Some Reolink API commands not working after upgrading NVR to v3.1.0.211_22102413

Balimelón

Dear All,

I have been using some Reolink API commands for quite a long time with no issues. I have integrated such commands in Home Assistant through cURL commands. However, I upgraded my NVR to the latest version a few days ago. Since then, some commands are still working but some are not. Specifically, I am missing the command to enable/disable PUSH notifications, which is a very useful option to be automated upon leaving and returning home.

These are the commands I issued until it stopped working:

TO ENABLE:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d ''[{"cmd":"SetPushV20","param":{"Push":{"enable":1}}}]'' "http://[NVR_IP]/api.cgi?cmd=SetPushV20&user=admin&password=[PASSWORD]"

TO DISABLE:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d ''[{"cmd":"SetPushV20","param":{"Push":{"enable":0}}}]'' "http://[NVR_IP]/api.cgi?cmd=SetPushV20&user=admin&password=[PASSWORD]"

According to latest API version v7, these commands haven't changed. However, the response to such cURL commands is now the following:

curl: (3) bad range in URL position 2:
[param:{Push:{enable:1}}]
 ^

Taking into the account such error, I have been trying different command parameters order. If I issue the following command, response is different (I am adding the --insecure option because it seems that Reolink new firmware accepts https requests only, and the certificate is a self-signed one):

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{"cmd": "SetPushV20","param": {"Push": {"enable": 1}}}]" "https://[NVR_IP]/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=SetPushV20&user=admin&password=[PASSWORD]" --insecure

RESPONSE:

[
  {
     "cmd" : "SetPushV20",
     "code" : 1,
     "error" : {
        "detail" : "please login first",
        "rspCode" : -6
     }
  }
]

It seems this command works. But, response is asking to login first, although the credentials are passed in the command in the same way it used to work before latest firmware upgrade. I know there is a TOKEN option, but I'd rather to use the "short-session" access option, because it is more convenient for the purpose. Nevertheless, I have tried the token option and behaviour is the same.

In order to compare with another command, the response of the following command is fine:

curl "https://192.168.0.55/api.cgi?cmd=GetPushV20&user=admin&password=Cabanillas2015" --insecure

RESPONSE:

[
  {
     "cmd" : "GetPushV20",
     "code" : 0,
     "value" : {
        "Push" : {
           "enable" : 0,
           "schedule" : {
              "channel" : 0,
              "table" : {
                 "AI_DOG_CAT" : "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",

                 "MD" : "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
              }
           },
           "scheduleEnable" : 1
        }
     }
  }
]

As you can see, the command response is the expected, and no "please loging first" message is issued, so I think there is a specific issue with certain commands, or the SetPushV20 one at least.

Typing some NVR information below for reference:

NVR Model: RLN8-410
NVR Hardware Version: N2MB02
Config Version: v3.0.0.0
Firmware Version: v.3.1.0.211_22102413

For the moment, I think I will downgrade the NVR, because this feature is quite important for me.

In the meantime, is anyone experiencing the same problem? Any way to fix this, please?

Thanks in advanced.
