New Zoneminder Binding for Zoneminder versions >= 1.34.0

Add-ons Bindings
181

Yes and Yes - API is enabled as well as a user (openhab) setup… and the user has API rights…

if I enter:
http://ipaddress/zm/api/host/getVersion.json

I get:

{“success”:false,“data”:{“name”:“Not Authenticated”,“message”:“Not Authenticated”,“url”:"/zm/api/host/getVersion.json",“exception”:{“class”:“UnauthorizedException”,“code”:401,“message”:“Not Authenticated”}}}

when I enable: OPT_USE_LEGACY_API_AUTH

i get:

{“version”:“1.34.21”,“apiversion”:“2.0”}

hope this helps to solve my problem…?

Does your username or password have any special characters (including ? & etc)? There’s currently a bug relating to url encoding of the username and password.

If so, I can give you a version that has a fix for this.

183

Nope…

pass is:

but I’ll change it in a few seconds :slight_smile:

but even if I turn off authentification it will not connect…

Hmm. You shouldn’t need OPT_USE_LEGACY_API_AUTH. Just OPT_USE_AUTH and the user name and password in the Zoneminder Server thing config.

185

thats what I thought… however, If I don’t enable OPT_USE_LEGACY_API_AUTH I get the error above when I enter the http://ipaddress/zm/api/host/getVersion.json

If I enable OPT_USE_LEGACY_API_AUTH i get the version and apiversion

186

I can login and do everything normaly on the zoneminder server through chrome…

187

AUTH_RELAY is set to hashed… :thinking:

just edited the host… and got this log output

Can you try this from the shell?

curl -XPOST -d "user=YOURUSERNAME&pass=YOURPASSWORD&stateful=1" http://IPADDRESS/zm/api/host/login.json

You should get something like this.

{"access_token":"XXXXXXXXX","access_token_expires":3600,"refresh_token":"YYYYYYYY","refresh_token_expires":86400,"version":"1.34.21","apiversion":"2.0"}

Here’s what my config looks like. I’m running 1.34.21.

Is your Zoneminder on http or https? I don’t think it’s ever been tested on https. :frowning_face:

192

My zoneminder is not https, but the apache server its behind is…

please visit https://url.com/zm and you see the login page

maybe its a ssl certificate error?

193

Ah. Can your openHAB directly access the http zoneminder instance (either by host name or ip address)?

194

well my sitemap can grab the video with:

test user has no API…

195

The binding currently won’t use https. I never added that because ZM didn’t support https directly.

I could build you a version that uses https for you to try. If it works, I can add a config option in the binding to select http or https. Let me know if you’d like to test it.

196

Yes, and thank you for your support - really appreciate!

197

Try this version. You first will need to remove the older binding version in addons before adding this one.

wow… THX thats working now!!! :grinning:

I owe you a few beers… whenever you get the chance to come to Vienna Austria :wink:

Awsome support !

199

Ok. I’ll add a config option to select http or https. Might not get around to that for a few days. In the meantime, at least you’re working now. :wink:

Haven’t been there for quite a few years. Beautiful city.

True, and excelent beer :wink: is waiting - so once this pandemic sheit is over - its waiting for you!
