external access to a program via the portal

[bgrubb1]

I have a program the closes the garage doors via the ISY and Zwave garage controllers

Trying to figure out how to give the wife a way to click on a iPhone url to close the garage doors if she forgets

My ISY994 is connected via the ISY Portal and direct via port forwarding in my router

I can send the rest url from my local lan, but it doesnt work via safari on the phone

If I give the url with no credentials, it asked for login info, but doesnt execute the program

If I give the url credentials, no response at all

Is there a way to send a rest command url via the portal ??

Hi bgrubb1,

 

Yes, in the portal:

1. Click on Select Tool for your ISY

2. Choose ISY Information

3. Copy the "URL to ISY" ... this is the URL to your ISY, so all the REST commands should be appended to this URL

 

Please note that your credentials are portal credentials and not ISY's.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Is there a way to pass the credentials as part of the url ??   I tried putting them after the https://  - no go

Thank You in advance

UPDATE

I managed to pass the credentials and execute a program via the portal, but only using Chrome on a PC

Doesn't execute using Edge browser on a PC

Doesn't execute on an iPhone using Safari or Chrome

Safari basically comes back with "About" and Chrome on iPhone asks for credentials

Is this expected behavior ??

You can pass credentials in the url, but its a function of the browser to do it correctly. It works fine from the Maker IFTTT, but you have to url-encode the username (die to the @), and also possibly the password (if URL illegal characters are used).

Is there a way to tell an iPhone browser to encrypt ?

I don't think so... But I'm an Android user.
