Issues to get proper state of garage door using Shelly Addon

[norb-HB]

Hi Miguel,

thank you for providing this module. This came very handy for me.

Recently I extended my Shelly1 with a magnetic sensor and the Shelly Temperatur Sensor Addon for Shelly 1/1PM. This is due to my system works with 230V.

The state of the garage door is displayed accurately in the shelly app.
However I'd like to see the proper state in HK.

I've changed the settings of the module to:

"name": "Garagentor",
"http_method": "GET",
"openURL": "http://192.168.x.xxx/relay/0?turn=on",
"closeURL": "http://192.168.x.xxx/relay/0?turn=on",
"openTime": 17,
"closeTime": 17,
"autoLock": false,
"autoLockDelay": 20,
"polling": true,
"pollInterval": 30,
"statusURL": "http://192.168.x.xxxx/status",
"statusKey": "$.ext_switch[0].input",
"statusValueOpen": "1",
"statusValueClosed": "0",
"statusValueOpening": "2",
"statusValueClosing": "3",
"debug": true,
"accessory": "GarageDoorOpener"

It seems wether the status key I'm using is somehow wrong or the poll does not happen.
The debug option did not log any infos but open/close. When I additionaly switch the HB debug on HB is in an endless restart loop.

I'd would be very happy if you could help me.

Cheers
Norbert

Hi,

Turning the debug to on should log the polling of the status... maybe i've introduced a bug in the last version.

Can you please revert to version 1.1.0 to see if it shows the log correctly and report back?

[norb-HB]

Thanks for coming back so quickly!

I've did the downgrade to 1.1.0 and the debug works now fine.
This is an sample result from open/close door:
[17.2.2021, 10:05:15] [Garagentor] Transformed status value from undefined to 0 ($.ext_switch[0].input)
[17.2.2021, 10:05:15] [Garagentor] Updated state to: 0
[17.2.2021, 10:05:45] [Garagentor] Transformed status value from undefined to 0 ($.ext_switch[0].input)
[17.2.2021, 10:05:45] [Garagentor] Updated state to: 0
[17.2.2021, 10:06:15] [Garagentor] Transformed status value from undefined to 0 ($.ext_switch[0].input)
[17.2.2021, 10:06:15] [Garagentor] Updated state to: 0

State ist always 0.

Actually the key for the external switch seems to be generally ok since is been used from someone else in the shelly forum: https://www.shelly-support.eu/forum/index.php?thread/6525-http-request-shortcuts-garagentor-zustandsanzeige-abfragen/

I don't know if you have access to the support forum. Here a few lines from there which seem to prove the right key:

const ext_switch = JSON.parse(response.body).ext_switch[0].input;
if(ext_switch == 0){changeIcon("", "bitsies_upload");renameShortcut("", "Garage Geöffnet");
{Zustand = "Geöffnet"};
}
if(ext_switch == 1){changeIcon("" , "bitsies_download");renameShortcut("", "Garage Geschlossen");
{Zustand = "Geschlossen"};
}
showToast(''+Zustand+'')

When calling http://shelly-ip/status in my browser it delivers back the proper value for ext_switch.

[jmaferreira]

Looking at the log entry, it seems that your jsonpath is not correct. The extracted value is undefined.

Can you post a example JSON extracted from your service?

[norb-HB]

Sorry, I'm not clear what ist meant with 'service'
The browser output?

[jmaferreira]

Yes. Just add here the response you get from the shelly

[norb-HB]

Thanks for clarifying.

I did a wget on my HB Pi to make sure that status could be read as well:

[jmaferreira]

Can you just paste a well formed version of that last part (the JSON part)?

If you do a curl instead of a wget you might get a better result.

[norb-HB]

Here we go....

Your jsonpath should work fine. Try changing it to $.ext_switch.[0].input just to test it. Your ext_switch property is not really an array.

[norb-HB]

did so

This resulted in an infite restart cycle and I had to stop the HB service.

Msg in HB Log is:

[norb-HB]

I finally found the right key -> $.ext_switch.0.input

Thanks a lot for your help!

[jmaferreira]

Cheers. all the best.

[jmaferreira]

Meanwhile I'll try to fix the bug on the latest version.
