I've got the free version of PRTG running at home, and I've also got quite a few Hue lights, and I was interested in seeing if I could keep tabs of the reachability of the Hue bulbs - for fun, just to try out the possibilities.
The API call to look up a specific light status is as follows:
http://192.168.0.111/api/77DiCq1MBnwE4W9IbIoVonQ65moMIseEuw6ui-sB/lights/10
And this is the JSON response.
{ "state": { "on": true, "bri": 254, "hue": 14956, "sat": 140, "effect": "none", "xy": [ 0.4571, 0.4097 ], "ct": 366, "alert": "none", "colormode": "ct", "reachable": true }, "type": "Extended color light", "name": "Bonus Room Desk", "modelid": "LCT007", "manufacturername": "Philips", "uniqueid": "00:17:88:01:10:5a:79:90-0b", "swversion": "5.50.1.19085" }
I was using the HTTP XML/Rest Value sensor to try and test the result - I'd rather not have to write a custom sensor for this. Unfortunately, while I can point at the value for "reachable" with "state/reachable" in the XML Node, I'm not sure how to determine whether the value is "true" or "false".
Ideas?
