Send command to trigger macro via HTTP?

Post by Livin »

I want to run a script, via XBMC, to send a web/http command to trigger a macro.

I've been trying the following code and appreciate any help you can give.

import urllib
WEBSVR = "http://192.168.2.11:8082/control.html?"
macroname = "wmc.load"
# Encode the data
params = urllib.urlencode({macroname})
# Send POST command
urllib.urlopen(WEBSVR, params)
setup... XBMC, W7MC for DVR & Live OTA TV, JRMC for multi-zone audio, EG, MiCasaVerde Vera3, USB-UIRT IR receiver, Harmony remote, 5.2 home theater system

got it working.

I did a single command...

import urllib
urllib.urlopen('http://localhost:8082/control.html?wmc.load')


btw, for anyone new to this, it looks like any HTML file can be used as EG simply looks for the argument after the ? and sees it as a trigger.
