maybe not the best solution but you can for exemple create a virtual switch and rules.

in the rule you say, if on then http get/post and if off then get/post.

Doing so you can control the device. What do you want to send as action exactly ?

Hi, here in an example for a SONOS system play trigger.

Sharing as this took me a while to find out. I have an IR device that controls equipment just by putting the following into a browser http://192.168.X.XXX/send.htm?remote=velux&command=closeblindsall

I got it working by simply setting up a Configure HTTP Request, choosing GET and then copied the above in the URL. It took me a while to find out as I tried everything and learned that when putting some parts in header, or using the Post or Put options - it shut off the IR device for a while thus explaining why it worked sometimes but not always. I know now, so have no problems anymore.
