> [@Martijn\_Hoogenbosch](#): > > Can’t it be the formatting? I’m seeing / signs in the YARC code? (assuming you mean `\`) Those are escape characters because the entire string is already surrounded by double quotes. FWIW, in your initial post it looks like you might have changed the name of the device to `iphonevnMartjin` ---

Razer sharp! nice catch. unfortunately this was merely a typo in the first post. I’m done with this. Don’t think it can be done. Don’t understand why YARC does work and CURL / Homey doesn’t Even doing it plain text i’m still getting ‘forbidden’… Going with normal browser to [http://192.168.20.69/control/clients/delete](http://192.168.20.69/control/clients/delete) i’m getting a forbidden too. ---

I can’t seem to let it go. Apparently CURL is now a default package on Windows 10 and 11 too. Didn’t know that. When I send the command: curl --verbose --http1.1 -H “Content-Type:application/json” -d @json-add.txt [https://user:pass@adguard.hoogenbosch.cloud/control/clients/add](https://user:pass@adguard.hoogenbosch.cloud/control/clients/add) with ```auto { "name": "iphonevnMartijn", "ids": ["192.168.20.125"], "tags": ["user_child"], "upstreams": [], "filtering_enabled": true, "parental_enabled": false, "safebrowsing_enabled": false, "safesearch_enabled": false, "use_global_blocked_services": false, "use_global_settings": false, "blocked_services": ["tiktok", "amazon", "dailymotion", "discord", "disneyplus", "ebay"] } ``` in the .txt file, it works from my laptop device. From Homey it says, unexpected end of JSON file > > EHHHHHH … even though it presents this error… it does the job… it deletes and adds… ---
