Hi,

Does anyone know if this is even possible?

If I have webserver on my LAN that receives changing information daily; how can I use JSON GET to read it and what is the correct format to use in Homey to $. it to a Better Logic variable without using athom’s cloud servers.

@erik, @Rocodamelshekima  
I think this question is exactly why a publish of the pm answer to the http request app is important.
