Can the opensprinkler firmware make http API calls?

About to pull the trigger on switching to this device from an X10 rain8 setup that has run out of capacity.

I am curious if a station can be setup in such a way that instead of controlling anything it sends an API command to my isy zwave controller. This is for a greenhouse mister that runs on a 120V pump and is controlled by a zwave switch.

I would need the station on/off command to send something like this:
http://192.168.0.176/rest/nodes/ZW014_1/cmd/DON

Possible?

Thanks,
Graham

Yes it can. In fact, that’s exactly how the firmware makes weather calls and implements remote stations. It’s done by using the ether.browseUrl method:

https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Firmware/blob/master/OpenSprinkler.cpp#L1035

OK – so that looks like custom code to send to another device, or is there a way to plug an HTTP call into the gui?

Thanks.

If I understand it correctly, you are asking if there could be a ‘special station’ feature that triggers a general HTTP call, is that right? That’s an interesting question, and I think it’s fairly straightforward to extend the current ‘remote station’ feature to a general HTTP call. I will think about it.

Yes, exactly. Thanks for giving it consideration.
