[Fixed] Webhooks callbacks are not reliable!

[BulldogLowell]

OK, I have a very FREAKY thing to report in this category...

I was playing around with webhooks, trying to get them to work as in here:

Subscribe to a Webhook response triggered by a specific device

So I have been thinking and messing around and read this from @ScruffR made me think… “what about using Particle.subscribe() and using the device’s own ID” like this: void setup() { myDeviceID = System.deviceID(); Particle.variable("deviceID", myDeviceID, STRING); Particle.variable("SunriseTime", &message, STRING); Particle.subscribe("hook-response/sun_time", sunTimeHandler, myDeviceID); } but, it doesn’t seem to respond… entire test code: struct deviceTime{ int Hour; int Minu…

So I created a webhook like this using deviceid like this:

JimBrowerMacbookPro:desktop browerjames$ particle webhook create sunrise_sunset.json
Using settings from the file sunrise_sunset.json
Sending webhook request  { uri: 'https://api.particle.io/v1/webhooks',
  method: 'POST',
  json: true,
  form: 
   { event: 'sun_time',
     url: 'http://api.wunderground.com/api/redacted/astronomy/q/{{myState}}/{{myCity}}.json',
     requestType: 'POST',
     headers: null,
     query: null,
     responseTemplate: '{{#sun_phase}}{{sunrise.hour}}~{{sunrise.minute}}~{{sunset.hour}}~{{sunset.minute}}~{{/sun_phase}}',
     json: null,
     auth: null,
     deviceid: '{{SPARK_CORE_ID}}',
     mydevices: true,
     access_token: 'redacted' } }

and it didn't return at all... then I modified it back...

JimBrowerMacbookPro:desktop browerjames$ particle webhook create sunrise_sunset.json
Using settings from the file sunrise_sunset.json
Sending webhook request  { uri: 'https://api.particle.io/v1/webhooks',
  method: 'POST',
  json: true,
  form: 
   { event: 'sun_time',
     url: 'http://api.wunderground.com/api/redacted/astronomy/q/{{myState}}/{{myCity}}.json',
     requestType: 'POST',
     headers: null,
     query: null,
     responseTemplate: '{{#sun_phase}}{{sunrise.hour}}~{{sunrise.minute}}~{{sunset.hour}}~{{sunset.minute}}~{{/sun_phase}}',
     json: null,
     auth: null,
     coreid: '{{SPARK_CORE_ID}}',
     mydevices: true,
     deviceid: undefined,
     access_token: 'redacted' } }
Successfully created webhook with ID redacted

but the file does not have deviceid in it!!!!

My webhook file:

{
"event": "sun_time",
"url": "http://api.wunderground.com/api/6b82bd24e2449d28/astronomy/q/{{myState}}/{{myCity}}.json",
"requestType": "POST",
"headers": null,
"query": null,
"responseTemplate": "{{#sun_phase}}{{sunrise.hour}}~{{sunrise.minute}}~{{sunset.hour}}~{{sunset.minute}}~{{/sun_phase}}",
"json": null,
"auth": null,
"coreid": "{{SPARK_CORE_ID}}",
"mydevices": true
}

well, lo and behold... it now returns 100% of the time!?!?!? yes, that is 100%, not one error after one hour of sending every 30 seconds.... What?

Just look at this:

Ok I am officially befuddled.... @Dave ?

it still does not return how I want, but 100% reliability... unprecedented. I wonder if the examples are not missing a key field?

WOW interesting...
