Python Script HTTP Request/Toggle POE Device

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I am working with a number of POE Camera devices that periodically lose feed and require being toggled to resolve.

While in a state of having no feed the devices are pingable but get no response from a HTTP request.

I have wrote a Python script that uses a JSON file with all device names/entity _ids and ip addresses.

My plan is iterate through JSON file as python dictionary, send HTTP request, then, if request fails then toggle the POE device.

import requests
import json
# import excel2json
import os
import re

def getHTTPReq(value):
  # HTTP Req False until else proven otherwise
  result = False
  # Strip IP to identify empty strings
  if(value.strip() == ""):
    #print("\nInvalid IP Address")
    return False
  else:
    address = 'https://'+ value +'/'
    #print("\nSent request to " + address)
    # Try-Catch Request Exceptions
    try:
      result = requests.get(address)
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: 
      #print("Caught RequestException....")
      # print(str(e))
    # Result is 'requests.models.Response' Class
    return str(result) == "<Response [200]>"

failedList = []

# Open JSON File
with open('Camera ports.json') as json_file:
  jsonFile = json.load(json_file)

# Itterate through each JSON Object
for eachCamera in jsonFile:
  reqAddress = (eachCamera['Full IP'])
  isSuccess = getHTTPReq(reqAddress)
  if isSuccess:
    #print("Cam:" + eachCamera['Location'] + " HTTP Request " + "Success")
  else:
    lowername = ("switch.cam:" + eachCamera['Location'].lower())
    regexname = re.sub('[^0-9a-zA-Z]+', '_', lowername)
    failedList.append(regexname)
    #print("Cam:" + eachCamera['Location'] + " HTTP Request " + "Failed")

for fail in failedList:
  #print(fail = "\n")
  entity_idx = str(fail)
  service_data = {"entity_id": entity_idx}
  hass.services.call("switch", "turn_on", service_data)

However, my script fails to run… Failed to call service python_script.http_request. Unknown error
