Hello,
I've installed a little HomeGenie server and would like to move my actual monitoring structure into HomeGenie.
Actually I'm using some Arduinos in a meshed netowork (radio) to comunicate each other sensors data or send commands.
I would migrate this infrastructure without touching what already done. The central node expose a json file via web with the informations collected from the slaves.
To get temperature I need to contact the central node at a specificn URL. Then, parsing the json file I can identify which temperature is taken (from which room).
How can I:
- Get this data and show it on a Widget?
- Get this data and graph it on a time basis?
- Import old data I've already collected?
The next step will be use the same technique to send data to the same arduino to trigger some actions.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Parsing JSON data is very easy in HomeGenie, take a look at the Weather Underground or OpenWeatherData APPs.
Another simple example is my Youless Energy monitor (http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=427.0) APP.

Thank you for the answer!
I'm starting to create a new program starting from the OpenWeatherData as example. I've written the following hgx file. It will be imported correctly, but trying to check the values I should supply (input), the tab is empty.
I expect to be able to add these values after enabling the program: url, LeafNodeId01, LeafNodeId01Enabled, LeafNodeId02, LeafNodeId02Enabled...
But the "OPTIONS" tab is empty, seems broken, OPTIONS totally missing.
What's wrong?
The Widget (Program.AddControlWidget("xefil/xefilhomearduino/xefilhomearduino");) actually doesn't exist but should in any case show me the popup to enter the data, or not?

Uhm sorry Gene. I was on an old HG version (411) and the Compile button was missing. I've used the update ACTION on the program after reading your message. Then, updating the software, I've got the correct button.
I'm getting an error and noticing a strange behaviour:
Trying to update the program, I get "CR: Thread creation failed.", seems on line:
Func<bool> _checkXefilXML = new Func<bool>(()=>{
How debug?
The whole HGX file is attached.
And then the system seems hangs. I need to restart the software multiple times until the program appears disabled.
Thanks for help!

What system/configuration are you running homegenie on?
Also try avoiding the use of "Program.RunAsyncTask".

I'm using HG on a BananaPI board (armhf Bananian/Raspbian OK).
I would avoit using "Program.RunAsyncTask" but what use instead?
Really I'm using this program to parse a JSON file so I've tried the example from the 'OpenWeatherData' as suggested from mvdarend. Every alternative is OK for me.
The prupose is initially parse an JSON URL content from an Arduino shield. After that I would:
- send HTTP commands to the same Arduino
- graph some values.
But I would start to make one step at time, so first I need to be able to parse the file content. The output from the URL is something like this:
{
"nodes":[
{
"node":0,
"cmd":0,
"has_dht11":1,
"DHT11_H":3600,
"DHT11_T":2500,
"has_relay":0,
"relay01":0,
"relay02":0,
"relay03":0,
"relay04":0,
"has_dht22":0,
"DHT22_H":0,
"DHT22_T":0,
"has_onewire":0,
"dallas01":0
},
{
"node":2,
"cmd":0,
"has_dht11":1,
"DHT11_H":4400,
"DHT11_T":1600,
"has_relay":0,
"relay01":0,
"relay02":0,
"relay03":0,
"relay04":0,
"has_dht22":1,
"DHT22_H":2570,
"DHT22_T":140,
"has_onewire":1,
"dallas01":1706
}
]
}
I don't pretend to have the program written by you ;) (even if a help is always appreciated)
I would try by myself so I'm started from this APP.
Thanks for the help!

Here's a post of mine which gives an example of data I'm trying to parse and how it works:
http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=429.0 (http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=429.0)
You're JSON is in an array, so you'll also need to take that into account.
-
Hello!
Could you share with me the code?
The issue seems related to "Func<bool> _checkXefilXML = new Func<bool>(()=>{" (copied from the other example).
In addition Gene suggest not to use RunAsyncTask. So, an example as you've it done could help me :)

You're probably better off using my YouLess Energy Monitor (http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=427) code as it's a lot less complex than the weather examples, I've added an example of the JSON data to the thread so you can compare the code to the data being queried.
If you import the Youless APP and replace all the code in the try block with this it should work. (I haven't tested this though, and I've not queried a JSON array before, so you'll probably have to adapt it a little.)
var myData = Net.WebService("http://192.168.0.100/myJSONPage/").GetData();
// Query the first node, don't know if this is the correct syntax though...
int DHT22_T = int.Parse(myData.nodes[0].DHT22_T.ToString());
int DHT22_H = int.Parse(myData.nodes[0].DHT22_H.ToString());
Program.Parameter("Sensor.Humidity").Value = DHT22_T; // Should value be divided by 100?
Program.Parameter("Sensor.Temperature").Value = DHT22_H; // Should value be divided by 100?

