Remote interaction with scripts

Thyone

Hi,

I am running a script on my Shelly Plus 2 PM, which is basically a state machine that changes both outputs in a predefined order when a button is pressed. So the inputs are detached from the outputs. I did this by creating an event handler that reacts on the change of the button state.

Now, I want the script to do the same thing when I press a button on my remote Shelly 1L. So far, I only found HTTP commands that change the state of one of the outputs and trigger an event. I also found, that I can change some configuration, e.g., the name of the input. This also triggers an event which I can react to in my script. But this is not a very elegant way to do this.

The emitEvent function seems to do the right thing, but I did not get this running over RPC.

Does anyone know how I can use an http command on the Shelly 1L that does nothing else but trigger an event on the Shelly Plus that I can react to in my script?

Thanks!

I think its a lot easier to create a HTTP-Server on the Plus2PM which would listen to HTTP Requests from SHelly 1 L (Action)

Code

HTTPServer.registerEndpoint('testserver', function (req, res) {

    // check request and comapare the querystring
    if (req.query === 'turn=on') {
        // response with some text
        res.body = 'Shelly Webserver: on';
        res.code = 200;
        res.send();
        // Do something, e.g. Shelly.Call();


    } else if (req.query === 'turn=off') {
        // response with some text
        res.body = 'Shelly Webserver: off';
        res.code = 200;
        res.send();
        // Do something else, e.g. Shelly.Call();

    }
    else {
        res.body = 'Shelly Webserver';
        res.code = 200;
        res.send();
    }
})

Excellent idea, this works for me! Thank you for your help and the detailed example.
