Re: [mh] RoomMe

Howard,

Thanks for the pointers. I initially didn’t understand what you were sharing, but after reading through the json_server.pl code (several times) I was able to get a handle on how to solve my issue.

I hope the below can help others.

In short, the way I am resolving my question is to create a new subroutine in my user code and call it via the http://<mh:port>/sub?<my<http://%3cmh:port%3e/sub?%3cmy> new sub>.  There are no parameters being passed to the sub.  However, inside the sub, I am creating a local hash of the body of the web request with the following:

My $jsonHash = decode_json($HTTP_DATA);  #$HTT_DATA is a global variable and contains the body of the web request

And then I am grabbing the value of each key in to a local var like this:

my $userID =  $jsonHash->{"userId"};

Now I can proceed with using the data.

Regards,
Tim

Hi Tim,

  I do something similar  with the razberry module. Razberry loads a custom module that provides a push event to MH when a state changes. Take a look at main::razberry_push in the razberry package, and I think I parse post data in the json_server.pl. (It’s been a while since I’ve looked at the json server code)

Hi,

I wanted to try again to see if anyone knows how I can read this JSON data from the body of a HTTP call from a sub? Or any preferred method/strategy to have MH act on the JSON data?

Thanks,
Tim

Subject: [mh] RoomMe

Hi All,

A friend shared this relatively new device called a RoomMe (http://www.IntelliThings.net<http://www.intellithings.net/> .

Short story is that it is a device that can identify a person cell phone via Bluetooth in a room and can set scenes/settings based on that user’s preference.

They also have a way to call an external link via  POST with JSON in the body of the post that looks like the following:

{
                "userId":0,
                "event":
                {
                                "name":"RoomExit",
                                "lastInRoom":true
                },
                "id":"<email address>",
                "sensorId":"<BT MAC Address>",
                "type":"Event",
                "userName":"Tim",
                "roomName":"Office Suite"
}

There are different events.  Attached is the complete API documentation.

Can anyone share ideas on the best way for MH to make use of this data?  RoomMe doesn’t support a lot of systems at present; and having MH do the logic based on parameters seems like a potentially good fit.

Tim
