Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else has successfully implemented a way to temporarily disable ad blocking from a PiHole through the trigger of a virtual switch in Hubitat. I used to be able to accomplish this using the API in PiHole version 5, but the API for PiHole version 6 is completely rewritten and a bit over my head. The documentation for the PiHole API is here http://pi.hole/api/docs/ . I've asked ChatGPT to help create a Hubitat app where I turn on a virtual switch and it sends the appropriate API command to the PiHole (app code below).

input "piHoleIP", "text", title: "Pi-hole IP Address (e.g., 192.168.1.100)", required: true
input "piHolePassword", "password", title: "Pi-hole Password", required: true
input "disableDuration", "number", title: "Disable Time (seconds)", defaultValue: 3600
}

}

def updated() {

initialize()
}
def initialize() {
subscribe(triggerSwitch, "switch.on", eventHandler)
}
def eventHandler(evt) {
log.debug "Trigger received, starting Pi-hole disable sequence."
authenticateToPiHole()
}
def authenticateToPiHole() {
def params = [
uri: "http://${piHoleIP}:80/api/auth",
requestContentType: 'application/json',
contentType: 'application/json',
body: "{\"password\":\"${piHolePassword}\"}"
]
try {
httpPost(params) { resp ->
if (resp.data?.session?.sid) {
def sid = resp.data.session.sid
log.debug "Authenticated. SID: ${sid}"
disableBlocking(sid)
} else {
log.error "Authentication failed: ${resp.data}"
resetTriggerSwitch()
}
}
} catch (e) {
log.error "Error authenticating: ${e.message}"
resetTriggerSwitch()
}
}
def disableBlocking(sid) {
def params = [
uri: "http://${piHoleIP}/api/dns/blocking?sid=${sid}",
requestContentType: 'application/json',
contentType: 'application/json',
body: [blocking: false, timer: disableDuration]
]
try {
httpPost(params) { resp ->
if (resp.status == 200) {
log.info "Blocking disabled for ${disableDuration} seconds."
logoutPiHole(sid)
} else {
log.error "Failed to disable blocking: ${resp.status}"
resetTriggerSwitch()
}
}
} catch (e) {
log.error "Error disabling blocking: ${e.message}"
resetTriggerSwitch()
}
}
def logoutPiHole(sid) {
def params = [
uri: "http://${piHoleIP}/api/auth?sid=${sid}"
]
try {
httpDelete(params) { resp ->
log.debug "Logged out of Pi-hole session."
resetTriggerSwitch()
}
} catch (e) {
log.error "Error logging out: ${e.message}"
resetTriggerSwitch()
}
}
def resetTriggerSwitch() {
runIn(2, turnOffTriggerSwitch)
}
def turnOffTriggerSwitch() {
if (triggerSwitch.currentSwitch == "on") {
triggerSwitch.off()
log.debug "Trigger switch turned off."
}
}
However, with this app I keep getting this log in Hubitat.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
