Let's Control It

Hi,

I use ESP_EASY in combination with Homeseer.
As controller I call HomeSeer_REST_API.aspx with IDX as device number.
This works perfect when I am near the actual light-switches that are build into the wall with an ESP behind it.

But is there a way to simulate that a button is pushed (so force an input to get high/low)?
Why do I need this?
My switches are at several place in my home and my office is at the first floor. So every time I am testing I must run through the house.
Or even worse: When I am not at home and want to change and test something.
I would be so much easier to simulate the change of an input!
Here is my devicelist

Hi,

have a look here: https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... #HTTP_call

May be this will help you.

Going to check it now!

Seems to work!!

I use <<ESP IP>>/control?cmd=event,L2on

My ruleset 1: The log output looks like this:

So the input gets HIGH and with help from the controller my homeseer device is set!

THANKS!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing this - brilliant use of 'Rules' and 'Events'.

I've got a set of IR detectors around the outside of my house that drive WeMos D1 Minis that pass info via MQTT to Node-RED.

I've now implemented your 'hints/suggestion' and can now test my system remotely - yipppeeee.

PS: I'm using an 'mqtt' node to send the event rather than an 'http' node.

Thanks again.
