I am able to extract data from my Domoticz installation running on my NAS, via the http request App. ![35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/7/7d63b5543eb744b0ecba555b9491d482bc83f55c.png) As an example: ![06](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/f/fab0873e0f449c914d2dd38855c3d59ed34f3454.png) Now, I am trying to sent a command from Homey to Domoticz. Goal is to to flip a virtual switch in Domoticz via a flow in Homey 🙂 Via a browser, these command works: [http://IP](http://IP):PORT/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx=XX&switchcmd=On [http://IP](http://IP):PORT/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx=XX&switchcmd=Off where IP:PORT point to the Domoticz installation on my NAS and XX the ID of the Domoticz device. I can’t get it to work in a flow, using the PUT cards. Can this be done? Which card do I use? ---

It doesn’t work wit the domoticz app? 😉 anyways. As far as I know you need to use GET requests instead of PUT. ---

As all info is in the url itself, shouldn’t it just be a “get”? ---

Indeed it’s a get request. ---

Thanks guys! Got it to work. I had 2 ‘issues’… I indeed was using PUT instead of GET, but also the copy / paste did not work correctly. The & in the code caused a problem. After correcting these two, al works fine! @Jeroen_Somhorst Yes, I could use your App. This was just a small test on getting this to work with a dummy switch in Domoticz 🙂 ---
