ferdies Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hi, This is my first attempt on Tasker and it seemed I could not get it right. http://login:password@192.168.xx.xx/rest/nodes/40070/cmd/DON/ Any expert opinion on this? Thanks. Link to comment
ISYhbsh01 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The "/rest/nodes/..." part has to go in the Path field. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk Link to comment

I tried this and it is still not working: Server:Port http://username:password@192.168.xx.xx Path /rest/nodes/40070/cmd/DON/ Am I still missing something? BTW, this rest command works on a browser.

arw01 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Does that work from the browser on my desktop, I seem to think you have the format wrong off the top of my head but at the wrong computer to check it. You had to have username AND password in there. Alan Link to comment

This works from a browser on your phone or only on your computer? Is this phone connected to your local network via WiFi? Otherwise 192.168.xx.xx would not be the correct IP address. Also is "40070" just to disguise your actual device address? It doesn't seem like a correct address normally used. Link to comment
ferdies Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yes, the rest command works on a browser of my tablet connected via WIFI. While I am learning tasker, I am not using fqdn so this is within my local network only. I tested the command on a PC browser, without any issue as well. To further isolate the problem, I tried doing a curl command on my linux machine and it just worked. curl -s -u username:password http://192.168.xx.xx/rest/nodes/40070/cmd/DON/ Thanks.

ISYhbsh01 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I just noticed now that you are using the HTTP POST action. You need to use HTTP GET. Link to comment
ferdies Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I just noticed now that you are using the HTTP POST action. You need to use HTTP GET. You're right! Thanks for spotting that. BTW - rest command could be also in the same line as the URL. No need to use the "path" option. So if I am not using WIFI and using my Cell network and I dont have an SSL certificate - I understand this is a bit unsecure, below is the command I used but I again, error occurred. Is there an option to ignore SSL? HPTT Get: Server:Port https://username:password@test.dyndns.biz:2000/rest/nodes/40070/cmd/DON/ Link to comment
ISYhbsh01 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Unfortunately not. You will need a certificate from a certificate authority. I got one for free from cacert.org. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk EDIT: The above statement is no longer correct. With the latest version of Tasker you do not need a certificate from a certificate authority anymore. See the next 2 posts. Link to comment
MaddBomber83 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm interested in this topic. On your question for SSL, do the following: Make sure your 443 (or whatever) port is forwarded to your ISY. On Tasker Action > Net > HTTP GET do the following: Server:Port = https://USER:PASS@DDNS:PORT Path = /rest/status/node At the bottom check Trust Any Certificate. This should enable you to do your web based connection. Be sure to test the above in your browser first. This is an example of two of my programs: Here we update the status of a fan including a query. 1401224323450 1401419118168 14 Master Fan Status 10 1 118 false http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT /rest/query/21 6A 24 2 118 false http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT /rest/status/21 6A 24 2 547 %masterfan_httpd %HTTPD 590 %masterfan_httpd formatted=" 590 %masterfan_httpd2 " 547 %MasterFan %masterfan_httpd21 547 %MasterFan Error %masterfan_httpd21 10 *\s* Next we have a task that changes the Widget to a yellow button while running. It then gets the status of the fan and cycles through Off, High, Med, Low. Last it verifies the state of the fan and changes the widget to be a Black, Red, Silver, Green fan symbol. 1401228917726 1401419519570 15 Master Fan 10 1 549 %MasterFan 152 Master Fan nn_standby net.dinglisch.android.ipack.ilikebuttonshd 130 Master Fan Status %priority+1 35 %MasterFan 8 152 Master Fan tape_reel2 net.dinglisch.android.ipack.transparentglasshd %MasterFan 0 Off 152 Master Fan tape_reel2 net.dinglisch.android.ipack.redgoldpainthd %MasterFan 0 High 152 Master Fan tape_reel2 net.dinglisch.android.ipack.glossysilverhd %MasterFan 0 Med 152 Master Fan tape_reel2 net.dinglisch.android.ipack.greenfloralhd %MasterFan 0 Low 152 Master Fan cust_warning %MasterFan 0 Error 130 Master Fan Status %priority+1 35 %MasterFan 8 118 false http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT /rest/nodes/21 6A 24 2/cmd/DON/255 %MasterFan 0 Off 118 false http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT /rest/nodes/21 6A 24 2/cmd/DON/191 %MasterFan 0 High 118 false http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT /rest/nodes/21 6A 24 2/cmd/DON/63 %MasterFan 0 Med 118 false http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT /rest/nodes/21 6A 24 2/cmd/DOF %MasterFan 0 Low 549 %MasterFan 30 hl_zzz_tasker Link to comment
ISYhbsh01 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 At the bottom check Trust Any Certificate. Wow this is something new and I didn't know about it. I just updated Tasker on my phone & this option is now available there. So I take back what I said before. You do NOT need a certificate from a certificate authority. You can use a self signed certificate. Just check off the "Trust any Certificate" box in Tasker. Link to comment
MWareman Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You should be aware that trusting any certificate gives you a false sense of security. It leaves you just as potentiality vulnerable as if you have no certificate at all. Any intermediate provider can intercept your connection and recover you credentials without you knowing. Michael.

ferdies Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thank you, maddbomber83! I got it to work with your help. As I cannot decipher your xml program, did you store the result of ISY /rest/status into a task variable? I would like to use the variable to determine the next steps of my tasks program. Thanks.

MaddBomber83 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Correct. You would use the XML split function in tasker. There is also another post that just got a bunch of new posts where the OP has some really nice programs already made and ready for import into tasker that accomplishes the above with some more robustness.
