HA Newbie & Rest Commands

Configuration

Hi :wave:t5:

I’m new to Home Assistant and have happily gone down the rabbit hole.

I’m currently trying to create my dashboard and I would like an automation that runs nightly and it sends a commend to open a form that I can fill in (ideally hosted on typeform, but flexible on where it’s hosted).

Once I’ve figured that out, I’ll create an automation to display the answers the next morning on a device.

But I’m stuck on the first part.

How would I use a rest command to

  1. have the a button on my dashboard that when pushed it displays the from always
  2. run an automation nightly to send a comment to my phone to display the form

Fingers crossed this is possible and I’m just doing something wrong!

Not sure what you want to achieve here. What do you mean by display a form?
Do you want to retrieve or post data from/to a REST endpoint?
Or do you want to have a form in the UI?

Those UI stunts are mostly out-of-scope of Home Assistant, but you might have a look at

That’s typically not the HA project you should starts with, though.
Lots of basics to learn first.
