Requesting help with Item state via HTTP + HTTP Controls

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
#1

Hi All,

Done lots of reading and still can’t come right…
I am using a 2 Way LightSwitch, so it is NB for me to determine status of the input of the IO device.

I use the following URL to determine item state:
http://IP:port/sinput0.html
This would give ON or OFF inside a webpage.

Then I can use
http://IP:Port/index.html?O1=1
Which would turn the device on
http://IP:Port/index.html?O1=0
Would turn the device off.

How do I query the state of the item upon startup?
How do I make a decision to turn ON or OFF based on the input status of the IO?
Thanking you very much for your assistance!

Have you read the documentation for the HTTP binding? I believe it can answer your questions. :slightly_smiling:

#3

I have tried and received no success. I am not a programmer but trying my best to pick things up…
I am able to toggle the output but am not able to read the input state and make a decision based on that…

Are there any examples for something like this?

#4

There are many examples on the HTTP binding wiki page, but I’m not sure if or how your objective is different from what is given there.

#5

I am also looking at the HTTP Binding for control reading/writing to a device

I am using

Switch IPpower
{ http=">[ON:POST:http://admin:12345678@10.0.0.116/Set.cmd?cmd=setpower+p61=1] >[OFF:POST:http://admin:12345678@10.0.0.116/Set.cmd?cmd=setpower+p61=0]" }

if i use the url and Set.cmd as above in a browser, it works as expected . yet the version above does not, obviously something is wrong
