How to press a button via http post (webhook)

OrTiN

Hi all,
I like to press a button via a http post request from tasker (Android app) on my phone. I am not able to figure out how to do that.

I have already realized a http patch like following for something else.
URL:
http://$user:$pwd@$addr/api/variables/$variable

BODY
{ "type": "value", "valueOrExpression": "$somevalue" }

For a button I know:
URL:
http://$user:$pwd@$addr/api/devices/$deviceID

But what about the BODY?

I´m not shure if i understand you right…
http://User:Pass@IP:Port/api/device/reboot/buttonPressed?buttonId=Reboot
In my case a “Reboot”-Button

No, you missunderstood. I mean at the end the syntax for a curl post via command line or webhook like IFTTT it is using.

Further example for a curl patch for a variable:

curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -u "$user:$pwd" -d '{"type": "value", "valueOrExpression": "$somevalue"}' http://$addr/api/variables/$variable

In Tasker a simple HTTP GET do the job. I thought it is more complicated … It works now as I need.
