Hi everyone, this is my first post and call for help to get Twitter fully working.

I have to thank Karl for dropping me an email with some debug output that pin pointed why twitter has stopped working.  This happened when I had to rework the code as the 1.0 API was being deprecated and I had to upgrade to the later API's.

I've pushed a beta 309.8 which should sort this out - I've not tested this fully but it looks right to me.

For completeness here is the debug output with the offending line highlighted.

but just remember it is 'Beta'.

Telnet into the HAH & run

/etc_ro_fs/update-dev hah-beta.dbzoo.com

Cheers,

Damn Twitter for screwing around with the API's..  Karl thanks for that. I'll debug this tonight. It might well be I just need to change this to use https.

Brett

Thanks for your work on this as Brett.

looking forward to getting this going again when I get back. Not touched HAH for a few months and starting to get withdrawal symptoms.

(think we may need to start a HAHanonymous group to help us folk that are afflicted with Home automation addiction syndrome )

:)

Great to see everyone rallying around to get this sorted.

I recall that the twitter piece was absolutely solid before an API change at their end messed things up. Here's hoping that after their IPO ($10Bn ish) they might do better on the backwards compatibility front.

Kev, now that your scripts are working, please consider posting them in the 'Example Scripts' forum section. The more sample scripts that are availalbe, the easier it is for others to learn.

Derek.

Kev,

After reading your post again it is evident you are very confused with the script writing.

please have another read through the wiki, especially the plugboard section.

basically the requirements of a script are (as I understand them):

1. a set of require statements so that we can use Brett's excellent libraries, amongst others.

2. an init() function which runs on startup, usually contains the filters which look for xap messages and then run a function when one received.( this is where you would tell the script to listen for events from your input of choice, or * for all inputs as per my script above)

3. One or more other functions that are called when the filter(s) conditions are met.

i will put together a very basic twitter post on input received script later so you can see the structure and modify it from there.

keep persevering it does come clearer with time, trust me i struggled big time at first.( still do in fact but am getting better). Plus you'll get more out of it if you can write scripts for your own individual requirements.

Garry

Update: basic script below, be aware I am away from by box so this is untested but I think its ok. Remeber if you want to use it, save it as something like "relay1tweetApplet.lua" in the plugboard directory. the Applet.lua bit is important.

-- Tweet on input 1 state on

module(...,package.seeall)
require("xap")
require("xap.bsc")
require("string")
info={
   version="1.0", description="Tweet on input 1 state on"
}

function tweet()
    local inputstate = xap.getValue("input.state","state")
    local msg = string.format("input 1 is %s", inputstate)
    bsc.sendText("dbzoo.livebox.Twitter",msg)
end

function init()
    f = xap.Filter()
    f:add("xap-header","source","dbzoo.livebox.Controller:input.1")
    f:add("xap-header","class","xAPBSC.event")
    f:add("input.state","state","on")
    f:callback(tweet)
end
