I’m trying to add tags to items using myopenHAB’s REST API. I keep getting a 504 error with any attempted changes under “PUT” commands but “GET” commands work fine.

Below are some possibilities but it would be good to hear some input or advise:

  • I’m inputting the wrong format (I’ve tried multiple variants but I’m really new to “coding”)

  • I’m not on my local network (logging on to myopenHab trough work computer), do you have to be on the local network for any changes to be made?

Looks like you cant make changes in REST API from myopenHAB. You must port into your device locally.
