You account will allow you to perform a number of server side actions. The HTTP POST action will allow you to POST data from your module to a third party server or application.

There are three types of HTTP POSTs

• Digital Input POST
• Analog Input POST
• Pulse Count POST

HTTP POSTs can be tested at this website: http://www.posttestserver.com/

Send a POST when a digital input is triggered

• URI: Address of POST
• Basic Authentication Username: Basic HTTP Authentication Username (not required)
• Basic Authentication Password: Basic HTTP Authentication Password (not required)
• Digital Input Off Content: Parameter and value to be sent in the digital off state.
• Digital Input On Content: Parameter and value to be sent in the digital on state.

Send a POST when a analog input is triggered

• Analog Trigger Condition: Determine if the action is triggered when the analog value goes above or below a set threshold value.
• Analog Trigger Value (0 to 1023): Set the threshold, in RAW, when the action will be triggered.
• URI: Address of POST
• Basic Authentication Username: Basic HTTP Authentication Username (not required)
• Basic Authentication Password: Basic HTTP Authentication Password (not required)
• Content: Parameter and value to be sent on the transition across the trigger.

Send a POST when a pulse count number is hit. This actions works exactly like the analog action; however, it works on pulse counts rather than analog values.

• Pulse Count Limit Condition: Determine if the action is triggered when the pulse count value goes above or below a set threshold value.
• Pulse Count Limit (0 to 4294967295):: Set the threshold when the action will be triggered.
• URI: Address of POST
• Basic Authentication Username: Basic HTTP Authentication Username (not required)
• Basic Authentication Password: Basic HTTP Authentication Password (not required)
• Content: Parameter and value to be sent on the transition across the trigger.

Substitutions can be used to send variable data to a POST.

Pass the analog input to a POST

%%input%%

Pass a digital state to a POST

%%condition%%

Pass a date and time to a POST

%%datetime%%

In the below example, a POST is made to the fictitious website http://mywebsite.com/doorState.php.

Transition to OFF STATE as detected by digital channel

POST http://mywebsite.com/doorState.php?door=closed

Transition to ON STATE as detected by digital channel

POST http://mywebsite.com/doorState.php?door=open
