Start Script from Tasker with Http Post

Configuration
1

Hi,
HA-newbie question coming:

I made 3 little scripts with the following code within scripts.yaml:

radio_fritz:
  alias: "Radio Fritz"
  sequence:
  - data_template:
      entity_id: media_player.kuche
      media_content_id: http://dg-rbb-http-fra-dtag-cdn.cast.addradio.de/rbb/fritz/live/mp3/128/stream.mp3?ar-distributor=f0a1
      media_content_type: audio/mp3
    service: media_player.play_media
radio_gold:
  alias: "Radio Gold"
  sequence:
  - data_template:
      entity_id: media_player.kuche
      media_content_id: http://dg-ais-eco-http-fra-eco-cdn.cast.addradio.de/ps-radiob2gold/livestream.mp3
      media_content_type: audio/mp3
    service: media_player.play_media
radio_stopp:
  alias: "Radio Stop"
  sequence:
  - entity_id: media_player.kuche
    service: media_player.media_stop
  - entity_id: media_player.bad
    service: media_player.media_stop
  - entity_id: media_player.alle_lautsprecher
    service: media_player.media_stop

I can start these scripts via the UI without problems.
I want to trigger these scripts via Android Tasker app using Http Post

So, I’m using the HTTP Post Action in Tasker with the following configuration:

  • server port: Hassio-ip:8123
  • Path: /api/services/script/turn_on?api_password=my_password
  • Data/File: {“entity_id”:“script.radio_gold”}
  • Content Type: application/json

I don’t get any error messages, however, the scripts don’t run when I run the Tasker task.

I’m sure there is only a small error in my config, as I’m reaaally new to this.

Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem. I followed every guide, but it wouldn’t work.

Try skipping “turn_on” and put the script name there.
Path: /api/services/script/radio_fritz?api_password= my_password

Leave the “Data/File” empty.

This worked for me.
