MarkJames Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 So I've ported my old ISY to a new eISY and I can remote operate that through the app so that's all good. I've taken my old ISY994 and installed it at a summer cottage. I'd like to control it - only locally - through a browser (Chrome) via the REST interface. I created a bunch of bookmarks that turn devices on and off and that all works great. The only thing is that every time I make a REST call I get back an XML response. I don't want that response back. For myself it doesn't matter but for WAF it does. Is there a straightforward way to do this? I've done it in the past by using HTTP Gets on a Java based web page that I wrote for that purpose but I'm currently hosting my home web page where I don't have Java server support. Thanks! 1 Link to comment
Goose66 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 You don't need Java server. Write a local HTML page with buttons hooked to javacript functions to make the REST calls. The javascript can ignore the reply from the REST calls. Add one bookmark to the local HTML page and just use the buttons on it to control the devices. Link to comment
MarkJames Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Thanks - I'll give that a try this eve and see if I can get it working 1 Link to comment
MarkJames Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Hi So I finally got around to trying this. I'm in a new home now so the 20 years of tweaking I've done at my last home are a memory I've got a much smaller place now so I put my 994i in here - the eISY is at the old place. I figured I would just use the built in web server on the ISY to make the calls but for the life of me I can't remember the format of the get or post/put command to send a REST interface call. Could I impose on you (or another kind reader) to remind me? Thanks Link to comment
Geddy Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Maybe the SDK found here can help. Otherwise, check the wiki (do a search for rest). Link to comment

MarkJames Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Well - I've gone through all the SDKs and documentation but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Many moons ago I had written a custom web page that sent HTTP Get requests directly to the ISY to turn things on and off. I fashioned it after some code that I found here (which I can't find now). I remember I shared it with MWareman way back then too That code, unfortunately, was on my QNAP which got hit by Qlocker a year or two ago and was lost. I gave up programming long ago so what I always have to do is find some working code, study it till I figure out how it works and then integrate it into something that I understand. Without a starting point these days I'm hopelessly lost. Sooooo.... if anyone can show me a snippet of Java code that will make the rest calls for me I would be deeply appreciative. Once I see the format I can take it from there. TIA 1 Link to comment

Once they are archived they don’t show up in the forum search results. Just type this in ther search bar (adding your search term to the end): site: https://forum.universal-devices.com Might find old posts about it if they were public. Link to comment
