Need help with coding in script

[madpatrick]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the info for a JSON file in to a script.

1 2 3 4 5

def onMessagetoonSceneinfo(self, Connection, Response):     Domoticz.Debug("onMessagetoonSceneinfo called")     if 'states' in Response:         for state in Response['states']['state']:             self.scenes[state['id'][0]] = int(state['tempValue'][0])

But this gives the following error

Error:
2023-02-03 20:25:06.213 Error:  for state in Response['states']['state']:
2023-02-03 20:25:06.213 Error:  TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

The output of the JSON files is as follows

Output:
{
  "states": [
    {
      "state": [
        {
          "id": [
            "0"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "2000"
          ],
          "dhw": [
            "1"
          ]
        },
        {
          "id": [
            "1"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "1900"
          ],
          "dhw": [
            "1"
          ]
        },
        {
          "id": [
            "2"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "1700"

Who can help me with this

Many thanks

Response['states'] is a list of one or more dicts. states imply there may be more than one dict

Response['states'] is a list of one or more dicts

Hi Buran,

I'm sorry but i do not have a lot of knowlegde of python (yet)
What i try to achieve is to change a currrent script a bit to get a list of 4 scenes out of the JSON

Something like this:

self.scene1='1800'
self.scene2='1700'
self.scene3='1900'
self.scene4='2000'

this is the complete JSON

Output:
"states": [
    {
      "state": [
        {
          "id": [
            "0"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "2000"
          ],
          "dhw": [
            "1"
          ]
        },
        {
          "id": [
            "1"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "1900"
          ],
          "dhw": [
            "1"
          ]
        },
        {
          "id": [
            "2"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "1700"
          ],
          "dhw": [
            "1"
          ]
        },
        {
          "id": [
            "3"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "1800"
          ],
          "dhw": [
            "1"
          ]
        },
        {
          "id": [
            "4"
          ],
          "tempValue": [
            "1000"
          ],
          "dhw": [
            "1"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],

ID# = tempValue

[deanhystad]

By "scenes" do you mean these?

Output:
{'id': ['0'], 'tempValue': ['2000'], 'dhw': ['1']}
{'id': ['1'], 'tempValue': ['1900'], 'dhw': ['1']}
{'id': ['2'], 'tempValue': ['1700'], 'dhw': ['1']}
{'id': ['3'], 'tempValue': ['1800'], 'dhw': ['1']}
{'id': ['4'], 'tempValue': ['1000'], 'dhw': ['1']}

I got those like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

import json   with open("test.txt", "r") as file:     json_data = json.load(file)     states = json_data["states"][0]["state"]   print(*states, sep="\n")

The top level of your json file is a dictionary.
The dictionary has a key['states']. It appears to be the only key in the dictionary.
The value for 'states' is a list. In the example you posted, the list length is 1.
json_data['states'][0] is another dictionary. From your posted file it too appears to have only one key, 'state'.
json_data['states'][0]['state'] is another list. I think this list are the 'scenes' you mention.

Yes.
What i like to have
'id': ['1'], 'tempValue': ['1900']

With a output to be something like this

self.scene1=1900

ID1 must be self.scene1 with corresponding tempValue of ID1
ID2 must be self.scene2 with corresponding tempValue of ID2
etc...

Output:

It can be useful to make json data to a Pandas the DataFrame,then is easier to work with datat eg query and get a result.
Example.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

import pandas as pd import json   with open('state.json') as file:     json_data = json.load(file)   df = pd.json_normalize(json_data['states'][0], record_path='state')

Usage.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

>>> df     id tempValue  dhw 0  [0]    [2000]  [1] 1  [1]    [1900]  [1] 2  [2]    [1700]  [1] 3  [3]    [1800]  [1] 4  [4]    [1000]  [1]   >>> # Clean up >>> df = df.applymap(lambda x: x[0]).astype(int) >>> df    id  tempValue  dhw 0   0       2000    1 1   1       1900    1 2   2       1700    1 3   3       1800    1 4   4       1000    1   >>> # To eg get id-1 tempValue >>> df.query('id == 1')['tempValue'] 1    1900   >>> val = df.query('id == 1')['tempValue'] >>> val.values[0] 1900

Many thanks for your support.
This helped a lot

Still getting this error

Error:
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

How can i solve this?

[snippsat]

The input JSON as your complete posted is not valied
Tips use jsoncrack to check if valid and see structure.
state.json

Output:
{
  "states": [
    {
      "state": [
        {
          "id": [
            "0"

          "dhw": [

Code of your code and print it,insted of the log stuff.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

import json   with open('state.json') as file:     Response = json.load(file)     if 'states' in Response:         for state in Response["states"][0]["state"]:             print("id ="+ state["id"][0] + " Temp =" + state["tempValue"][0])

Output:
id =0 Temp =2000
id =1 Temp =1900
id =2 Temp =1700
id =3 Temp =1800
id =4 Temp =1000

With f-string.

Hi snippsat

Thank for the JSON check site.
I've check the JSON and it is correct.
Probably a copy/pase error to the forum

What i'm look for is not an output to a log or text
I want the output from the JSON as variable

So
Scene0 = Tempvalue for ID 0
Scene1 = Tempvalue for ID 1
etc...

Then further in the script use this variable as and equation
