hello,
i want to translate my OH2 setup here http binding into the new OH3

Bt i am completely lost with the switch

here is my old setup

item:

Switch item_pihole_enabled "PiHole" ["Switchable"] { http="<[pihole_http_cache:20000:JS(getPiHoleStatus.js)]" }

transform.js

( function (input) { var parsedInput = JSON.parse(input); if (parsedInput.status === 'enabled') { return 'ON'; } return 'OFF'; } )(input);

rule

rule "Enable PiHole"
 when 
Item item_pihole_enabled received command ON
 then 
var String HTTPString = "http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?enable&auth=API_TOKEN" HTTPString.sendHttpGetRequest(20000); end rule "Disable PiHole" when Item item_pihole_enabled received command OFF then var String HTTPString = "http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?disable&auth=API_TOKEN" HTTPString.sendHttpGetRequest(20000); 
end

my OH3 thing

Thing http:url:pihole "pihole api" [ baseURL="http://pihole.fritz.box/admin/api.php", refresh=3600] {
    Channels:
        Type number : PiHole_DomainsBeingBlocked "Domains being blocked [%d]" [ stateTransformation="JSONPATH:$.domains_being_blocked" ]


}

can someone help me?

I’ve been moving to a UI based config and done things slightly different in that I have a Proxy item to switch the status of PiHole - easy to define as it wouldn’t be assigned a channel:

Switch PiHole_Toggle "PiHole" ["Switchable"]

I then use a rule that updates the toggle in case the PiHole admin interface is used to disable it (note: there will be a delay in the update depending on your refresh interval). The rule is triggered by a the status item changing.

if (event.itemState.toString == 'enabled') {
  events.postUpdate('PiHole_Toggle', ON)
} else {
  events.postUpdate('PiHole_Toggle', OFF)
}

Finally, I have a javascript for the toggle (I’ve left logging commands in which are set to warn as they show up in a different color )

var APIKEY = "XXXXXXXXXX"
var PIHOLE_IP = "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"

var logger = Java.type('org.slf4j.LoggerFactory').getLogger('org.openhab.rule.' + ctx.ruleUID);
logger.warn( "[PiHole] Toggle - Item: " + event.itemName);
logger.warn( "[PiHole] Toggle - State: " + event.itemCommand);

var client = java.net.http.HttpClient.newBuilder().build();
function httpGet(uri) {
  //logger.warn( "[PiHole] Toggle - Get: " + uri);
  try {
    var request = java.net.http.HttpRequest.newBuilder()
      .GET()
      .uri(java.net.URI.create(uri))
      .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
      .build();
    var response = client.send(request, java.net.http.HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
    //logger.warn( "[PiHole] Toggle - Response: " + response.body());
    return response.body();
  } catch (e) {
    print(e);
  }
}

//build request URL
var url = "http://" + PIHOLE_IP + "/admin/api.php?auth=" + APIKEY
if (event.itemCommand == OFF) {
  url = url + "&disable=300";
} else {
  url = url + "&enable=300";
}

//logger.warn( "[PiHole] Toggle - Url: " + url);
logger.warn( "[PiHole] Toggle - Response: " + httpGet(url));

I tried this

Thing http:url:pihole "pihole api" [ baseURL="http://pihole.fritz.box/admin/api.php", refresh=3600, commandMethod="GET"] {
    Channels:
        Type switch : PiHole_Switch "Status [%s]" [ stateTransformation="JSONPATH:$.status", commandExtension="%2$s", onValue="enable&auth=TOKEN", offValue="disable&auth=TOKEN" ]
}

But this is not running

@J-N-K can you help me?

No. Try setting in UI and Post YAML if it is not working.

    stateTransformation: JSONPATH:$.status
    commandExtension: “%2$s”

But still not working

And what is not working?

7

I want to disable or enable my pihole instance this is done by the URL

pihole.fritz.box/admin/api.php?enable&auth=token

But with my switch it is not possible to enable or disable the pihole instance and with this “stateTransformation: JSONPATH:$.status” I want that my switch is “on” when pihole.fritz.box/admin/api.php json status is shown “enable” and “OFF” when the api.php shows disable.

it is runing now
