Getting data from Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor

[pioneersteffen]

Hi,

funny thing I just started working on the same topic today. :-)

I got it working for the motion state:

1.) Add the following code to the hue user library script:

Code:

-- function get data from sensors
function getHueSensors()
  local response = {}
  body_searchHueSensors= ''
  -- Set username for LogicMachine
  socket.http.request({
  url = "http://"..ip_add.."/api/"..user.."/sensors",
  method = 'GET',
        sink = ltn12.sink.table(response),
  headers = {
          ['content-length'] = #body_searchHueSensors,
          ['content-type'] = 'application/json',
  },
          source = ltn12.source.string(body_searchHueSensors),
  })
  return response
end

2.) Implement a resident script (example for motion):

Code:

addressmapping = {
  -- Name                  -- Presence FB       
  ['Hue motion 1'] = {state = '47/2/6', statevalue = ''},

}


-- Use logging
logging = true

require('user.hue')
require('json')

  reply = getHueSensors()
  mysensors = json.pdecode(reply[1])
  for _, item in pairs(mysensors) do

    -- Check if sensor is found by bridge otherwise it make no sense to send commands
    if item.config.reachable == true then

      -- On/Off
      name = addressmapping[item.name]
      if name then
        addr = addressmapping[item.name]['state']
        if addr and addr ~= '' then
          currentvalue = addressmapping[item.name]['statevalue']
          if currentvalue ~= item.state.presence then
            grp.update(addr, item.state.presence)
            addressmapping[item.name]['statevalue'] = item.state.presence
            if logging == true then
              log('sensor ' .. item.name .. ' state is: ' .. tostring(item.state.presence))
            end
          end
        end
      end 
    end


  end

If you want to have the temperature just looking for the name inside the json e.g. = Hue outdoors temp. sensor 1" and change: "item.state.presence" to "item.state.temperature". This is working I tested it. Due to I just want to have the motion state I didn't implemented it.

To get the json "readable" I used: https://jsonformatter.org/json-parser

I hope this is helping you.
