Forwarding events over http

[beeguy123]

I need to forward Z-Wave events over http. I have been using the userModule https://github.com/reneklootwijk/zway-eventforwarder succesfully for this purpose. (Modified it slightly so it offers a proper http api for my home server.)
However with my latest setup the module fails on startup. I guess it's not compatible with latest zway server version (2.2.1).

Can anyone suggest a different user module for forwarding events over http please ? (Or point out how to fix reneklootwijk's module. It's not being maintained, and I'm in above my head there...)

thanks!

Any log ? Error message ?

Any log ? Error message ?

Yeah sorry I prly should've given that in the first place.

Natively the error message (on the web interface) is this :
Cannot instantiate module: EventForwarder: TypeError: Cannot read property 'devices' of undefined

And the log includes this :
[2016-04-06 22:07:41.568] [core] Loading module EventForwarder from userModules/EventForwarder

What I've tried is to replace all instances of 'global.zway.devices' in index.js by 'global.ZWave["zway"].zway.devices'
Then at least 'global.zway' is not undefined. But this in turn results in :

[2016-xx-xx hh:mm:ss] [core] TypeError: Cannot read property 'data' of undefined

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing so I'm not getting any further than this...

global.zway shouldn't be undefined in the first place.

If you modified EventForwarder, can you show us the code of the init function ?

[beeguy123]

Thanks. I haven't changed anything in the init function. (See link in first post for the original index.js)
My changes are in the http.request part.

Solved for me, although not elegantly.
I found out that the 'property undefined' errors are only on one or two of the virtual devices that it tries to create. I have wrapped the involved code lines in try/catch statements. This way it can fail without crashing. (Empty catch : just disregard if it fails.)
I still don't know what's the deal with those failing virtual devices.
Not the cleanest solution but hey it works.
