ios zway authentication - help

[yzheng]

Hi

I am new to zway. Please forgive me if I am asking silly questions. I am doing an ios app to control zwave device. I have used Razberry and it works fine in the browser.

Now I am trying to do the same thing from an ios app, how should I handle authentication? I am using AFNetworking for HTTP POST operations. And the firmware version is 2.1.1 (it says it is latest)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Now Z-Way supports Basic Authentication, so you no need to log in. With each request you should send login and password:

Code: Select all

    AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
    manager.requestSerializer.cachePolicy = NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData;
    [manager.requestSerializer setAuthorizationHeaderFieldWithUsername:@"admin" password:@"admin"];
    [manager GET:@"http://192.168.0.62:8083/ZAutomation/api/v1/notifications" parameters:nil
              success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id DATA) {
                  NSLog(@"notifications: %@",DATA);
              } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
                  NSLog(@"getNotifications Error : %@",error.description);
     }];

Hi aivs:

I have tried the codes. I am still not able to control the light. What firmware version do I need upgrade to? I got 2.1.1 at the moment. I am using Raspberry Pi 2.

Below is the error I got:

Try to add this:

Code: Select all

manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:@"text/plain"];

And use a latest version v2.1.2-rc2

Try to add this:

Code: Select all

manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:@"text/plain"];

Valid response should always be json, so there's no need to do that.

And if you look at error.data provided, it says "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined", which suggests some JS error at Z-Way side. You can check log to see stack trace and determine the exact error location.

Hi aivs, I have upgraded to 2.1.2-rc2 and added the codes you suggested. Now I am getting the error below

Hi pofs, where can I find the log files?

[pofs]

/var/log/z-way-server.log

[yzheng]

/var/log/z-way-server.log

I have checked the log file, this is the stack trace information. What should/can I do?
