Switch on/off via API

[s8109csa 1]

Hi!

 

I connected my Fibaro HC2 to Homeassistant.

There is one device - an Everpring EH403 Z-Wave flood light with motion detector - where one function was not transferred.

This function is the flood light on/off manually which could be managed well by adding a Virtual Device in HC2 and create 2 buttons with fibaro:call functions in LUA, no big deal.

 

Now I'm also able to switch it on and off via http commands, like this: 

Please login or register to see this code.

This works well if I copy this link to Chrome for example.

 

But how can I use this with curl? Can somebody help me please? And please don't direct me to API documentation...I don't understand in and I didn't find an example with my problem which can help me understand the syntax.

Thanks

I think you've an issue with credentials... via Chrome you get a popup for user and password and after that it works always.

please try

http://<user>:<password>@192.168.0.68/api/callAction?deviceID=25&name=turnOn

Hope you don't need to encode special characters. (

Hi @cag014!

 

As I wrote in my post, I am able to operate the device with http commands but it is not what I want since in Home Assistant, URL opens a webpage with the link.

I want to use "curl" command to operate the device. Luckily I was able to find the solution which I hope will help others too:

So I needed to create a special switch, a Command Line type switch in Configuration.YAML like this:
