Send Commands through Siri Shortcuts

[e36Alex (Alexander)]

Hello,

i would like to send commands to an item with siri shortcuts.

I already configured this shortcut, but it doesnt work - would be great if you could help me to get it running.
The URL i used to call myopenhab is: https://email:password@www.myopenhab.org/rest/items/Anwesenheit_FG
(I even tried to replace the . in the email adress with %40 - but it has no effect)

Thanks for your help!
Alex

Sending commands to REST API via Siri Shortcuts whilst outside of LAN

I was able to successfully send a command to the REST API using Siri Shortcuts whilst outside my LAN. I knew it was possible to do it from within the LAN but it’s taken hours to figure out how to do it from outside the LAN (Google was very much my friend here). In short, the key was to encode the credentials using Base64 and to not escape the @ symbol in the username. Only figured it out when I compared the output of a cURL to what I was generating using the Shortcuts app. Below is a step-by-…

Where @Lukie figured out how to do it.
