I need to set a variable in BetterLogic from a HomeyScript

[Michael_Weller]

I just need to set a variable in BetterLogic from a Homey-Script.
But it look as if all examples in the net are outdated and I need to use a http fetch request.

But I can’t get it working.
Are there any actual working examples?

Start by asking this in the dedicated Better Logic topic please.

@Michael_Weller

it look as if all examples in the net are outdated

You mean the instructions on the BLL app store page don’t function?

Finanly I managed it…
Not much useable docu out there

If anyone is searching for the same,
here a working extract from me code:

let BLApp = await Homey.apps.getApp({id:"net.i-dev.betterlogic" });
const resBLput = await BLApp.put({path: '/BatteryLoadState/' + "100"});
console.log ("setVar", resBLput)

let check = await BLApp.get({path: '/BatteryLoadState'});
console.log("getVar", check);

You are just awesome! This works like a charm for me!

This was also what I have been looking for and indeed hard to find any documentation. Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk ,

To get a listing of all variables, there’s a URL mentioned on the app page in the app store:

http://192.168.12.34/api/app/net.i-dev.betterlogic/ALL
(192.169.12.34 is my Homey 2026 IP)

I’d like to use this URL in a HTTP GET request flow card, but it returns “401 Unauthorized”

This Hscript returns 401 as well

const url = `http://192.168.12.34/api/app/net.i-dev.betterlogic/all`;

fetch(url)
  .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
      console.log(data);
      })
    .catch(error => {
      console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
      });

When I change api to getapi both return ‘404 not found’

However:
When I adjust the script by Michael a bit, it returns my vars correctly:

let BLApp = await Homey.apps.getApp({id:"net.i-dev.betterlogic" });
const resBLget = await BLApp.get({path: '/all/'});
console.log ("AllVars", resBLget)