Thanks for the suggestions!
Seems it starts to work!
I've a little issue here:
int DHT22_T = int.Parse(data.nodes[1].DHT22_T.ToString());
Program.Parameter("xefil.XefilHomeArduino.LeafNodeId02.DHT22_T").Value = (DHT22_T / 100).ToString();
The sensor reads: -120 (yess, it needs to be divided by 100).
After adding the value to the string, I only can read "-1" from the details.
Then, if I leave the "catch (Exception e) " to log in case of errors I get:
- Unexpected symbol `catch'
- Unexpected symbol `e'
- Unexpected symbol `)'
catch (Exception e)
{
Program.Notify("xefil: XefilHomeArduino!", "Error retrieving XefilHomeArduino data!");
//Program.Parameter("YouLess.Current").Value = "ERROR: " + e.Message;
Console.WriteLine( e.Message );
Pause(5);
}

The first problem sounds like a rounding error, you could try something line this:
int DHT22_T = int.Parse(data.nodes[1].DHT22_T.ToString());
double temperature = DHT22_T / 100
Program.Parameter("xefil.XefilHomeArduino.LeafNodeId02.DHT22_T").Value = temperature.ToString();
The catch needs to be part of the try.. catch block, like this
try
{
// your code here
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Program.Notify("xefil: XefilHomeArduino!", "Error retrieving XefilHomeArduino data!");
//Program.Parameter("YouLess.Current").Value = "ERROR: " + e.Message;
Console.WriteLine( e.Message );
Pause(5);
}
* I haven't tested any of the above code, so it may not work out of the box, but it should help you further

Thank you for this, that worked well!
So, now I can complete to parse the whole array.
Meanwhile, I've another question (in real I've a lot of questions, but one step per time ;) )
If I would like to graph this values, should they saved in a different way? I've seen in your example it uses 'Meter.Total' and 'Meter.Watts'. Has it to do something with that?
I see they should selectable on "Analysis" page.
Thanks again!
Simon
PS: After that I'll try to create the WIDGET :D
-
This is not working but you've pointed me to the right direction
I see that I forgot the semicolon at the end of the line... ::)
If you use the parameters Sensor.Humidity and Sensor.Temperature with a sgeneric sensor widget (like used in the YouLess example) the values will show on the Analysis page. (after about 5 minutes or so)
I'm not sure if it will also work on a custom widget, but I can't see why not.

Now it works! Looks very great!
I was able to get temperature and humidity and place them on the generic widget. The values are now graphed as well.
That's a great point! Now, I think I need to create my own widget because in my array there are different temperatures. I would like to add them all to the widget. I ask you some suggestions:
As you've seen the central arduino expose a json array. It could add more leafes (records) as soon I add new sensors.
Do you suggest to create a program+widget per sensor or put all together into a single widget?
Maybe a good approach would be to have the program with the whole parsing system and then add widgets that are taken from the program. one widget for temperature+humidity of record 1. one widget for relay status from record 1. one widget for temperature+humidity of record 2. .... Possible? Or other suggestions?
About the graphs:
These values should graphed as well. Is there a naming convention that enables the graphs or how it works? I've seen calling the variables Sensor.Humidity it has generated the graph, but don't know how.
Opinions? :)
Thanks!

You can keep using bultin sensor widget to show all values from your app.
The sensor widget will display any parameter that starts with "Sensor.*".
So you can use "Sensor.Temperature.1", "Sensor.Temperature.2" and so on.
If you still want to create your own widget, I suggest to try the online editor:
http://codepen.io/genielabs/public/ (http://codepen.io/genielabs/public/)
there are few examples and also a slightly different sensor widget.
Cheers,
g.

Hello Gene!
It's ok to use the generic widgets, maybe easier for me. I've tested using the naming convention you've suggested and it works.
The problem is I cannot specify a description on where the sensor is. I can only edit the title, but all temperatures are in the same windget so it's difficult to identfy which is the one I'm reading.
What do you suggest? Do I need to create a new Widget (maybe starting from your example)?
Is possible then to create multiple Widgets pointing to the same program or there is a relationship 1:1? Looking at the code "Program.AddControlWidget("homegenie/generic/sensor");" seems more a 1:1 relationship. One program, one widget. In this case I would need to create a bigger windget with all informations.
Thanks!

You can make your program add multiple sensor modules by using the Program.AddVirtualModules helper function:
AddVirtualModules (http://www.homegenie.it/docs/doxy/de/d1f/class_home_genie_1_1_automation_1_1_scripting_1_1_program_helper.html#a6ce0c82ab9edb50be6689919cf29c1ca)
// create 4 virtual modules in the domain HomeAutomation.Arduino with address from 1 to 4
Program.AddVirtualModules("HomeAutomation.Arduino", "Sensor", "homegenie/generic/sensor", 1, 4);
then you program can use the function Program.RaiseEvent to update each sensor value:
// update temperature value of Sensor with address 1
var module1 = Modules.InDomain("HomeAutomation.Arduino").WithAddres("1").Get();
Program.RaiseEvent(module1, "Sensor.Temperature", value, "Sensor 1");
g.

