Hey,

Why can’t I retrieve any data at the Presence endpoint (→ [ManagerPresence - Homey Web API](https://athombv.github.io/node-homey-api/HomeyAPIV3Local.ManagerPresence.html#getState))? Everything else works fine.

Maybe you should share or point to the code you use for it?  
Otherwise I’m afraid you won’t get any sensible reply 😉

</div>

this work:

```auto
	$curl = curl_init();

	curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
	  CURLOPT_URL => $remote_url . '/api/manager/devices/device',
	  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
	  CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
	  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
	  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
	  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
	  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
	  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
	  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Authorization: Bearer ' . $homey_api_data['api_key'], 'accept: application/json'),
	));

	$response = curl_exec($curl);

	curl_close($curl);

	print_r(json_decode($response, true));

```

and this, for presence not:

```auto
	$curl = curl_init();

	curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
	  CURLOPT_URL => $remote_url . '/api/manager/presence/state',
	  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
	  CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
	  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
	  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
	  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
	  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
	  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
	  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Authorization: Bearer ' . $homey_api_data['api_key'], 'accept: application/json'),
	));

	$response = curl_exec($curl);

	curl_close($curl);

	print_r(json_decode($response, true));

```

only the URL is an other one
