Quick question I am struggling to find an answer for…
I am using openhab so get various info from my octoprint server.
An item looks like this:
Number OctoprintJobEstimatedPrintTime "Estimated Print Time [%.0f s]" <time> (gOctoprint) {http="<[http://96.69.1.215/api/job?apikey=myApiKeyABCDEF123456:60000:JSONPATH($.job.estimatedPrintTime)]"}
There are quite a few of these and my API key sometimes changes when I have to reinstall stuff etc etc, whatever.
I’d like to create a “virtual” item that is simply a string containing the API key, the insert that string variable into the URL above, so when the key changes I only have to update it in one place.
Something like this:
String OctoprintApiKey "Octoprint API Key" (gOctoprint) {"myApiKeyABCDEF123456"}
Number OctoprintJobEstimatedPrintTime "Estimated Print Time [%.0f s]" <time> (gOctoprint) {http="<[http://96.69.1.215/api/job?apikey=" + OctoprintApiKey + ":60000:JSONPATH($.job.estimatedPrintTime)]"}
Obviously, this doesn’t work else I wouldn’t be asking.
Can anyone help, or suggest a better way, please?
Cheers
