How to send simple HTTP command

[Mario P]

I'm trying to trigger an event in my Control4 automation platform based on camera event.
I got things setup on the Control4's end to listen to a simple:

http://10.0.0.210:56671/Dining

, and when testing thru a browser, it works fine.


How do I configure the Web Request or MQTT to send a simple command? I tried this, but it doesn't work:

To hopefully clarify. I'm trying to fire a command based on Face Detection when I enter the room.
I created the SMS event as well, and it works fine.

Have you tried putting the entire URL, including the payload of "Dining", all on one line for the HTTP?
IOW, try "10.0.0.210:56671/Dining" where you now have only "10.0.0.210:56671/" and remove "Dining" from the "Post/payload" window.

Note to self. Do NOT post stupid questions at 4 a.m., just because you've been up for 20 hours, excited to get this BI working!
Thanks TonyR. That did it.
Somehow I thought that I needed to have something in the payload window.
