How to remote start/stop an instance?

[Callahan78]

Hi,
in addition to my main instance, I have two more instances for Nanoleaf panels. I would like to switch these two Nanoleaf instances on and off via ioBroker. As far as I understand, this should be possible via the JSON API. But I have no idea what I need to configure. Is this documented somewhere or are there examples?

Hi
The "Start/Stop Instance" command in the Advanced->JSON API tab should work. You can also combine two commands (stop one instance and start the other) into one http/GET link command: the page mentioned above describes how to do this. As for ioBroker, I don't use it, so I can't help.

Meanwhile I found out how to start/stop all instances:
https://servername/json-rpc?request=%7B%22command%22:%22componentstate%22,%22componentstate%22:%7B%22component%22:%22ALL%22,%22state%22:true%7D%7D

But I didn´t find out how to start/stop a single instance. I tried to replace tge "ALL" by instance name ("Nano1") but it didn´t work.

Thats diffent command: use the command I told you. It's in the middle of HyperHDR JSON page.

I have no "Start/Stop Instance" . . . .

you must scroll down the page

It's somehow not working for me. I try to start the default instance 0, but it failed.

I can switch to instance 0 successfully:

{```

"command": "instance-switchTo",
"info": {
    "instance": 0
},
"success": true,
"tan": 0

}

Howevever, when I try to start the instance 0, it get an error message:

{
"command": "instance-startInstance",
"error": "Can't start HyperHDR instance index 0",
"success": false,
"tan": 0
}

Stopping the instance doesn't show an error, however the instance isn't stopped 

{
"command": "instance-stopInstance",
"success": true,
"tan": 0
}

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

it has prehistoric roots from Hyperion: you can't completely turn instance 0 off, it is always running. If you need it, move it to e.g. 1 and leave 0 unused/empty.
