Hi All,

I want to extend the z-way api with new functionality. For example I define my api with method doSomething() under
like in z-way
Another interesting way will be just extend the /ZWaveApi/Run/ with more methods.
One reason why I want to extend the api is,for example setting configuration parameters not like but in another way like So the user or any other system must only know a "name" of the sensor, the command he wants to set (WakeUp) and the value (1800).
Is this somehow possible? Maybe I can also capsulate that in a module.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Currently you cannot extend /ZWaveAPI.
But if you define a global JS function, it will be accessible via /ZAutomation/YourFunctionName (the rest of url is passed as an arg, so you can handle it as you want). Take a look at OpenRemoteHelpers module, it does nearly the same you want to do.

In upcoming version 2.0 you'll be able to add your handler for any kind of url, even to intercept built-in API requests.

Any news/release date for this 2.0 version?

We expect to release a first public build in a month or so. The core itself is ready, but it is not fully supported by web UI yet.

Thank you pofs for your answer!
I can execute global method over /ZAutomation like: and I can read params like: Would it be possible to use this kind of calling and if so how can I get the params values Including a device, z-way uses exactly the same calling mechanism like:

Code: Select all

/ZAutomation/getSomething(param1, param2) 

Not for second level, as it takes everything between /ZAutomation/ and next slash as a function name to call. But it is possible for next level, like /ZAutomation/myapi/getSomething(param1, param2). The remaining part of url is passed into your function (myapi in this case), so may write it whatever you like. For example, you can call eval(), or parse it yourself.
