@jkandasa Turned out that EEPROM was not cleared properly with 0xFF

Here is a sample REST API call that modifies MyController repository variable:

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"Var1","value":"222"}' "http://demo:demo@demo.mycontroller.org/mc/rest/variables"

Thanks. Your fix helped

@jkandasa Yes, followed https://easyengine.io/tutorials/linux/ubuntu-postfix-gmail-smtp/ and got it working in short time.

@jkandasa We need some mechanism to prevent race condition.

@benya I verified, Groovy could execute external tools. Tested with Demo system:

return "ls".execute().text.split("\n")

Result:

{
  "mcResult": [
    "Publicbroker-wstestmosquittoorg8080mqtt",
    "h2",
    "start.bat",
    "start.sh",
    "start_.sh",
    "stop.sh",
    "test_19Kz0-tcpwantsoftru1883",
    "test_48n0f-tcpwantsoftru1883",
    "test_FzOqu-tcpwantsoftru1883",
    "test_epPgp-tcpwantsoftru1883",
    "tmp"
  ]
}

@jkandasa Seems mcApi.timer().update(myTimer); causes timer to loose references to the operations and doesn't trigger operation when enabled again.

I had better luck with the following code:

def filters = [:];
filters.put("name", "Timer1");
def myTimer = mcApi.timer().get(filters);

def timerIds = [myTimer.getId()];
mcApi.timer().disable(timerIds)

mcApi.timer().enable(timerIds)

I figured how to set dummy sensor by script called through REST API.

I created "Set DummySensor" groovy script:

def uid = "DummySensor"
def value = "1"
def sensor = mcApi.uidTag().getByUid(uid).getResource()
sensor.setValue(value)
mcApi.sensor().sendPayload(sensor);

and call it through the REST API:

curl "http://admin:admin@localhost:9880/mc/rest/scripts/runNow?bindings=%7B+%7D&script=operations%2FSet+DummySensor.groovy&scriptBindings=%7B%7D"

I defined rule that gets triggered when dummy sensor value changes.
No 5 sec delays anymore. Cool!
