I'm trying to remotely change a state in ha by sending a post request. This works fine when using my local ha instance but doesn't when I try to connect remotely.

I'm using this command:
C:\Users\User>curl -X POST "http://xxxxxxxxx.ui.nabu.casa:8123/api/states/input_select.tomi_home" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{"state": "AWAY"}"

I get this error:
curl: (28) Failed to connect to xxxxxxxxx.ui.nabu.casa port 8123 after 21046 ms: Couldn't connect to server

try changing to https and removing the port like this
https://xxxxxxxxx.ui.nabu.casa/api/states/input_select.tomi_home

Great, that worked, thanks a lot!!

#

Since I'm planning to send thsi command automatically from my phone I was wondering whether there are any substantial security risks when posting this data including the token

there is always risk to things being exposed but its pretty minimal

yes you want to keep that private

probably dont want to publically put your endpoints around too much though in case people mess with you 😛

#

xxx'ing out stuff when asking for support is definetly a good call
