using REST to work with DoneTick

[young mulch]

anyone know how I can make this work? I want to update a chore using an automation and assign it to a user_id (home assistant). there isn't much documentation on how to get it working on donetick's side. https://github.com/donetick/donetick/blob/main/internal/chore/api.go#L152

When I run the automation it runs without an error but fails to do anything...

rest_command:
 donetick_assign_user:
   url: "http://192.168.68.69:2021/eapi/v1/chore/{{ chore_id }}"
   method: PATCH
   headers:
     secretkey: !secret donetick_api_key
     Content-Type: "application/json"
   payload: >
     {
       "assignedTo": {{ user_id }}
     }

and the automation

alias: Dishwasher request empty
triggers:
  - entity_id: sensor.dishwasher_operation_state
    to: finished
    trigger: state
actions:
  - data:
      task_id: 9
      due_date: "{{ now().astimezone().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT23:59:00Z') }}"
    action: donetick.update_task
  - data:
      chore_id: 9
      user_id: 3
    action: rest_command.donetick_assign_user
mode: single

No experience with Donetick, but did you test the rest command another way? Via Rested for example.

Also, take a look at the logs on both ends for additional clues

Where did you get the idea for using PATCH?

I'm not seeing anything that hints to that, should be PUT for updating a chore

However, it doesn't look like that method updates assignedTo, only name, description and dueDate

[young mulch]

turns out there was a simpler solution since donetick creates an entity for each "thing" so I just needed to do ```yaml
alias: Dishwasher request empty
triggers:

• entity_id: sensor.dishwasher_operation_state
  to: finished
  trigger: state
  actions:
• action: switch.turn_on
  metadata: {}
  data: {}
  target:
  entity_id: switch.donetick_things_dishwasher_cycled
• action: donetick.update_task
  metadata: {}
  data:
  task_id: 9
  due_date: >-
  {{ now().replace(hour=23, minute=59, second=0,
  microsecond=0).isoformat() }}
  name: Empty Dishwasher
  mode: single

it wasnt obvious, since i needed to restart HA for it to show the entity... Which just happened by chance when I was updating HA to the newer version release...

regardless, changing PATCH to PUT did actually resolve the problem as well @north tulip
