I want use vera to send commands. But I cannot seem to find out how to do it.

I am using auto remote and tasker to control my harmony ultimate.

Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to create a device or an automation scene that can send http commands?

Searching the forum for the same phrase should yield you many results as well.

OK thank you. I found many results regarding sending http commands to vera but not the other way around. In my defence I am still a newbie to vera

As posted before, search the forum, best is to use google.

A simple way ist to add a piece of lua code to a scene like this example:

luup.inet.wget("http://www.google.com")

Ok thanks for all your help. I found the following code and it worked like a charm with that.

i was using: – 5 Second timeout
local status, result = luup.inet.wget(“http://www.google.com”, 5)

It was working fine from the Lua test code in the develope apps section. Using it in scenes seemed to give a dilay of about half a minute.

But simple is good so i adopted your code and it works perfectly. I am now able to control my harmony ultimate from Vera
