Webhooks on IFTTT for tinyCam

Ok guys. Now my question is: Can I send webhook requests to tinyCam from IFTTT? I have been trying but it is not working.

I am trying to stop an start tinyCam (v12.0.2) background service on a phone (LG X212, Android (can’t remember the version)) when I am arriving home (stop service) and leaving home (start service). To trigger the events on IFTTT I am using Life360 and it seems to work firm BUT IFTTT keep reporting on Webhooks Activity this: Applet skipped, Unable to make web request. Your server returned a 401.

So, Life360 is triggering well the event but somehow webhook is failing. I know that “Your server returned a 401.” is related with authentication; so maybe the webhook authentication is failing…not shure what is going on whit it.

The webhooks I am sending trough IFTTT are these:

(Supouse this:

My tinyCam public IP: 1.1.1.1

My tinyCam public Port: 01)

To shutdown tinyCam background server:

URL: https://1.1.1.1:01/param.cgi?action=update&root.BackgroundMode=off&user=admin&pwd=mypassword

Method: GET

Content Type (optional): text/plain

Body(optional): (empty, I put nothing over here)

To start tinyCam background server:

URL: https://1.1.1.1:01/param.cgi?action=update&root.BackgroundMode=on&user=admin&pwd=mypassword

Method: GET

Content Type (optional): text/plain

Body(optional): (empty, I put nothing over here)

Maybe some of you guys can give an advice?
