It doesn't seem to be working. I think it's because I have a password on the site. In Chrome I can add it to the URL but the HTTP get in Tasker doesn't seem to register it.

Handy. How many wireless devices do you have? And is your new relay just triggered straight from the Pi?

Slightly changed my task and it seems to be working.

Turn WiFi on
Wait 30 seconds
Wake device
Wait 3 seconds
Call 150
Wait 3 seconds
End call
Wait 3 seconds
Browse to URL and turn heating on for 90 minutes

Hopefully it will work in the morning and we'll have a nice warm house.

It should work with passwords. Let me just screen shot my config because you really don't need to do all this waking and screen on stuff.

Screenshot wouldn't really show it.

In the server: port section you want it to be this format. No http etc

user:pass@address/location/index.php?status=alloff

Set timeout to 1

Yeah triggered by the Pi with a 433 MHz signal.

Controllable lights:
1 lightwave rf dimming switch in the bedroom
1 dimmable led strip in the bedroom behind the bed
1 bedside lamp on a remote socket
1 living room lamp on a remote socket
1 led strip behind the TV on a remote socket

I've got other things on remote sockets too and some spares in case I want to add more.

Heating didn't come on again this morning. Not sure why :S

Just tried HTTP Get again and not working. I've copied the URL that works in Chrome and it does nothing. Could it be the two colons in the URL?

user@pass:blah.ddns.net:port/boiler/index.html?param=heatingon

It's user:pass@address not user@pass

Or the other option I've noticed I use is

user:pass@address in the server:port section

/folder/page.html?whatever=blah in the path section

Try that

user:pass@address.co.uk:80/ha/blah.php?status=alloff

Worked fine for me too.

I assume you're using a normal .htaccess type username/password setup?

Oops. Typed them wrong on here. It's the right way in Tasker. I'm pretty sure CivetWeb uses a .htaccess file but can't remember.

And if I output the request to a file it's completely empty.

I just downloaded a terminal emulator nns used wget. It says unauthorised with the user/pass there. Hmm.

I'm getting a 401 from Tasker. Not sure how to fix that.

Try
http://user:pass@myurl

I don't have http but you might need to

3 quid!? :C

That didn't make any difference. I can't work out if it's my web server or my phone that's the problem.

I think it's the server that's the problem. I just logged into my Pi at home and tried wget. Same problem, 401.

I either used some Google play store credits from various device purchases, Google opinion rewards, or it was on sale at some point.

Get it from Aptoide if you don't want to pay.

don't you do Opinion Rewards or whatever the survey's called? I make about 10p a day off that, soon adds up. 

I just checked and I paid £1.99 but that was 3 years ago. I haven't actually used it for anything til now and I can't even get that to work :(
