not happening?
Nothing is happening, I just receive the “Invalid ternary operator.” error. I KNOW it’ll be a simple fix, i just have no idea.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]

You are on the right track of trying to escape the brackets with a backslash. This actually works best if it is placed in the value field rather than an expression box.

\{ "DA" : \{"amOn" : true,"tempTarget" : 22 \} \}

should work when placed in the value field.

I don’t think he’s doing ternary operation, it’s the formatting of the expression that is confusing webcore.

Thanks so much guys! I didn’t realise there was a difference between choosing expression and value That with adding the backslashes sorted it out! instant success! Now that that’s solved, onto bigger and better things, and one step closer to the reliance on IFTTT.

Awesome, glad it worked. (Could have used the expression box but you would have had to wrap the entire string in quotes. My brain has just always associated Value with text)
