I have a new Edge driver to share that provides the ability to issue POST and GET web requests to a specified URL. This functionality can help users that may today depend on webCoRE or other cloud-based means to do a similar task. Of course being an Edge driver it enables you to have fast & local…

[image] TAustin: Hi - I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue yet, but can you please confirm what level firmware you have on your hub? Thanks. My hub is in the beta (although I don’t remember if there is currently a beta firmware out there or if it’s in production right now) but I’m on f…

Are you able to capture logs with the CLI?

Assuming the command to capture logs is similar to what it was a few months back, yes I can pull that tonight when I get home from work.

I went to test this out and pull some logs - but it seems to have started working again after I fired off a handful of tests, go figure. Seems as though the driver was maybe just stuck or something. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to try and replicate this!

Weird! But glad it’s working now. If it happens again, fire up the logging to try and capture what’s going on.

Tasker on an Android device can read NFC cards, then you can create Tasks. Tasks could include Http requests, gets, posts plus many other things. With the right plugins it could also trigger SharpTools and/or Alexa routines.

Thanks @Paul_Oliver ; that’s helpful. @Sakari - So in this case Tasker would be the initiator of the HTTP requests, which you would want to use to trigger something in SmartThings. This would be fairly easy to set up using my bridge server in conjunction with one of my companion Edge LAN drivers (…

There’s a video in Youtube how to do it with Tasker app and Sharptools. That of course is not local execution, but with Web Requestor it would be. I read all the documentation you have written and I’m quite confident I could make this work on my own. I’ll ask further help later. Now that I know nfc …
