curl -X POST -d ‘{“entity_id”: “switch.office_subwoofer”}’ https://xxxmyhomexxx.duckdns.org/api/services/switch/toggle -H ‘Authorization: Bearer xxxabcdefghxxx’

I tried numerours combinations and options in webcore to shuffle the authorisation and entity_id. But all of them gave 500 error as response and the command did not get sent at all.

Given that json works from online tool, it should work in webcore as well.

Can you please help me with how to correctly configure the piston.

Thank you.

I think all you need to do is create a web request, enter the URL, choose POST, leave the body as JSON, under ‘Send variables’ select ‘Variable’ and choose entity_id, and under ‘Authorization Header’ section select ‘Variable’ and Choose Authorization.
