Using webCoRE to create an interface to another unsupported hub system (QwikSwitch) / Parsing data

#21

Hmm, you mean like

deviceStates = 123456:0,234567:1 etc?

#22

Yip, like that. My understanding is that I have to put the cleaned up data into a variable so that I can extract the status of each device from there. Once Iā€™ve done that, I will write the status of a device, to another variable. Iā€™ll have a variable for each physical device containing the status of the device.

Hmm, Iā€™m getting a stray comma in the outputā€¦ need to fix that.

Edit: I uploaded a modified oneā€¦ hopefully the output looks easier to read. 8 secs to process all thatā€¦ hmm, how to speed it up.

Aha, I thought it had to be something like that, but I lack the programming skills.

Thanks a million! Really appreciate your assistance.

This was fun, learning experience for me also. Iā€™m curious how to use this to update ST virtual devices also. Hmm

#26

Iā€™m not sure what Iā€™ll use to trigger the piston, but Iā€™ll at least set it up to run every 5 minutes to check for changes.
The idea is basically to set up the piston like this: IF variable A (i.e. the variable containing the states of a QwikSwitch device) change from 0 to 1, then turn Virtual Switch A ON (and the other way around.) Iā€™ve set up one example and it seems to be working fine.
I still have to work out the logic of how many pistons Iā€™ll use to keep the actual QwikSwitch and ST Virtual Switches in sync in both directions. (If a device is turned on from the QwikSwitch side, the update in the ST direction will probably be slow, i.e. when the piston runs every 5 minutes e.gā€¦ I donā€™t think there is a way to get the Qwikswitch hub to trigger the piston if the status of a QS device change e.gā€¦ The most obvious solution is to schedule the piston to run every x minutes, or if a QwikSwitch device is turned on via an ST Virtual Switch)
