I'm trying to get data from the respnonse "actualvolume"
I've been exploring the forum here but i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
Parse type: Jhson
I get this response:
{"?xml":{"@version":"1.0","@encoding":"UTF-8"},"volume":{"@deviceID":"C4F312D5994F","targetvolume":"16","actualvolume":"16","muteenabled":"false"}}
Can it be a bOS bug?
First: It doesn't make sense that the Response Data updates, and the Response Data Xml to Json doesn't... as it's supposed to be updated according to the Response Data received...everytime the Response Data changes, the Xml to Json is supposed to change also.
Second: It doesn't make sense the Tokens don't extract anything, because if we check the Json response in any online expression tester, the values are correct:
Using JSONPath Expression Tester web service (https://jsonpath.curiousconcept.com/), which is the one I use all the time to test the expressions before getting them on bOS, if you past the following expression:
{
"?xml":{
"@version":"1.0",
"@encoding":"UTF-8"
},
"volume":{
"@deviceID":"C4F312D5994F",
"targetvolume":"16",
"actualvolume":"16",
"muteenabled":"false"
}
}
And place volume.actualvolume on the Expression, you get this as an answer:
[ "16" ]
BUT, only by using the called JSONPath 0.2.5 or above... below that implementation, the response is empty.
bOS team, can you help us out here?
Nothing changes
I turned the volume with the Bose remote up to 12, when I push the button in Bos Theme "Get current volume" the response data changes to 12 BUT the response Data Xml to Json remains on the 10!!!
I Get a reading (communication between the Bose and Bos).
Ah BTW, can you change the parser type to XML on the device?
And post again the responses?

Can you do a little test?
Create 2x Double values:
Name: Target Volume double
Token name: targetvolume
Name: Actual Volume double
Token name: actualvolume
Create 2x String values:
Name: Target Volume string
Token name: targetvolume
Name: Actual Volume string
Token name: actualvolume
I tested the response on several online converters / parsers, and I believe that:
If we keep the <?xml version...?> part, the correct token name should be volume.targetvolume and volume.actualvolume
{
"?xml":{
"@version":"1.0",
"@encoding":"UTF-8"
},
"volume":{
"@deviceID":"C4F312D5994F",
"targetvolume":"16",
"actualvolume":"16",
"muteenabled":"false"
}
}
But if you remove the <?xml version...?>, the correct token name is actually only targetvolume and actualvolume, just the text, with no "." after or before.
{
"deviceID": "C4F312D5994F",
"targetvolume": "10",
"actualvolume": "10",
"muteenabled": "false"
}
Can you test the token names only with targetvolume and actualvolume without any dots?
The double and strings values, are just to test the correct format. I supposed that the values from volume are coming as double values, but you can test both
Hi,
I read the Bose API documentation, and they say that when using GET and POST commands, the data must be formatted in correct XML. So far so good.
But the point here, is that you get the correct response from the unit on the command. But when using the token, it doesn't extract the value. Right now I'm only concerned about the simple GET commands, and as soon as fixed move on to the POST data commands.
If you open the following URL in your browser http://192.168.2.209:8090/volume do you get an answer?
I suppose you get something like:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<volume deviceID="$MACADDR">
<targetvolume>$INT</targetvolume>
<actualvolume>$INT</actualvolume>
<muteenabled>$BOOL</muteenabled>
</volume>
Right?
Please copy past your XML answer here. The one you get from the browser, and the one you get on bOS command from "Response Data".

When I look at the Bose website (special-types) it looks like the response is a flag?
sorry for being a amateur, but when I able to retrieve the responsdata and publish it in bos I'm on a go.

Hello,
Seems you were using wrong token name, you should be using XML parser and token name should be volume.actualvolume. Did you try this as well?
Best regards.
