I prepared the following code with the result.

 

 self.http:request("http://192.168.8.138:80/fcgi/do?id=130&id=12&RefRand=41007230", { 

        options = { 

        method = 'POST', 

        headers = {

            ["Accept"] = "*/*",

            ["Accept-Encoding"] = "gzip, deflate",

            ["Accept-Language"] = "en-us",

            ["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",

            ["Connection"] = "keep-alive",          

        }, 

        data = "SubmitData=begin&Operation=Submit&cInputEnable=1&SubmitData=end"

    },

I can't make "&" character as a normal character. Any idea how I can make the string "SubmitData=begin&Operation=Submit&cInputEnable=1&SubmitData=end" as without special characters?

Yes, use url encoding. Use a website and hardcode the encoded url in:

Or use this function:

 Could you get the Akuvox to work with the HC3. Appreciate it if you could update.

 

Thanks

Hi, urlencoder helped however I have to create other HTTP messages to change the parameter I want becuase Akuvox doesn't have API for it.

If I understood it well, you will try to emulate the sending of the page with the settings for the inputs via HC3. It is not a completely standard way for integration. The API does not contain these orders.
String you have made a help of Wireshark. However, it certainly escaped that this string was authenticated (you have applied to the web interface of the Akuvox and only then you chose from the input setting menu, which you captured then).

Akuvox imposes integration via "http get" in the command. It is the end of the end associated with the opening of the door/ switch on the outputs, etc.

That's why I ask ... What is the reason to try to configure inputs? Condition to perform some form of bypass input on the Akuvox with respect to the state of securing zones HC3?

I would like to deactivate the input for the night as I have a button to open the gate outside of my house.

Ah,.. I understand that.
So, either you will solve the authentication issue from HC3 to Akuvox and you will send POST strings.
Or I have another tip.
Akuvox panels have several relays for controlling different devices (depending on the type of panel). You can control these individual relays with the help of the official API and even with the GET method, and I have a feeling that even without authentication,... or the name and password can be transferred in a chain.
So connect the crude relay in series with your input button.
From HC3, you can then send a standard command according to the documented API to flip the relay and disconnect the input button circuit.
In addition, if you use an internal LCD video panel, you can define your own functions directly on those panels.
You have a question. How high is the fence with the gate so that someone could not easily climb over it?
