Rest and Post - how to use?

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Want to use Fully’s rest interface and webcore to send a web POST request to the tablet running fully browser. .

2) What is the expected behavior?
I will be able to switch panels in actiontiles

3) What is happening/not happening?
I’m not sure how to set this up.

My tablet has a static IP.

Just need help how to set this up.

#2

I just saw Fully Kiosk rest interface. I’m interested in this too. Going to start playing with it to make this happen unless someone has already done it and posts a reply before I can get it to work.

#3

Someone suggested this but didn’t show how they set it up. I haven’t used REST yet so I wouldn’t know where to start.

Let me know if you need any help with the Piston design.

This example will switch from one panel to another in 1.5 minutes. Trigger by clicking on the Execute URL. You can create your own trigger to load a specific panel… maybe by presence, time of day, day of week, cycle between panels or trigger an Alexa switch… Alexa, load action tiles battery levels :slight_smile:

Beautifully written @eibyer!

I especially appreciate line 20…
Would you believe after all this time, I have never tried to use a decimal in minutes? LOL
I have always used integers for minutes/seconds etc.

Thanks Sam I replied in that thread

This is really cool I’ll mark it as a solution if you can possibly share a backup pin

Here you go… trigger is a virtual switch.

This is awesome!

And since we’re on the topic already… if using the tablet camera is unreliable when detecting motion, you can use your ST connected motion to turn on the tablet screen.

If Motion changes to active

I like this. I use something similar to wake up my desktop computer when I walk into my office.

I am not using motion for this one (sensors and time) but I find Fully Browser to have the best motion detection out there. Makes the Fire Tablet and ActionTiles (plug @CosmicPuppy) a match made in HA heaven.

It could be device issues (cheap camera hardware) and placement in my case. So this is one alternative if there are issues when detecting motion in the dark.
