Tasker http post + new auth

Configuration
5

Thanks. It works.

However, other than Tasker, I have been playing around with IFTTT as well, specifically the webhook service.

Then it hit me both are actually using the same thing. So I applied the same concept I used for IFTTT on the built-in tasker HTTP Post task, and it works!

This is what works for me…

In Tasker HTTP Post Task:

Server:Port = https://[HA URL]
Path = /api/webhook/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (replace with your own URL)
Data / File = { “action”: “call_service”, “service”: “light.turn_on”, “entity_id”: “light.living_room” }
Content Type: application/json

In HA automation:

automation:
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: ifttt_webhook_received
    event_data:
      action: call_service
  action:
    service_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.service }}'
    data_template:
      entity_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.entity_id }}'

I prefer this method because it doesn’t rely on third party plugin.
