Hi

I'm looking to add some extensions to IWS that interact with Indigo (listing devices and actions) and a local SQLITE database. I can't find the IWS API docs anywhere, just the ones for plugins.... can you point me in the right direction?

I can implement my own webserver as a plugin with Twistd, but then I don't get to use the cool Prism stuff outside my network....

Thanks!

This guide is all we have. We haven't spent a lot of time on docs since we're planning on replacing the current mechanism with IOM-compatible version at some point. That's not happening anytime soon though.

Thanks

Is there any way to enable (or view) debug data for IWS? If I've got a compile or other startup exception in my code, it's just buried and the plugin doesn't load (into IWS).

Does IWS output exceptions anywhere I can see them?....

Ahah - a little reverse engineering revealed the "-d" option if I start from the command line.
Indigo is so awesome!

Yep, also take a look at the indigowebstart script inside the IndigoWebServer/devhelpers/ folder. I use those scripts to start/stop it from the Terminal when debugging.

Thanks.

It looks like you've been a little creative with overriding the REST support within Cherrypy.
What suggestions do you have for me implementing a REST handler that's done "the Indigo way"?

Simply implementing the GET methods doesn't seem to work...

If you want to control Indigo via the web server, with Python....

I already have a Python wrapper for the Indigo restful interface. It certainly can be improved on, and/or enhanced...
Please feel free to send feedback, and/or suggestions...

I think he wants to extend the Indigo Web Server RESTful API to handle his extensions, not call the RESTful API from a different host.

Did you look at the variablesreqhandler.py file? That might serve as a good template example of how Indigo implements the RESTful commands for variables. I would think you could do something similar.

Note that as Jay mentioned we will be rewriting the IndigoWebServer to use the new Indigo plugin architecture and object model. That will include some pretty large changes, and I'm not positive that the old style IWS Plugins will be compatible with the newer version... we'll have to see.