That's exactly how I did it with my temperature sensors, I have 5 separate widgets. That way I can add a single widget per group (ie. Living room, Backyard etc.) and I also have one group, "temperature" with all of the temperature widgets.

Thanks Gene!
I've written a long post to ask for other errors I've then solved by myself :)
Ok, I'm starting to understand it a little bit thanks to both you Gene and mvdarend!
@mvdarend:
The group with all the temperatures is a Widget you've created from new?
@all
What do you suggest to display the status of a relay?
I could get the status via json like temperatures and then act on the relay with an http post.
Suggestions?
Simon
-
The group with all the temperatures is a Widget you've created from new?
No, the group is just a standard HomeGenie group that I filled with widgets:
Configure -> Groups and Modules -> Add Group and then add al of my temperature widgets.
-
for implementing a relay logic you can use the "switch" widget ("homegenie/generic/switch").

In this case do I need to make a new program to get the data via web to read the relay status or could I call the same program I've made to get the temperatures? the array I parse is containing all values, from temperature to relay status.
Do you have a relay example I could follow?
I suppose I need to:
- update the status every 'x' time via http get (like done here for temperatures)
- change the status if pressed via http post
Thanks again for the help!
I really like this software every day more :)

PS: @mvdarend: thanks, I've done the same :)

Sorry if I top post again this thread.
Could someone help me with my doubts and needs?
Most of all, an example of a SWITCH logic and how to use it, would be great. Even an example that does nothing or simple write a loca file ON or OFF when the switch button is pressed would be enough to start trying some code.
Thanks a lot!

This should get you started, I use the attached code for a couple of virtual switches.
By changing the code here you can create extra virtual switches: (I have two at the moment)
Program.AddVirtualModules("HomeAutomation.SettingSwitch", "Switch", "homegenie/generic/switch", 1, 2);

Thanks mvdarend!
What does exactly turn the switch ON or OFF?
case "Control.On"
This means here I should put the code that will be executed when the Relay is switched to on?
And what does this?
case "Control.Toggle"
Thanks a lot!

You can control the virtual switches as follows:
// Get the Switch by ID
var mySwitch = Modules.InDomain("HomeAutomation.SettingSwitch").WithAddres("1").Get();
// Alternatively get the switch by name (you'll need to add it as a module to a group for this)
var myOtherSwitch = Modules.WithName("MyOtherSwitch").Get();
// Turn Switch on
mySwitch.Command("Control.On").Set();
// or Off
mySwitch.Command("Control.Off").Set();
// or Toggle the switch
mySwitch.Command("Control.Toggle").Set();
This means here I should put the code that will be executed when the Relay is switched to on?
You could, but putting it in When.ModuleParameterChanged() (http://www.homegenie.it/docs/doxy/d4/dd7/class_home_genie_1_1_automation_1_1_scripting_1_1_events_helper.html#a7e82383574aeff32db8d09d4eb916718) is probably better. I'm not certain about that though, maybe someone else could correct me here.
And what does this?
This 'toggles' the switch value, so if it was on, it will switch off and vice versa.

I'll give a try, thank you!

Hello!
I'm still blocked, cannot understand very well how it works.
As seen, I can get vaules with the previous code I've implemented. Using program and virtual modules I was able to create them and collect informations. Googling on this forum as well as on the sourceforge forum I've found how to query the modules:
http://<MY_IP>/api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie/Config/Modules.List/
This produces a long list. Let me take this block:
{
"Name": "xefil - XefilHomeArduino",
"Description": "",
"DeviceType": "Program",
"Domain": "HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation",
"Address": "1007",
"Properties": [
(..snip...)
{
"Name": "xefil.XefilHomeArduino.LeafNodeId01.Relay01",
"Description": "",
"Value": "0",
"UpdateTime": "2015-01-07 09:37:09Z",
"ValueIncrement": "0",
"LastValue": "0",
"LastUpdateTime": "2015-01-07 09:35:12Z"
},
(..snip...)
{
"Name": "xefil.XefilHomeArduino.LeafNodeId01.DHT11_H",
"Description": "",
"Value": "36",
"UpdateTime": "2015-01-07 09:37:09Z",
"ValueIncrement": "0",
"LastValue": "36",
"LastUpdateTime": "2015-01-07 09:35:12Z"
},
{
"Name": "xefil.XefilHomeArduino.LeafNodeId01.DHT11_T",
"Description": "",
"Value": "25",
"UpdateTime": "2015-01-07 09:37:09Z",
"ValueIncrement": "0",
"LastValue": "25",
"LastUpdateTime": "2015-01-07 09:35:12Z"
},
(..snip...)
To start understanding, how could I create a generic switch that simply write to the console the 'xefil.XefilHomeArduino.LeafNodeId01.DHT11_H' if the switch is ON and the 'xefil.XefilHomeArduino.LeafNodeId01.DHT11_T' if the switch is OFF?
I know, this doesn't make much sense, but it's only a start point to inderstand how to query already collected values. I'll use them later to query the relay status and do something with that later.
Where should I get the values? From here?
"Name": "xefil - XefilHomeArduino",
"Description": "",
"DeviceType": "Program",
"Domain": "HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation",
"Address": "1007"
Or from here?
"Name": "Corridoio DHT11",
"Description": "",
"DeviceType": "Sensor",
"Domain": "HomeAutomation.XefilHomeArduino",
"Address": "1"
Also is better to get vaules from the program or from the sensor Widget? Or it's the same?
Thanks again, really!

