oh2bnMaine Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Is it possible for me to use the rest command with a non-admin user id? I want to start issuing REST commands via webhooks in IFTTT and would prefer to NOT use the admin user id.
mwester Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Alas, no -- the ISY does not at present support the use of anything other than the primary admin account.
oh2bnMaine Posted December 31, 2019 Author Posted December 31, 2019 Ok. Thanks. I will stop trying then. This is unfortunate. I have been experiencing inconsistent results using IFTTT webhooks to get a REST command to succeed when using HTTPS. I have 6 set up. Three check if a cell phone is on the network. Three check when it is off the network. The resulting webhook REST commands tell my ISY whether each phone is online or offline. These represent when different people are home or away. Depending on who is away, the ISY will do different things related to the security protocols. Anyway, sometimes, the HTTPS webhook fails while the HTTP webhook always succeeds. I don't like using the admin ID to do a REST command without HTTPS. ?

MWareman Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Before the ISY Portal existed, I used an Apache server and the proxy module to allow token based authentication to the REST API without having to reveal the admin password to third parties. I wrote it up here: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Apache_Reverse_ProxyThe ISY Portal is now better alternative. Certainly, less complex to get going... 1
