I was trying to create a web hook for a KASA plug.  I got error 400, see attached screen shot.  When I changed the device to an Insteon switch, it accepted it without a problem, see screen shots.

Is there a restriction about what devices can be used?  Or maybe this is related to the another thread is saw where error 400 was generated when trying to add a spoken?

Thank you.

This is happening because the device type is not recognized. If you try to use /rest/nodes/<your device address>, the type is probably 0.0.0.0. This is typical of early nodeservers.

To fix this, use Select Tool | Connectivity | Device Hint Editor.

I'm not sure what this device can do, but if it can be set to a value of 0 to 100, I would suggest to try 4.17.x.x, which is the equivalent of a dimmable ZWave dimmer. If this is only fully on/off, you can also use 2.x.x.x, which is the equivalent of an insteon non-dimmable switch.

Thank you, that did the trick!
