Haiku Using Amazon Alexa devices (Echo, Dot, Tap, etc.) with HAI

[dwpaddack]

It only asked me for username and password once, then it just comes back with a blank page.
 
Or the error I mentioned earlier.

 

[ihf]

It should never ask for credentials if you enter that URL into the browser. As for the Parse error, perhaps heffnell can help as that is not the code I am using.

 

[dwpaddack]

This is driving me crazy. I don't suppose there's any way to speak to one of you on the phone? Is there a way we can exchange private information?

 

[heffneil]

Code is identical from my server so it should work.  I can only think that there is hidden characters in it perhaps? I use Brackets for my editor which is easy to use...
 
Not sure about the U/P request but if it runs in the browser and still doesn't work something is wrong.  You have the port for HaikuHelper and the IP in the beginning of the code set correctly right? The port is the port for HaikuHelper - not anything else?

 

[dwpaddack]

That's correct.  The local port for my HH is 9399 and the server is 192.168.1.177

 

[heffneil]

If you're getting an error on that file there has to be something in the file because of the editor or something is missing when you modified?

 

[dwpaddack]

I didn't modify anything in the file. I copied and pasted exactly what you posted.

<?php
define('HHAPI_URL', 'IP_OF_HAIKUHELPERORT_OF_HAIKUHELPER port/api');
define('HHAPI_USER', ‘XXXX’);
define('HHAPI_PASS', ‘YYYY!’);
 
//  hhapi calls
 
// Grab the name and date properties from the controller object
if (isset($_GET["dim"])) { // Check to see if DIM is defined so run the DIM command
    hhapi('controller.unitWithNumber('.$_GET["DeviceNum"].').setLevel('.$_GET["dim"].')');
}
elseif(isset($_GET["newTargetValue"])) { //See If we are passing a unit number to turn on or off
   if ($_GET["newTargetValue"] == 1){ //Value is 1 so turn switch ON
        hhapi('controller.unitWithNumber('.$_GET["DeviceNum"].').on()');
   }
   elseif($_GET["newTargetValue"] == 0){ //Value is 0 so turn switch OFF
   hhapi('controller.unitWithNumber('.$_GET["DeviceNum"].').off()');
   }
}
elseif (isset($_GET["Button"])) { //Passing a button name to exectute that button
   hhapi('controller.buttonWithName("'.$_GET["Button"].'").activate()');
}
elseif (isset($_GET["Temp"])) { //Passing a button name to exectute that button    
   hhapi('controller.thermostatWithNumber('.$_GET["Thermostat"].').setCoolSetpoint('.$_GET["Temp"].')');
 echo("Yay for Me!");
}
    
    
 
 
function hhapi($cmd) {
        $ch = curl_init();
 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, HHAPI_URL);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, HHAPI_USER . ':' . HHAPI_PASS);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $cmd);
 
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        $error = curl_error($ch);
 
        curl_close($ch);
 
        if($error) echo $error;
 
        return json_decode($result);
}
?>

Change this: define('HHAPI_URL', 'IP_OF_HAIKUHELPERORT_OF_HAIKUHELPER port/api');
 
To: define('HHAPI_URL', '192.168.1.177:9399 port/api');

 

[dwpaddack]

I made that change. Here's what I paste in Safari

http://192.168.1.177:9399/HaikuHelper.php?newTargetValue=1&DeviceNum=066
 
It still isn't working

 

[heffneil]

No - 9399 is your HaikuHelper port.  You want to use Apache - remember Apache is the other web server you activated earlier to run PHP it works like this :
 
Your Browser -> Apache / PHP (Port 80) -> HAIKU Helper (Port 9399) -> Omnipro.
 
So just take the port number out of safari 
 
http://192.168.1.177/HaikuHelper.php?newTargetValue=1&DeviceNum=066
 
Good luck!

When I do that I get this error:
 
Parse error: parse error, expecting `"identifier (T_STRING)"' in /Library/WebServer/Documents/HaikuHelper.php on line 10

 

[heffneil]

Re-paste the code?  Did you notice the line number changed?

 

[heffneil]

PM Me your email and I will email you the file all ready to go.

 

[networkcrasher]

Is it because his username has a space in it?

define('HHAPI_USER', Pxx Hxx);

I'm guessing HH doesn't like a space in a username in rest API calls

 

[heffneil]

It could be possible but it is wrapped in ' ' in the code?  Mine is just Home so I don't know?
