Extension: URL
This extension allows you to treat a URL as an on/off device in Indigo by allowing you to:
- Use a URL for an ON command
- Use a URL for an OFF command
- Use a URL for a TOGGLE command
- Force off a device if the ability to auto detect it's on state isn't possible
Introduced In: Version 1.x
If you need help with Device Extensions you should use the Device Extensions forum on the Indio site rather than using the issues system here since many users of this plugin don't have Git accounts or are unsure how to manage issues via Git.
- Turn on URL: The URL to execute when an On command is received
- Turn off URL: The URL to execute when an Off command is received
- Toggle URL: The URL to execute when a Toggle command is received. If this is left blank then the plugin will internally just execute whatever command is the opposite of the current device state (i.e., if it is currently in an On state it will send an Off command). Because these commands are sent in the blind with no feedback from the receiver, a toggle command might perform the opposite action than what you expect - if this happens there is an action to force it to an off state (without sending an Off command) so you can reset it
- Command URL: You can use this as the base URL if you want to pass options as the Turn on/Turn off URL. For example you could put "http://10.0.1.50/eng/admin/adv_audiovideo.cgi" in the command URL field and the On query might be "irMode=3", this effectively sends "http://10.0.1.50/eng/admin/adv_audiovideo.cgi?irMode=3" as the URL. This just saves you from having to type each full URL out if you don't want to.
- User Name/Password: If your device requires HTTPS authentication you can use these to fields to do that, otherwise if it requires plain text authentication you can simply add it into your url(s) as needed
