HTTP POST Header

[Gast]

Hello,
Does anyone know how we can control the header data of an HTTP POST virtual output command?

Virtual Output - Address field contains; the hostname
Virtual Output Command - Command for ON field contains; /restoftheTargetAPIURI
Virtual Output Command - HTTP Post command for ON contains;
Authorization: Bearer 6fd2c9f940c0f3243c3d1b3d1bb9e76\r
Content-Type: application/json\r
\r
{"mode":"sync", "messageType":"0f8453105c3b9faf7886", "messages":[{"celcius":29.3, "humidity":59.9, "timestamp":"2017-01-15T11:55:37.930Z"}]}

Anyone a better suggestion to be able to determine the header data?
Thanks for your help!

Put your HTTP headers into the "HTTP extensions for ON" field.
Put the HTTP body into the "HTTP Post command for ON" field
Make sure the HTTP method is set correctly - i.e. PUT/POST/GET

Because there are multple headers, separate them with a "\r\n" - i.e instead of a single carriage-return, try using carriage-return followed by line-feed character. And you don't need the CR/LF at the end of the header field. Try doing this:

HTTP extensions for ON:
Authorization: Bearer 6fd2c9f940c0f3243c3d1b3d1bb9e76\r\nContent-Type: application/json

HTTP Post command for ON:
{"mode":"sync", "messageType":"0f8453105c3b9faf7886", "messages":[{"celcius":29.3, "humidity":59.9, "timestamp":"2017-01-15T11:55:37.930Z"}]}

Command for ON:
/restoftheTargetAPIURI

This post has been very helpful for me. Is it possible to include variables in the HTTP Post command? For example:

HTTP Post command for ON:
{"mode": "sync", "messageType": "0f8453105c3b9faf7886", "messages": [{"celcius": X, "humidity": 59.9, "timestamp": "2017-01-15T11: 55: 37.930Z"}]}

wherein X is a value generated by some input function (for example virtual input slider).

Thank you!

Yes, you should be able to.

Where X is indicated, replace with <v>. The analogue value is fed into the Virtual Output and on each value change, the POST command will be sent. Uncheck 'Use as digital output'. Unit should be <v>.

If this doesn't work, you might need to compose the full text string in a Status Block. An example is attached.

This worked perfectly without needing to compose in a Status Block.

I am trying to control rgb lights that are implemented in home assistant from Loxone.
I have already managed to control them with a fixed color.
Now I am trying to do this with variable text using an rgb lighting controller.
If I enter the following at http body for on it does not work. How do I make sure that it correctly retrieves the v1, v2, v3?

HTTP body by on:

{
"entity_id": "light.staanlamp_licht",
"rgb_color": [<v1>, <v2>, <v3>],
"brightness": 255
}

I don't think that you have three inputs on an HTTP virtual output. I recommend to use a status block to combine the three input values, maybe the whole HTTP body and forward that output to the http virtual output by using <v> in the body or the square brackets from your example.

Thanks worked perfectly!
