How to control shower alert via api?

[wojtulab]

Hello,
I can't find any example how to control shower_alert via api. Could you give me a hint?

[proddy]

sure. What are you trying to achieve?

[wojtulab]

I would like to turn on/off shower alert via automation in home assistant based on rules/time etc
I am thinking about

HA: configuration.yaml

rest_command:
  set_shower_alert:
    url: "http://<EMS_IP>/api/system/settings"
    method: POST
    headers:
      authorization: 'xyz'
      Content-Type: "application/json"
    payload: '{"showerAlert": {{ shower_alert_status }}}'

template:
  - switch:
      - name: "Shower Alert"
        turn_on:
          service: rest_command.set_shower_alert
          data:
            shower_alert_status: "true"
        turn_off:
          service: rest_command.set_shower_alert
          data:
            shower_alert_status: "false"

or just cURL:

curl -X POST http://<EMS-IP>/api/system/settings \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer xyz" \
     -d '{"showerAlert": false}'

this curl not working... why? Is it possible to enable/implement that?

@proddy do you know how to achieve it?

[proddy]

You cannot turn on and off system settings via the API, but maybe we should implement it.

@MichaelDvP what do you think?

[MichaelDvP]

If someone needs a setting i'm ok with it, but i don't think it's usefull to implement all settings as commands.

[wojtulab]

maybe not all settings but only this one?
