Can anyone help? I want to make a http call to a speaker from within a flow.

Here is what I type into my browser:

[https://192.168.1.237/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:vol:50](https://192.168.1.237/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:vol:50)

When I include this into a Logic card in a flow, it stops with an error. Can anyone help with the syntax?

Thanks in advance.

Probably it’s a self signed certificate error. Maybe try this app?

Also, which device are you trying to control?

Edit: just checked, didn’t work on self signed certificate

I don’t know how you would fix this, other than building an app

Does it only work with `https://`, and not `http://`?

No, it works with http as well. Might there be a way of doing this?

Replace the “https” with “http” at the start of the URL
