Thanks. That worked. It now shows correctly. If I used the template editor, I am able to get the correct information. However, the switch is not showing up. To simplify things, I am now trying to get the cookie directly in the switch rather than storing it in my secrets.yaml and then trying to get it in the switch. Once that is working, I will move it over to my secrets. Is the cookie line below correct?
- platform: rest
name: Reef Light
resource: http://myip:port/api/equipment/1
username: !secret reef_username
password: !secret reef_password
body_on: '{"id":"1","name":"Light","outlet":"1","on":true}'
body_off: '{"id":"1","name":"Light","outlet":"1","on":false}'
is_on_template: '{{ value_json.on }}'
headers:
Connection: keep-alive
content-type: application/json
Referer: http://myip:port
Cookie: states('sensor.reef_cookie')
I have also tried
Cookie: "{{ states('sensor.reef_cookie') }}"
