HTTP Request Webhook (via Unifi)

[talkatoo 1]

I want to run this webhook via Unifi to connect the G4 Doorbell Pro fingerprint sensor and open the front gate. But right now, nothing happens.
I have a scene (68) which opens the gate.

Webhook url:

This link opens the gate, but opens a username/password prompt, after filling in the username/password the gate opens (the scene runs). 
I tried filling in some headers in the Unifi UI and setting the method to 'POST' (see screenshot below).

Also tried this webhook url:

But it still shows the username/password window in the browser (and does not work in Unfi).

@talkatoo did you manage to get this thing working?

Got It !

 

Only http . https is complaining, looking into it now but for test and internally http is fine .

You need to encode your userid/password to Base64.

Go to:

Type your user:password in the upper field and press Encode.

Now use that string in the Header 2 after Basic .

To execute a scene, you need to perform a GET.

Has anyone been able to get this working with HTTPS?

Yes! Finally, here is the trick.

 

Caution, you need to have basic Linux experience and know how to modify files and copy files into the Unifi Protect appliance.

First enable HTTPS only on your fibaro and write-down your exact Serial of the fibaro device (in capitals) in my example HC3-00202022 .

Download the certificate by pressing the button below the HTTP/HTTPS option and rename it to cacert.pem.

 

Now you need to create a CNAME dns record for this pointing to the IP of your fibaro device in your network with the exact Serial as that is registered as hostname inside the certificate.

Assuming you have Unifi as a network manage device you can simply add this DNS record and point it to the IP adres.

 

So in my case I created this DNS record pointing to 192.166.100.10

nslookup HC3-00202022 -> 192.166.100.10

 

Now we need to open up SSH access to the Unifi Protect appliance. In my case UCG-MAX device.

When SSH is opened up,  connect as root with the password you have set on opening up the SSH service and modify the following file (I use vi as editor):

 

vi /usr/share/unifi-protect/app/default

Add the following line at the bottom:

NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/cacert.pem

 

And copy the earlier downloaded cacert.pem file to the Unifi Protect appliance to the following location: /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/cacert.pem

(example: scp cacert.pem [email protected]:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/cacert.pem

 

Now restart the Unifi Protect or the complete appliance.

 

When it’s started again configure the web hook by using the https and instead of the IP adres use your newly created DNS name example:

Method GET

Authentication None

Header 1

Accept        application/json

 

Header 2

Authorization      Basic: <string>
