Unable to get rest_command to work with Synology cameras

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get the rest_command service to work with a URL that toggles my Synology cameras on and off.

If I enter:

http://10.0.1.190:5000/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.SurveillanceStation.ExternalEvent&method="Trigger"&version=1&eventId=1&eventName="This is external event1"&account="username"&password="password"

into my browswer url bar the cameras disable as required.

Here’s is my attempt to automate this:

configiguration.yaml
rest_command: !include rest_configs.yaml


rest_configs.yaml:  
  disable_synology_cameras:
    url: http://10.0.1.190:5000/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.SurveillanceStation.ExternalEvent&method="Trigger"&version=1&eventId=1&eventName="This is external event1"&account="username"&password="password"
    method: PUT

automations.yaml:

- alias: Disable Synology Cameras
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.disable_synology_cameras
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: tts.google_say
      data:
       entity_id: media_player.kitchen_speaker
       message: "Cameras disabled"
    - service: rest_command.disable_synology_cameras

It all passes config check with no errors.

What am I missing here?

I’ve figured it!

Should have used GET, not PUT.
