Hi thanks Erel and eps

Did this mean that I must convert it first?
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.Exception: Sub submitjob signature does not match expected signature.

Must I change a data type? here are some documentation of the Hue lights
http://developers.meethue.com/9_datatypes.html

Can some one take a lookthere and tell me what i must add or change?

 

[eps]

What is the signature of submitjob?

 

[appie21]

Hi what is a siganure?

I found in my visualbasic code (where my lamps work) the following?
winHttpReq = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")


is that a signature

i found also a header
winHttpReq.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

how to handle in B4A?

Also many thanks for so far

 

[appie21]

Hi eps can youtel me more about the signature?

 

[appie21]

I have add my project

but i get now these errrors

Is there someone who know this?

JobName = Job3, Success = true


[vvv0=, vvv4=Job3, vvvv6=null


, vvv6=, vvv7=, vvvv1=class anywheresoftware.b4a.samples.httputils2.main
, vvvv2=http://192.168.1.41/api/newdeveloper/lights/2/state, vvvv3=5, vvvv4=anywheresoftware.b4a.http.HttpClientWrapper$HttpUriRequestWrapper@41f56ec0
, vvvv5=null, vvv5=true]

 

[Erel]

Which error?

 

[appie21]

Why did i notsee what i try to put?
i see
, vvvv2=http://192.168.1.41/api/newdeveloper/lights/2/state, vvvv3=5, vvvv4=anywheresoftware.b4a.http.HttpClientWrapper$HttpUriRequestWrapper@41f56ec0


what did this mean? what is wrap?

 

[Erel]

You are running your code in obfuscation mode. Run it in debug mode instead. It will be easier to understand the error messages.

 

[appie21]

Aha

nice

Now I get more result

see:

JobName = Job3, Success = true


[errormessage=, httputils2service=null, jobname=Job3


, main=null, mlink=http://192.168.1.41/api/newdeveloper/lights/1/state, password=
, req=anywheresoftware.b4a.http.HttpClientWrapper$HttpUriRequestWrapper@422695f8, username=, target=class anywheresoftware.b4a.samples.httputils2.main
, taskid=2, success=true] I am  here

Hi This look better But I do not need password and username how to remove?

Also my request what i try to sent is not visible? "{""on"": ""False""}"

 

[Erel]

I'm not sure what is the question. You are logging the job object. It prints all its fields.

Call Job.GetString if you want to get the response string.

 

[appie21]

Wow I thinkI am close now!

I get back

JobName = Job3, Success = true


[{"error":{"type":7,"address":"/lights/1/state/on","description":"invalid value, false, for parameter, on"}}]


[errormessage=, httputils2service=null, jobname=Job3
, main=null, mlink=http://192.168.1.41/api/newdeveloper/lights/1/state, password=
, req=anywheresoftware.b4a.http.HttpClientWrapper$HttpUriRequestWrapper@422ebb08, username=, target=class anywheresoftware.b4a.samples.httputils2.main
, taskid=2, success=true] I am  here

The philps hue documentation is here http://developers.meethue.com/gettingstarted.html
Can you help me again? What is the correct value?

From that page :
OnboolOn/Off state of the light. On=true, Off=false

So On or Off...

On : true

Off : false

 

[appie21]

Hithanks what do you mean by OnboolOn/Of

is it not that he sent on"}}] that the "symbols is add (that is wrong)
[{"error":{"type":7,"address":"/lights/1/state/on","description":"invalid value, false, for parameter, on"}}]

 

[appie21]

I got it!! Many thanks

"{""on"":false}")"

and i was sending "{""on"":false"" }")"

 

[eps]

It seems to think that you sent false with on, whereas it expects on to be sent with true.. Maybe it's because you didn't send anything with it, so it defaults nothing to false..?

e.g. (from the page you linked to)

{
"hue": 50000,
"on": true,
"bri": 200
}

 

[eps]

I got it!! Many thanks

"{""on"":false}")"

and i was sending "{""on"":false"" }")"

Bingo!

 

[eps]

To be honest on:false or on:true seems logical, but they seem to want them doubled up, which seems a little odd, but guess it's the way they've laid out their interface.
