I couldn’t find anything in the forum or online regarding this question. Is it possible to use a URL to pause a piston. I have alerts to notify us about different things such as door being open too long and whatnot. We receive these alerts via text message. I would love to include a link in that text message that I can click on to either pause the piston or even start another piston which can then pause those notification pistons. Any idea if this is an option and if so what URL I would need to use?

The way that I do that is this. First, make a new piston called something like “Pause X Piston” and make the code this:
but point the red text to the piston that you wish to pause…
After you save that piston, look at the top of the piston page, and take note of the highlighted section here:
Take note of the External URL, and then you can run that piston
(which pauses the other piston) with a simple click.
(Just be careful who you share that link with)

That’s gonna be a very long link to include in a text message… maybe consider an IFTTT maker link instead… it’s shorter so won’t look so messy in the text.
