@@SmartHomeMakers I think it was because you jumped into using the iPhone so quickly. I only use Android/PC. What would happen if you simply pasted the whole URL into a web browser?
I have a piece of software that can post data to a generic endpoint. I believe t is a json data. Knowing nothing about json, how can I get help picking out the values that matter to me?
So as i understand it, when you send the json with the key and data , you reference the key name in home assistant. Something like data: message: "{{ trigger.json.message }}" With message being the key in the json.

Let me know which automations you use with webhooks! THE BEST idea will get pinned to this video!
How about examples not requiring an iphone?
@@SBinVancouver you can trigger these automations with postman on desktop and the terminal !
The Alarm Snooze is my favorite. I could see myself using that with my children or myself. 😂
I had a feeling that would have been popular!
Very cool... Loads of possibilities...
Thanks for watching!!!!!
This looks awfully familiar 😏
Good stuff bro!

I admit I had to watch the entire video twice before I understood the concept. Thanks.
Thanks Mark for watching twice! Which part did you find tricky?

Hey Jason! Does Android have a similar feature ?
@@SmartHomeMakers yes I believe there is the paid Android app called 'Tasker' but apparently it's overly fiddly to use!
aaah ok got it!
people asking if android has the same feature where you do a get request for android, hmm let me see, macrodroid, tasker, automate to name a few...
Android has plenty of options
I mainly use HomeKit and some Amazon Echo’s, is it worth using home assistant or shall I just stick with Homebridge?
Hey Alex! I would say it is worth it there are many possibilities with Home Assistant and it is improving each month!
@@SmartHomeMakers Ok will give it a go, I already have Rassbian, as I have other things running on my PI, what is the best way to install HA on that?