Hi,
Did you take a look here ?
http://www.homegenie.it/docs/api/overview.html (http://www.homegenie.it/docs/api/overview.html)
I remember last time i found the correct API, i used the "record macro" in action menu. In my case : /api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation/90/Control.On/1393535869092.
Control.On/139353586909 isn't very easy to find ... ;)
About "HomeAutomation.XefilHomeArduino" versus "HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation", i don't know but perhaps you can try or use the more easy ...
Not sure to help ...
Bye

Hey nolio,
you don't need that 139353586909 number at all. Those numbers in the end HG client API calls are just put to ensure that the web browser is not caching the request. It's old stuff anyway. Use the standard API syntax as explained here http://www.homegenie.it/docs/api/ (http://www.homegenie.it/docs/api/) .

this my gpio case control to call from web api
case "Control.Value":
//var iplocation = Net.WebService("169.254.122.100:8080/api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie/Config/Modules.Get/RaspberryPi.Gpio/GPIO23/").GetData();
WebClient n = new WebClient();
var json = n.DownloadString("http://169.254.122.100:8080/api/HomeAutomation.HomeGenie/Config/Modules.Get/RaspberryPi.Gpio/GPIO23");
string valueOriginal = Convert.ToString(json);
JObject rss = JObject.Parse(json);
//string rssDomain = (string)rss["Domain"]; //working
string itemProperties = (string)rss["Properties"]["Name"][11]; //not working
//JArray status = (JArray)rss["Name"]["Properties"][11]["Name"]; //not working
//string result1 = string.Join("", status); //not working
//IList<string> categoriesText = status.Select(c => (string)c).ToList(); //not working
res = itemProperties;
break;
}
//return "{ 'AResponseValue' : 'OK' }";
i call it use web api
http://169.254.122.100:8080/api/RaspberryPi.Gpio/GPIO23/Control.Value (http://169.254.122.100:8080/api/RaspberryPi.Gpio/GPIO23/Control.Value)
its show like this
Accessed JArray values with invalid key value: "Name". Array position index expected. at Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray.get_Item (System.Object key) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

can help to get data on Properties? for the example "update time:" on "Homegenie scheduled control On", thx for help :)

Ok i will try without and change my severals call to this API :).

Hi,
I'd like to get the value out of this json response
json({
"version": 16,
"type": "get_state_sensor",
"sensor": {
"number": 2,
"name": "Temp",
"type": "temperature",
"value": 21.5,
"state": [],
"unit": "°C",
"utime": 1481641629,
"date": {
"weekday": "tu",
"day": 13,
"month": 12,
"year": 2016
},
"time": {
"hour": 16,
"min": 7,
"sec": 9
}
}
})
I tried with
var SensorData = Net.WebService(webserviceurl).GetData();
string Temperature = int.Parse(SensorData.sensor.value.ToString());
Which is unfortunate not working.
Could the json(....) be the problem? I have no chance to get rid of it.
Anybody any idea?
Many thanks
Cheers
Jens

Hi, Jens.
Yes, the json(....) is the problem, as it's not a valid JSON object. You need that your response contains only inner part, {...}.
-
Hi Bounz,
this is what I assumed, unfortunate there's no way in getting rid of this, as the firmware is not accessible in any way.
Thanks
Jens

You don't have access to any string manipulation functions where you receive this JSON? Shouldn't be that hard to remove everything before, and including, the first ( and the the same with the last ) if you have that.
Don't know anything about JSON, but looking at your example it doesn't look like ( and ) is part of a JSON reply. So there won't be a case where searcing for these and remove everything before and after would a problem in the future.
But I'm just throwing out ideas =)
