WinCC V8.0 Step By Step 28: Create A REST Connection to Weather Service 🌩️🌞☔

[@shanmuhamsaravanan4708]

Your video tutorials are amazing sir Please do for Rest connector in post method. For example if I press a button it should send a payload of value 1 to the server and if server send value of 0 it should turn off again. Clearify this problem sir

I assume you want to push WinCC tag values to a REST Server. You can do this either through the Rest Connector, or the Cloud Connector. I can schedule a video for this but I have several videos in the queue right now to do. Use the cloud connector with a REST Connection to your REST Server. See this video (although it uses MQTT its the same Idea) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX-0dWqQfMScsNE . More details in the WinCC Help File under Interfaces, WinCC/Cloud Connector, Data Transfer to the cloud via REST.

nice video! Do you know how can you make it parametric for the CITY that you request the weather info? i.e. can you configure the endpoint with parameter ..&query= Thanks

[@WinCCGURU]

Yea you can query by city or zip code.

[@makistsintsikloglou721]

@@WinCCGURU yes, you can query the API, but how can you do it parametrically in WinCC? I would imagine there should be a way to have as a tag. But I can't see how you can specify a tag parameter for the endpoint.

[@WinCCGURU]

Yes you can. It allows you to do it in the interface. I’ll take a look when I get back to the office. Currently on vacation

​@@WinCCGURU I checked again, cannot find a place for a tag parameter. In "Mode" PUT/POST, we have a "Body" parameter, where you can put the json request, but it is disabled for GET. Unless they have a convention to parse the Edgepoint with something like ..&query= I think they have ommited to implement this functionality. Enjoy your vacation, and let me know if/when you get around to check this. Thanks a lot

hello, have you found a way to do this?
