I am attempting to utilize the 'Bond Bridge' through
PowerHome to control RF 315MHz/433MHz ceiling fans and
shades. Going through the Bond API (http://docs-
local.appbond.com/) I have been able to utilize cURL
commands to read status and control devices. I am now
in the process of moving the cURL commands into
PowerHome.
Reading through the Message Board, I found how to read
device status from the Bond Bridge using the ph_geturl1
command.
cURL command to read device state:
curl -H "BOND-Token: BOND-TOKEN-VALUE" -
i http://BOND-BRIDGE-IPADR/v2/devices//DEV-ID/state
Equivalent PowerHome command:
ph_geturl1("http://BOND-BRIDGE-
IPADR/v2/devices/DEV-ID/state","BOND-Token: BOND-TOKEN-
VALUE",5,5000)
Where I am stuck is implementing in PH the cURL "PUT"
option required to set the state of a device.
cURL command to set fan speed to 3:
curl -H "BOND-Token: BOND-TOKEN-VALUE"
-i http://BOND-BRIDGE-IPADR/devices/DEV-
ID/actions/SetSpeed -X PUT -d '{"argument": 3}'
I have seen references to implementing cURL command via
the ph_run1 command. Is that the preferred way? Or is
there a ph function that exists to directly handle the
PUT command via PowerHome?
All advice/help appreciated

Hi,
I'm not familiar with your specific devices or commands, but have you investigated:
ph_posturl1 ( as_url, as_postdata, ai_type, al_timeout )

Jerrem,
The ph_posturl1 function should do what you need. Based upon your cURL command, I believe the below will probably work but you may need to
check the ph_posturl1 help and try some of the other ai_type values (the example below is using 5).
ph_posturl1("http://BOND-BRIDGE-IPADR/devices/DEV-ID/actions /SetSpeed","BOND-Token: BOND-TOKEN-VALUE",'{"argument": 3}',5,2000)
Dave.

gg102 and Dave, thanks for your help!
The example Dave posted does seem to be the closest to
working. Unfortunately, executing the command with
ai_type 5 results in a 'method not allowed error' from
the Bond Bridge. I have tried all 13 ai_types, which
result in various error messages.
I am currently searching through the Bond Bridge user
forum for clues. In the example provided in the Bond
Bridge documentation, they explicitly call out using the
'PUT' option on the cURL command, which does work.
Do any PowerHome command options utilize PUT instead of
post? I am wondering if the Bond code may explicitly
discern between PUT and POST and that is why it is
flagging the error - still researching...
As always any help or suggestions are greatly
appreciated.
Jerry

Just an update - Using just Windows powershell, tried
replacing the
curl .. -X PUT...
option in the known working cURL command with
curl .. -X POST...
This resulted in the same error message 'method not
allowed error" being returned, as when I try to execute
the ph_posturl1 command.

Jerrem,
Try using the ph_httprequest() function. This function allows you to use other HTTP methods (such as PUT) instead of just the standard GET
and POST methods.
The function may need to be updated to make use of all the extra control types that I currently have in the ph_geturl1 and ph_posturl1
functions but it looks like alot of them are there.
I'll make a note to check on this.
Dave.

Dave:
The ph_httprequest command works nicely!
An example powerhome command to turn the light on a ceiling
fan to ON:
ph_httprequest("http://BOND-BRIDGE-IPADR/v2/devices/DEV-
ID/actions/TurnLightOn","BOND-Token: BOND-TOKEN-
VALUE","PUT",'{"argument":1}',5,5000,1)
Thank you
Jerry
