Can a Node Send json?
-
Please forgive my ignorance but I have searched and searched and not found what I was looking for. Please help.
I am making an RFID garage door opener (another) using the MIFARE Classic tags and a MySensors Node. It differs in that I am using the tags to store the tag holder name and encryption keys A & B (I know the generic MIFARE classic encryption has been hacked). What I am trying to do is send the card holders name, time scanned, time access granted or denied to Domoticz. I initially tried a text sensor (V_TEXT) but it only held 16 characters. However using json I can enter up to 40 easily. I can't use the Domoticz logs because from what I have found they only hold their log for several days at the max. I would rather have a dedicated log just for the garage door RFID system.
My question is, is there a way to send a json command through the mysensors network to my Ethernet gateway then onto Domoticz which is on a Pi on the same network.
Here is a the json format that Domoticz accepts:
http://"Domoticz_IP":8080/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx="IDX_of_TextSensor"&nvalue=0&svalue=Hello World -
I don't think it will be possible, because it is the gateway that handles the communication with the controller. Have you tried with V_CUSTOM type?
-
The maximum payload size is 25 bytes!
So there are some limitations. -

You either have to split the information in pieces that can be handled or have the controller do the handling for you.
Also Domoticz uses the S_CUSTOM type in a very specific way.scripting in Domoticz is easy in Lua. What I would suggest is to build your tag 'database' in Domoticz (eg. a sensor for each tag) and handle logging from LUA.
