Hi Doc! It is pretty much a straightforward HTTP POST with authentication, I don't know how your system sends requests: the format for the headers, etc. But I believe the Shortcuts tutorial contains all the info you should need to send these requests to the BLI from any system.

We will probably write some page explaining this in detail further on!

Hello Khimo Support,

thanks for your reply and I am looking forward to your further explanation. I think that all the bits and pieces are there, but I have no clue how to combine them into one HTTP-request…

My home automation system is able to send and receive WebHooks.

General format:

URL:                      (IP)

Method:              GET; PUT; POST; DELETE

Content Type:    application/json; application/x-www-form-urlencoded; text/plain; application/xml

Body:                    (code)

Here are some examples:

Xiaomi Yeelight Candela BLE Lights

URL :                     http://(IP)/api/manager/logic/webhook/toggle

Method:              GET

Content Type:   (optional)

Body:                    (optional)

NUKI Smart Lock

URL:                      http://(IP):8080/lockAction?nukiId=(ID)&deviceType=2&action=3&token=(token)

Method:             GET

Content Type:   (optional)

Body:                    (optional)

LametricTime

URL:                      http://dev:(secret)@(IP):8080/api/v2/device/notifications

Method:              POST

Content Type:   application/json

Body:                    {

                                "priority": "warning",

                                  "model": {

                                    "cycles": 1,

                                     "frames": [

                                      {

                                           "icon": "9832",

                                          "text": "HELLO!"

           }

        ],

        "sound": {

            "category": "notifications",

            "id": "cat"

        }

    }

}

Do you have any hint for me how the HTTP-request should look like and where to put the authentication information?

Thanks!

Best regards

Hi,

you can "connect" the BLI with a BeoVision Avant 55", so that you are able to control the TV via apps like "BeoLink 2" or "BeoLiving" - if this was the question.

But I think that "integration" is a B&O technical term for displaying (and accessing) the available ressources of the integrated system (e.g. BeoSound Core) on the integration system (e.g. BeoVision Avant 55").

But that might be bean counting... ;-)

Hello Khimo Team,

I was looking for a solution for my "problem" to integrate my BLI gateway with my home automation system. I hoped for an "easy" way to trigger an action via a "simple" HTTP-request like:

    http://user:password@bli.local/a/exe/Downstairs/Livingroom/BUTTON/TV/PRESS

But unfortunately life is not that easy... ;-( 

On the one hand my home automation system cannot handle HTTP-requests with authentication (maybe I should raise a feature request) and on the other hand, the BLI does not accept HTTP-requests with embedded authentication credentials (maybe worth a feature request).

So I went down another route - Node Red (which can handle straight forward HTTP-requests with authentication). I created a "virtual device" (simple ON / OFF plug) in my home automation system and assigned corresponding HTTP-requests to the actions. Works, but this is not my preferred option.

It would be great, if it would be possible to trigger actions via a HTTP request like this:

    http://user:password@bli.local/a/exe/Downstairs/Livingroom/BUTTON/TV/PRESS

Thanks and looking forward

Hi DocLeisure,

Can your system define custom Headers for your POST request? This would enable you to sent requests. Without this it is not possible at the moment.

Best of luck and keep us posted!

Hello Khimo Support,

unfortunately not! There is a pending feature request "Webhook with Custom Header", but it’s not implemented yet (and questionable if it ever will...).

That’s why I am counting on you Khimo Team ;-)

Maybe you could describe in detail, what you would expect (content, format) in the custom header, so that I could be more precise in the feature request.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards
