Masayuki Akamatsu

I can turn a Philips Hue off with JavaScript.

http://10.0.1.2/api/masayukiakamatsu/lights/1/state");

But I can't describe it in a dict object (for maxurl).

http://10.0.1.2/api/masayukiakamatsu/lights/1/state",

false becomes null after saved. "false" and 0 doesn't work well.

So my question is how to describe a boolean value (true and false) in a dict object.

function bang()
{
	ajaxreq = new XMLHttpRequest();
	ajaxreq.open("PUT","http://10.0.1.2/api/masayukiakamatsu/lights/1/state");
	ajaxreq.send('{"on":false}');
}

false becomes null after saved.  "false" and 0 doesn't work well.

Hue isn't having it. I've tried other/manual JSON calls with false instead of a zero and that works perfectly, it's exactly as the HUE API describes. CURL commands also work. It's just Max that automatically translates the 'false' to a '0'.

Anybody got any bright ideas?

I was struggling with this as well, after a long search I've found the answer right here on the forum. The HUE lights respond now!

I'm having the same problem with booleans as "true"/"false" inside [dict].

In my case is for sending a http request with [maxurl] stored in a [dict]. Looks like either is parsed as int or as string if I apply quotes ("true").

Anyone any workaround? Am I missing a [dict] attribute or setting?
