Cosworth32, well , it's not working , i'm trying to do this using veralite , also tried in browser and it didn't work , oit should be like this

HCL IP /api/settings/reboot right ?

Yeah but entering this in a browser creates a GET request and not a POST - Makes all the difference.

I tested it before posting and it works just fine.

In Fiddler the POST request looks like the attached screenshot (and works) Just add your own authentication and IP.

Once you believe it can be done the rest is just tinkering in whatever system you are calling from.

Cosworth32, Thanks but i couldn't get it to work , what are you using in the screenshot ?

[Cosworth32 0]

Sorry to hear that. Not sure what else to tell you.

The screenshot is from the fiddler program I mentioned in the previous post.

Cosworth32, my problem is that i have to do this inside vera , so i'm using this to run the command via LUA code inside the scene editor

don't know how to make a POST command

Well as I just bought my own Vera I figured why not use this as an excuse for my first luup scene.

It turns out that doing POST from vera is a little tricky if you want to control the headers.

Eventually this line did the trick:

os.execute("curl -d ''

/api/settings/reboot")

Executed using Vera light running UI5, firmware 1.5.622
