iobroker.cloud

ioBroker cloud adapter

This adapter allows connection from the internet through ioBroker cloud to local installation of ioBroker.

This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information how to disable the error reporting see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.

Settings

APP-KEY

To use cloud adapter you should first get the APP-Key on https://iobroker.net.

This is application key that the user can get on https://iobroker.net site. Please get the key there and enter it here.

Instance

All requests from cloud adapter will be routed to specific WEB Instance. User must specify here the WEB instance, that will be showed to user, when he logs in https://iobroker.net site.

Allow self-signed certificates

If you use standard iobroker.net cloud, you can deactivate it. This option is only important if own cloud used.

Alexa settings

Alexa is not supported in cloud adapter anymore. Use ioBroker.iot adapter for that.

Services

There is a possibility to send messages to cloud adapter. If you call [POST]https://iobroker.net/service/custom_<NAME>/<user-app-key> und value as payload.

curl --data "myString" https://iobroker.net/service/custom_test/<user-app-key>

If you set in the settings the field "White list for services" the name custom_test, and call with "custom_test" as the service name, the state cloud.0.services.custom_test will be set to myString.

You may write "*" in white list and all services will be allowed.

From version 2.0.5 you can use GET request in form [GET]https://iobroker.net/service/custom_<NAME>/<user-app-key>/<data> to place the \<data\> into cloud.0.services.custom_\<NAME\>.

Here you can find instructions on how to use it with tasker.

IFTTT service is allowed only if IFTTT key is set.

Reserved names are "ifttt", "text2command", "simpleApi", "swagger". These must be used without the "custom_" prefix.

text2command

You may write text2command in white list, you can send POST request to https://iobroker.net/service/text2command/<user-app-key> to write data into text2command.X.text variable.

"X" can be defined in settings by the "Use text2command instance" option.

simpleApi

You can use following commands (only pro):

• [GET]https://iobroker.pro/service/simpleApi/<user-app-key>/get/stateID - to read state value => {"val":103.516,"ack":true,"ts":1604132484682,"q":0,"from":"system.adapter.admin.0","lc":1604132469672,"result":"OK"}
• [GET]https://iobroker.pro/service/simpleApi/<user-app-key>/getPlainValue/stateID - to read state value => 103.641
• [GET]https://iobroker.pro/service/simpleApi/<user-app-key>/set/stateID?value=1 - to set state value => {"result":"OK"}

Don't forget to add simpleApi to allowed services in the configuration.

Limitations

If HTTPs (Security) or authentication is enabled on defined web-instance, it does not work.

You can deactivate HTTPS and authentication on this web instance, but better is to create a new web instance that is bound to localhost and select this instance in cloud-settings.
