Afternoon all. New to Home Assistant and having a mare 🙂 I'm trying to do a few things, but basic stuff for now -> I need to press a button (or also trigger every hr) an http request and then parse the return JSON format, but:

  • Hourly triggers aren't firing using time pattern
  • can't see anywhere where a restful response (if that's the right way to do it) is taken and parsed. Many thanks

For hourly trigger, show what you tried.

That triggers at 1:00 only

#

Hourly you would want hours: * or hours: /1

#

Hmm, the UI is not very intutive

#

So I select Time Pattern

#

And then * goes here, not 1?

Somebody actually just fixed that yesterday 😁

#

(well that it is not intuitive)

#

Yes put the * there

#

Ah, so the * for hours is each hour, or each min etc. or /30 in minutes means every 30 mins of each hour.

#

I wish I saw that in the docs

#

The documentation deals only with YAML editing, and not the UI editing
