- resource (Required): The resource or endpoint that contains the value.
- name (Optional): Name of the REST switch.
- - body_on (Optional): The body of the POST request that commands the switch to become enabled. Default is “ON”. This value can be a template, which is useful if the POST request needs to depend on the state of the system. For example, to enable remote-temperature-sensor tracking on a radio thermostat, one has to send the current value of the remote temperature sensor. On can achieve this using the template
'{"rem_temp":}'.
- - body_off (Optional): The body of the POST request that commands the switch to become disabled. Default is “OFF”. This value can also be a template.
- - is_on_template (Optional): A template that determines the state of the switch from the value returned by the GET request on the resource url. This template should compute to a boolean (True or False). If the value is valid JSON, it will be available in the template as the variable value_json. See this example in the template docs. Default is equivalent to
'{{ value_json == body_on }}'. This means that by default, the state of the switch is on if and only if the response to the GET request matches body_on.
