Hi everyone! We just released v0.72.13 that includes Webhooks. Webhooks integration allows adding buttons that send custom HTTP requests. Here are the types of HTTP requests currently supported by Smart Remote:
-
HTTP DELETE
-
HTTP GET
-
HTTP POST
-
HTTP PUT
Please see how to set up Webhooks here.
We would love to get your feedback about this new feature and learn about what you are able to accomplish thanks to it! Feel free to share your DIY projects here!

Yes, we need :
- a button connected to http request
- a dimmer (% based) connected to http request, with a variableSome example :
1. a button to open shutter -> http://local-ip/domos.php?action=openshutter
2. a dimmer (% based) to open shutter on a % basis -> http://local-ip/domos.php?action=openshutter&forhundred=$forhundred (here forhundred is a number between 0 and 100)Why this is usefull ?
1. for home automation : shutter, classic light (no wifi light like Hue), awning, heating..
2. to control an amplifier or projector by http request, this is usefull when aim the IR receiver is not easy.Why not use IFTTT ?
Of course we can do that with IFTTT (maybe, according to your integration of IFTTT), but this is less reliable and less fast. -
Hello,
1. So if I understand correctly, you want a device in which you can add buttons and associate each button to a specific http request. And the request must be called when we click on the button. So it’s really like IFTTT webhooks.
2. And in the same device or in another device, a dimmer associated to a specific http request with parameter that must be changed when the value of the dimmer change and then called.
This matches with your request ? -
I have tested this out and it works really well.
I have it sending messages to node-red in my home automation system, so now the sky is the limit for me. I don't even need IFTTT to control my devices.
I second the call to change the names from Webhooks to something more meaningful and also the icons.
Also, would there be any way that it could also be able to get back a status like ON/OFF or something like that so it can show the most recent value/status of what it is controlling? That would make this feature even more awesome.
And it would be great to have the ability to customize the screen layout so you could have it laid out with buttons more like a remote control rather than just a list to select from, i guess a bit like morreale was saying above about play, etc. That way I could map the buttons/layouts to lights, speakers, shutters, fans, etc (pretty much everything)

We just released v0.72.13 that includes WebhooksNow I can finally buy a remote to start testing, though as others state in this thread I hope its flexibility and usability continue to expand - allowing custom placement, custom button imagery, bidirectional support (subscribe to events / status updates initiated by / sent from other controllers), etc.
