Using URL Routine Trigger with HTTP instead of HTTPs

Modified on Sun, 28 Jan 2024 at 08:20 PM

Overview

Some embedded systems, software tools, and smart home appliances do not support HTTPs. They can only make connections through HTTP on port 80.

In this case, you can call your triggers using HTTP – instead of HTTPs. Simply use the URLs provided for your triggers and replace https://… with http://…

Please note that HTTP is generally considered insecure. Whenever you can, use the HTTPs URLs provided for your triggers and only consider using HTTP if you do not have any other options!
