Hi everyone


Can anybody give me an example on how to use API to turn a switch ON/OFF?


I'm using Micro Module Switch Double

I want to control it from an external application using HTTP requests

and I don't want to use virtual switches


Thank you,

Well, im not sure how this can be done without using virtual devices. Virtual switch would not help anyway, you would need to use vitrual sensor as that has a direct http link where you only need to insert the status 1 or 0 manually at the end.

It's not an easy find.


After you navigate to STATE, press Settings button, and in URL field you will find complete link with ep and apiKey filled in.

Now I get it. It has to be a viritual switch. I tried with a z-wave switch. Now i created a viritual switch and it works.Thank you.
