Doorbird API

Try this resident script (sleep time = 0), change USER and PASS to your auth data. It will log all incoming data (log(line)). This is to check if there are any errors during communication. If everything is working then comment/delete this line.

Code:

if not sock then
  host = '192.168.100.211'
  port = 80
  path = '/bha-api/monitor.cgi?ring=doorbell,motionsensor&http-user=USER&http-password=PASS'

  sock = require('socket').tcp()
  sock:settimeout(10)
  res, err = sock:connect(host, port)

  if res then
    sock:send(
      'GET ' .. path .. ' HTTP/1.1\r\n' ..
      'Host: ' .. host .. '\r\n\r\n'
    )
  else
    alert('connect failed: ' .. tostring(err))
    sock:close()
    sock = nil
    os.sleep(5)
  end
end

line, err = sock:receive()

if line then
  log(line)

  if line:find('doorbell:') then
    status = line:split(':')[2]
    log('doorbell', line)
  elseif line:find('motionsensor:') then
    status = line:split(':')[2]
    log('motionsensor', status)
  end
else
  alert('receive failed: ' .. tostring(err))
  sock:close()
  sock = nil
end

Thank You! It seems it does work, but it has a strange behaviour - I get the data fine, but I still get alert: "receive failed:timeout" - is this something I should worry about and check out or I could just comment the alert line and ignore it?
