Need help setting up a rest command

Configuration
1

Ok, need a little help if there is anyone out there that understands rest commands
I have a device that has a web service that can turn it off and on. I was able to use Postman to do this. I would like to now add it as a rest command into HA. So I can setup and On/Off button. I cannot seam to get it to work. This is what I have in my configuration.yaml. I’m sure the issue is at this point the payload but I am unsure how to format it correctly to get it to work. I have tried a number of different ways to format the payload, including JSON and so far nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

rest_command:
  makeup_air_on:
    url: "http://<DEVICE_IP>/php/status.php"
    method: POST
    payload: "makeup=true,filtration=false,iaq=false,whf=false,cooling=false,heating=false,heater=true,manual=false"
    content_type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

This is the setup I have in Postman that works

Just a guess, but try:

payload: "makeup=true&filtration=false&iaq=false&whf=false&cooling=false&heating=false&heater=true&manual=false"

Thank you for the reply, but that did not work. But it was something I had not tried.

OMG, I just noticed I had the wrong stupid URL. So that is fixed but now I’m actually seeing the invalid request message.

What about the following, which tries to be consistent with the examples here:

payload: "{'makeup':'true','filtration':'false','iaq':'false','whf':'false','cooling':'false','heating':'false','heater':'true','manual':'false'}"

I must not have restarted or something because this did turn out to be the solution.

Thanks.
