Generate .json when script is ran

[dbowles1975]

Would it be possible to get this script to spit out a .json in the following format?

{
"posts": [
{ "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" }
],
"comments": [
{ "id": 1, "body": "some comment", "postId": 1 }
],
"profile": { "name": "typicode" }
}

My idea was to run the script as a cron and then set up JSON Server (fake REST API) to host the values. From there I was going to create virtual sensors in SmartThings and use webCoRE to apply those values to the sensors. This would give me all of my temperature data in SmartThings and allow me to run automations based on those values. My only hurdle is that I don't know enough about JSON to format in a way that JSON Server will accept.

I can definitely handle the SmartThings side of this with no problems.

Or maybe you've moved on and found a better way of doing this?

Very cool idea, I need to look into it, but I would think it should be possible. I am traveling on business this week and won't be able to test/code anything, but should have some time next week. I also have a Smartthings Hub and look forward to the final result
