Awesome! Thanks to your clear explanation and details I have able to pull weather data into the mini server. You rock!

Very useful. Thaks :). Have you tried / figured out how to enable and disable UniFi firewall rules using loxone?? 😊

[@theautomationgym]

Thank you, I've not tried yet, haven't had a use case. By the looks of it API is fairly open and GET/PUT commanda are enabled. Should be possible maybe authentication can be a slight issue.

I've used Virtual Output a lot in my project. I now wanted to use it for the Nanoleaf Shapes in my home. I need to fill the HTTP Body for ON string. In the documentation it says I can use \1 \2 \3 \4 to get bytes from the values sent. That would be wonderful so I can use that for the RGBW values. But it does not seem to work. Any clues?

[@theautomationgym]

Hmm, sounds interesting. I've never seen the Nanoleaf Shapes but I've done something similar with other RGBWs. Compiled the required string in the formula block or text generator and forward it as a \v directly

Thanks for this informative video! I'd like to see a video about how to trigger a request to a webserver via a switch and then directly parse the result (e.g. 0 or 1) and directly use this to turn on a light (or not in case of 0). Do you think there ist a way to achieve this?

[@theautomationgym]

Thanks, sounds like a good idea and it should be relatively easy to do. Can you give me an example use case, I'll try da set it up 🙂

@@theautomationgym You have an access control management system providing an endpoint. It expects a code e.g. from a nfc code touch and returns 0 or 1. With this response you can choose to open a door or not. There are many diverent codes so you can not call them all the time and store the Response like you showed. I already solved it by extending the access control management system with some code to directly open the door via remote call. But it would be nice to directly use the result and only send requests when required. I'm excited to see your version 👍

Hello, nice to learn, unfortunately i have gen1 miniserver, so i can not use https (for reading electricity prices). But i have another task - i have photovoltaic unit conneted over modbus, that works for me fine. But i want to send a command via actuator that sets power overflow to grid from 0-10000W ... i made a virtual analog input a connected to actuator. But problem is i need to send sequence of commands, first to IO adress 0 a password (1234 for example) and after that to adress 66 a value of power lets say 10000W ... i dont know how to do this sequence... can u help me ? thanx

[@theautomationgym]

Hi, I think that it should be possible to send a sequence of events with separate actuators + sequence controller. What does the endpoint look like?

[@abdullahshahid2822]

Hi, thanks for the awesome content. Can you please let me know if it is possible that if a miniserver can send the change events of all devices connected to it on a single endpoint on my backend server. If yes, then how can I achieve it?

[@theautomationgym]

Thank you, much appreciated 🙏🏼 All states from 1 send should technically be possible - check the *communication with the Miniserver* github repository. If not mistaken, you pull the app.json file

[@abdullahshahid2822]

@@theautomationgym Thanks for your reply. Can you please perhaps provide a link to the repository? Much appreciated.
