So I was able to successfully post to Home Assistant using IFTTT maker.io using key generated by maker.io in IFTTT.
ifttt:
key: key_from_IFTTT
I am able to succesfully send POST commands from IFTTT using http://xxxxxxxxx:8123/api/services/switch/turn_on?api_password=key_from_IFTTT
Then I secured my Home Assistant by HTTP password using
http:
api_password: http_pwd
Now I am unable to send http://xxxxxxxxx:8123/api/services/switch/turn_on?api_password=key_from_IFTTT
I get a reply as “401: Unauthorized”. I am guessing HTTP password is interfering with this? Any solutions or workarounds is greatly appreciated.
