Hi,

I’d like to be turn off / turn on devices in homey using curl from a linux box.  
Can someone point me in the right direction?  
Thank you.

Take a look at the logic When-flow card for webhooks. There’s also a short description there how it works.

It works when you execute  
`curl url`

When you only use or want to use local webhooks, use this:  
`curl http://my_homey_ip/webhook?event=my_event&tag=my_tag`  
(Otherwise follow the hint by CaptainVoni (hover the (i) at the trigger card below))

This flow triggers:

.

As a ‘device\_y on’ and ’ device\_y off’ example:  
On:  
`curl http://my_homey_ip/webhook?event=device_y&tag=turn_on`  
Off:  
`curl http://my_homey_ip/webhook?event=device_y&tag=turn_off`  
But this will turn it off as well, while the tag doesn’t match ’ turn\_on’…:  
`curl http://my_homey_ip/webhook?event=device_y`

Flow:
