AutoRemote Sending a Message from "Fibaro HC2" to "Android Tablet" with "Tasker WiFi Service" and "AutoRemote"

Hey, I want to send a message from "Fibaro HC2" to "Android Tablet" with "Tasker WiFi Service" and "AutoRemote"

My configuration is:

Androit Tablet:
- "Tasker WiFi Service" is aktiv
- "AutoRemote" registered
- WiFi on and connected
- no mobile data connection

Fibaro HC2
- Wifi on and connected
- no mobile data connection
Both systems are on the same WiFi network

I try the folowing:

1: send a request form HC2 to Tablet with
- "Tasker WiFi Service" is aktiv
- targetIP = '192.168.178.43'
- AutoRemotePort = '1817'
- targetKey = 'the_key'
the request seams to be OK. I get a "response.status = 200"
That means connection success

2: send a request form HC2 to Tablet with
- "Tasker WiFi Service" is aktiv
- targetIP = 'wrong IP'
- AutoRemotePort = '1817'
- targetKey = 'the_key'
the request seams to fail. I get a "response = connection refused"
That means connection error.

3: send a request form HC2 to Tablet with
- "Tasker WiFi Service" is aktiv
- targetIP = '192.168.178.43'
- AutoRemotePort = 'wrong prt'
- targetKey = 'the_key'
the request seams to fail. I get a "response = connection refused"
That means connection error.

4: send a request form HC2 to Tablet
- "Tasker WiFi Service" is disabled
- targetIP = '192.168.178.43'
- AutoRemotePort = '1817'
- targetKey = 'the_key'
the request seams to fail. I get a "response = connection refused"
That means connection error.


OK, Pos 1: seams to be the right way, but I get no log-entry in AutoRemote and no trigger in Tasker

May be you can help me with this.

By the way, the folowing code does work it sends a message with GCM
-- Http-Request for AutoRemote & Tasker by GCM (Google Cloud Messaging)
local function getMethod()
local http = net.HTTPClient()
Debug('blue', 'enter getMethod')
http:request( 'https://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendmessage?key=the_key&message=DoIt',
{
options = {method = 'GET'},
success = successCallback,
error = errorCollback
}
)
end

thx in advance

This is the relevant scene LUA code on "Fibaro HC2" to send to Tasker WiFi Service
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

local targetIP = '192.168.178.43'

local targetKey = 'the_key'

-- Callback at success
local function successCallback(resp)

{

success = successCallback,
error = errorCallback
}
)
end

-- Do the request
getDirect(targetIP, targetPort, targetKey, 'the_command')

Ok, at least I got the communication functioning.
The url is '192.168.178.43:1817'
But there are several other Problems
1. there is no way to see that the AutoRemote WiFi service is running or not
2. the WiFi service is shutting down without any reason, after a new start all is ok
3. sometimes Tasker did not get the AutoRemote Trigger, stop/start the WiFi service solve it sometimes
4. why must the WiFi Service to be started with Tasker-Task. It should be enabled in AutoRemote Settings and
there should be a indicator that it is running.
Hope that helps.

thanks

 

thx for the hint.
Is there a way to figure out that the service is running?

 

hey, I think the AutoRemote WiFi service is running stable now
But I figured out some other problems.
Sometimes it seams that Tasker did not get all the triggers.
The toast message comes up and a log entry is generated by AutoRemote.
I have three triggers with "exact Message Filter" and three task to be executed.
First message works as it should. The next message, the same or an other did not work.
After a while the next message is ok, and so on.
But I don't see any regularity.
Is there a delay before the next trigger can be done?
Sometimes Tasker did not do anything.

thx for your support

Hey, sorry I can't find the settings icon . Is it visible when editing the task?
can you show a screenshot

 

OK, found it. I was on beginner mode.
I played around with messages over GCM and it seams to be OK.
I'm at work an can't test with WiFi Service. I will try later an give you feedback

thanks for support

 

hey, I'am back again with some information.
The communication with the AutoRemote WiFi Service works at 90% of the time.
But sometimes there is a org.json.JSONException.
After that the WiFi Service did not recognize any message.
I upload the json exception as a file, hope that helps.
thx

 

This is Code I use:
(Fibaro HomeCenter 2 - LUA Code )

local function sendLocal(receiverIP, AutoRemotePort, SenderKey, Command)
local httpClient = Tk.Net.HttpRequest(receiverIP,AutoRemotePort)

payload = {
message = Command,
sender = SenderKey,
ttl=0,
communication_base_params =
{
type = 'Message',
fallback = false,
via = 'Wifi'
},
version = '1.63'
}
local strPayload = json.encode(payload)

local response, status, errorCode = httpClient:request('POST', '', {}, strPayload)
end

-- first call the function
sendLocal('192.168.178.32', '1817', 'Fibaro_HC2', 'TürAchtung')
-- second call
sendLocal('192.168.178.32', '1817', 'Fibaro_HC2', 'TürOffen')
-- third call
sendLocal('192.168.178.32', '1817', 'Fibaro_HC2', 'TürZu')

Thees three calls where send with different time-laps between them.
Very often everything works fine and sometimes there comes the exception.
Hope that helps.

 

Sorry for the long time not answering.
The problem with the "org.json.JSONException" ist still there.
I think it is not a problem with fast calls.
Maybe you can change the exception handling in the service, so that the service is still running after an exception.
In the moment the service stoped if an exception appears, but the notification says the service is still running.
It is a real pity, but in this way the whole system ist not useful for me.
I can not check every hour if the service is running.

I hope we will get an solution soon .
Thanks!
