Turn on Light from string VD

[sarf77 11]

I have a VD Im using to populate variables for status. One of them works as below. 

 

PUT /api/globalVariables/entrySensor HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1
Authorization: Basic c2VhbkBzbWFydGVyZWxlYkhglhgjhbjhbkjhjhbkjhbkjbvkjhv. (not actual code) 
 
{"name":"entrySensor","value":"Override"}

 

 

 

I want to use the same methodology to add a simple on and off button to this VD to control a dimmer or relay. 

 

How would I go about this? Ive read through the HC2/docs , fibaro developers and this forum but just cant get it to work . 

 

I go ok with LUA but this stuff kills me. 

 

Thanks.
