Guy Lavoie Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I love this plugin, very handy for several things. Now I'm trying to use it to set a touch lamp to one of 3 levels by program statements that look at a virtual dimmer level setting. Works great if I manually set the virtual dimmer level in admin console. But if I set the level through a REST command (eg: http://admin:<passwd>@192.168.0.xx:8080/rest/nodes/n006_90/cmd/DON/128) nothing happens. Turns on and off through REST ok, but setting level doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks!

So I have my REST command set a state variable, and a program track the variable to set the dim level. Would be nice it if worked directly. 😀
sjenkins Posted March 25 Posted March 25 (edited) DON and DOF are for full on and off setDim will set the level so to use your example: http://admin:<passwd>@192.168.0.xx:8080/rest/nodes/n006_90/cmd/setDim/128 Edited March 25 by sjenkins
Guy Lavoie Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Interesting. setDim isn't mentioned anywhere in the wiki on the REST commands. Funny thing is that the "cmd/DON/128" format works fine with Insteon switches. I'll try that tomorrow, thanks!
sjenkins Posted March 25 Posted March 25 This is the first time I’ve gotten a REST question on this plugin. You are correct it’s not in the docs, my memory was fuzzy enough I had to pull up the program to remember the command. You won’t find these kind of things in the WIKI for a plugin only in the config help or here on the forums. I can add it to the TODO to make it more match the norm, but would not remove this command as it would be a breaking change for someone. let me know how it goes!
