Hi all,
New user to Home Assistant and HADashboard and absolutely loving it so far. I am a little bit stuck at the moment and im sure there is a simple fix i just cant seem to find it.
Ive created a HTTP request in Home Assistant using the rest command to control my blinds… up, down, favorite position etc. Ive got this working in the services tab in which i select the rest_command domain and then the service i want and it works perfectly when called however, when i try to get this working as a switch or button in the Home Assistant front end using the RESTful component when i reload Home Assistant the HTTP command runs automatically and doesn’t actually work when i hit the button.
Am i doing something wrong… is there something i need to do to stop it running automatically and only when i hit the button? I want to get this working so that i can create an entity and then input it into HADashboard.
My config file looks as per the component template
switch:
- platform: rest
name: Blinds Up
resource: http://IP_ADDRESS/ENDPOINT
Your help is much appreciated
