Making HTTP requests from Z-Cloud

Post by PoltoS »

We have improved Z-Cloud to allow HTTP requests inside scenes. These can be used to store data in other cloud services such as data logging to present graphs.Use the folowing scene script as a reference: import httplib
import encodings.ascii
try:
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("google.com", 80, timeout=10)
conn.request("GET", "/")
res = conn.getresponse()
logging.rules.info(res.status, res.reason)
data = res.read()
logging.rules.info(data)
except Exception, inst:
logging.exception(inst, "httplib failed")
raise Of course instead of writing data to logfile you are better to use it somehow.

Basically, yes. If you have a public IP (fixed or with some dyndns-like service) you can use Z-Cloud to trigger HTTP requests to your public IP from Z-Wave events.
