Android tasker with webauth protected FHEM

[homer]

Hi All,

I can turn a light on using tasker by issuing the following with HTTP GET:

my_url:my_port/fhem?cmd.LOUNGELIGHT=set%20LOUNGELIGHT%20on

... but only if I turn webauth off in FHEM. I assume I need to pass my username and password in the URL? Can someone please let me know how to do this?

Thanks
Homer

Ok. I've worked out what to do:

username:password@my_url:my_port/fhem?cmd.LOUNGELIGHT=set%20LOUNGELIGHT%20on

Thanks everyone for your help. Joerg, your suggest seems sensible. I'm giving it a try!

Thanks
Homer

Thanks Homer!

Nice to know how it works if web auth is enabled!
Now I can trigger FHEM commands from my "CRON Server" which controls several devices via shell script from outside.
