Cannot run external script.

Hi, I am trying to execute nodejs script from ha-bridge and getting errors, I set command type to “Execute Script/Program” and my command is [{"item":"nodejs ~/Downloads/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js 2 on", "type":"cmdDevice"}] The command nodejs ~/Downloads/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js 2 on runs fine in terminal. But running in ha-bridge I am getting error:

Request Error, Please look in your habridge log: error {“type”:6,“address”:“/lights/2”,“description”:“Error on calling out to device”,“parameter”:“/lights/2state”}

Looking into debug log I see

Decode Json for url items: [{"item":"[{\"item\":\"nodejs ~/Downloads/ha-nridge/scripts/led.js 2 on\"}]","type":"cmdDevice"}]
Exec Request called with url: [{"item":"nodejs ~/Downloads/ha-nridge/scripts/led.js 2 on"}]
Executing request: [{"item":"nodejs ~/Downloads/ha-nridge/scripts/led.js 2 on"}]    com.bwssystems.HABridge.plugins.exec.CommandHome
Could not execute request: [{"item":"nodejs ~/Downloads/ha-nridge/scripts/led.js 2 on"}]

Any idea what’s wrong? Thanks!

It’s working out beautifully. I put together a small blog post: http://codecorner.galanter.net/2017/02/24/full-control-of-your-limitless-ledmilight-v6-bulbs-from-amazon-echo/ maybe will be useful to others struggling with Milight v6.

Thanks,

Never mind, deleted and re-added the device and it’s is working now. Here’s final commands:

ON: nodejs /home/ygalanter/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js 2 on DIM: nodejs /home/ygalanter/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js 2 dim ${intensity.percent} OFF: nodejs /home/ygalanter/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js 2 off

btw, I am using https://github.com/mwittig/node-milight-promise module, which is a very nice wrapper for Milight v6. Maybe others can use it too.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, this is content of the led.sh (I am passing params to it):

#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/nodejs /home/ygalanter/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js $1 $2

if I call it from terminal as

/usr/bin/nodejs /home/ygalanter/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js 2 off

it works. But bridge stirll throws

You will need to have the whole command in the script:

/usr/bin/nodejs /home/ygalanter/ha-bridge/scripts/led.js 2 off

So it looks like the issue is that I was actually running it out of docker which is why it was not working.

It is all good now!!!
