html-string

[DJ-Dan]

Is it possible to change the LED's on and off with html string? I want control the wordclock with my FHEM System.

I guess what you are looking for is the build-in API. Please have a look at the API documentation in web interface of the clock: /api

Hi @DJ-Dan

if you manage to control the clock via FHEM, it would be great, if you'd write about your solution here. Ideally, you can use the endpoints as outlined by @FrankX0 e.g. using curl or similar tools.

I did the integration for home assistant. Maybe you want to have a look here to get at least an idea, which endpoints you can use for your integration.

Hey @FrankX0, I don't know what you mean? Can you describe me how i integrate the API in my FHEM or FHEM into the Wordclock?

Hi Daniel,

If you want to control the clock from FHEM, you can send html POST requests to the IP address of the clock. The commands support are documented in the clock webinterface. You can find it at: your-clock-ip-address/api

I however have no experience with FHEM. So I cannot help you with how to send POST requests from FHEM. Maybe this helps: https://wiki.fhem.de/wiki/HTTPMOD

Good luck, Frank.

Thanks for your reply. If I edit the brightness value over the API website, then I become a error message: error code 500 "message": "Internal Server Error" Does anyone know how i fix this?

[FrankX0]

How and which POST request do you send? Can you share the output of the terminal window (if you start the clock application manually)?

... that would be indeed helpful. A "Internal Server Error", indicates definitely a wordclock issue. Even if you submit any wrong values, etc, the wordclock should be able to handle that.

Hi, this is the output when i start the clock manually,

Hi @bk1285, Bernd,

I guess this one is for you to solve: wordclock_display instance has no attribute 'getPixelColor' And there is another occurrence of the same issue: #141

Kind regards, Frank.

[bk1285]

Agreed, @FrankX0 ;)

@DJ-Dan, can you provide me the commit, you're running the wordclock with? ...are you on master?

[DJ-Dan]

Agreed, @FrankX0 ;)

@DJ-Dan, can you provide me the commit, you're running the wordclock with? ...are you on master?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to have my wordclock config file? Yes I'm the master of the system an i have full access to it.

[bk1285]

No worries, @DJ-Dan,

if you login to your raspberry pi and open a terminal, can you provide me with the output of the following commands? cd /home/pi/rpi_wordclock git rev-parse --short HEAD

The last command should return a short sequence of characters. These are of interest here, since they identify your current software version (=current commit, you're on...)

Best, Bernd

Thanks for the quick feedback, @DJ-Dan. So I have all input to look into it.

upps i clicked myself! Thanks for your support

[bk1285]

Hey @DJ-Dan

I made quite a few changes and refactorings, which should probably be tested a little, before going to master. To check, if the fix is working, try the following commands: cd /home/pi/rpi_wordclock git remote update git checkout --track origin/develop

You're now on the develop branch, which holds my latest fixes. If it doesn't work and you want to go back to the version you have now, run git checkout master

Would be good to hear, whether your issue is resolved... ;)

Best, Bernd

[DJ-Dan]

Hey @bk1285 the command git remote update worked fine but the git checkout --track origin/develop gave a error because i changed the wordclock_display.py fiel

I have generated a new code ce689c4

sorry for the inconvenience

[bk1285]

Run git reset --hard and then git checkout --track origin/develop. Note: The changes you made to wordclock_display.py are lost in this case.

[DJ-Dan]

I hope I did everything right The outputs from the codes are:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd rpi_wordclock/ pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ git remote update Fetching origin pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ git checkout --track origin/develop fatal: A branch named 'develop' already exists. pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ git checkout master Switched to branch 'master' Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ git reset --hard HEAD is now at 42d795d Updated installer script pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ git checkout --track origin/develop fatal: A branch named 'develop' already exists.

And the output from the api command is the same

[bk1285]

:see_no_evil: ... so you already have a develop-branch from former tests/checkouts...? ;)

In this case, run git remote update git checkout develop git pull origin develop

Just as remark: The current version of develop works best if typewriter is set to False within the wordclock_config.cfg.

[DJ-Dan]

Okay sorry for my fault.

`pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd rpi_wordclock/ pi@raspberrypi:~ /rpi_wordclock $ git remote update Fetching origin pi@raspberrypi:~ /rpi_wordclock $ git checkout develop Switched to branch 'develop' Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/develop'. pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ git pull origin develop From https://github.com/bk1285/rpi_wordclock

• branch develop -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date. `

and yes it works. I can now set the brightness per api. When i set a value the clock dim to zero and then to the value i set, but this is not at the same time i execute it. It is a delay, but thats not a problem, only for note! Now i can also kill the python script with ctrl+c
