Dear all, I have had my Homey Pro for 24 hours - but despite many googleings I cannot find an answer. I wish to send a command from homey - this is Volumio command. curl 192.168.1.127/api/v1/commands/?cmd=play I wish to have this in a flow like; when X happens then send the above commando I guess there is a simple way to do it but I cannot figure. Many thanks in advance. Henrik ---

Thanks. I found that. But still cannot figure out how use it. It states: Method: I guess post URL: I guess the curl commando - but does not seem to work. Tags Breadtext: Delay: Please guide me! /Henrik ---

- `curl` defaults to `GET`, so use that for method - URL is just that, the URL: `http://192.168.1.127/api/v1/commands/?cmd=play` - Breadtext: leave empty - Delay: don’t set ---

Hi again, Do you by any chance know how to change volume? Documentation says: volumio.local/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=80 And others have had issues and qoutes should be used: curl ‘localhost:3000/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=20’ I have tried - none works in homey: ‘[http://192.168.1.127/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=20’](http://192.168.1.127/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=20%E2%80%99) and http://‘192.168.1.127/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=20’ From my computer this works: curl ‘192.168.1.127/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=20’ Thanks in advance Henrik ---

The quotes are required for shell commands, but the Homey flow card just needs a URL: ```auto http://192.168.1.127/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=20 ``` No quotes required. ---

Add a space (just a single space) to the “Headers” field, apparently it’s not allowed to leave it empty. ---

Not the cleanest solution and probably not suited for you, but I have openwrt running on my router. Via the custom command option I trigger a shell scripts for more complex (curl) commands. That custom command can be called via a GET command in Homey. ---

Thanks! I executed a curl request via php. Php called a get request.
