Report as GET parameters to HTTP

Hi

I did enable " REPORT AS GET PARAMETERS TO HTTP" from the app, and set it to a php page that I own on a public website.

But there is no help neither attached to the setting in the app, nor anything I can find on shelly websites.

My web page logs GET and POST and HEADER, they are all empty, so how is the data attached to the request?

thanks,

Rod

my question is about this setting

"REPORT AS GET PARAMETERS TO HTTP"

correct me if I'm wrong but this is not linked to those documentations.

also is this setting/feature related to "REST API'? or "MQTT"? or is it something else?

I put the shelly door/open device in an apartment that I rent with autonomous entry, so I can be warned when the guest arrives. I have a basic internet box, i can't expose the device from outside, so I can't make remote call, I don't want to put there a raspberry or whatever (like I have in my home for advanced automation) because guest will be in that apartment, not me.

In this apartment I have other sensors from SONOFF and others, and they do have a Cloud where I can be notified by an event, and they do have an IFTT integration to receive those events and then use webhook to notify my web server. So that was easy.

But SHELLY does not have such IFTTT integration to publish events to others (only the other way to allow others to send command to the device through shelly cloud).

i can't connect directly to the device since I would have to expose the device to the internet and I can't.

That's why I was very interested by the "REPORT AS GET PARAMETERS TO HTTP", it does connect to my web server every time there is an event, but without the info. Data/status is not attached. That's the only thing I miss

I guess I could connect to shelly cloud when I receive the GET, but my guess is the time I connect to the cloud the event might have changed (like the door being closed right after being opened) and so the status will be wrongly reported.

i looked here for HTTP request, but this device is not in the list:

HTTP-Request - overview

even here I don't see anything related to my device:

https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/

It is limited to this:

Common MQTT commands

[...]

• Shelly1/1PM
• Shelly2
• Shelly2.5
• Shelly 4Pro
• Shelly Plug/Plug S
• Shelly Bulb
• Shelly RGBW2
• Shelly Dimmer
• Shelly Sense
• Shelly H&T
• Shelly Smoke
• Shelly EM
• Shelly Flood

so do you see any means for this specific device to send events with data/status on a public IP:port?

probably one way is to configure mqtt_server

mqtt_server is your broker's address:port

and just hope that my device support this even if not in the list of devices, and that it does not only report periodically state, but is also able to report an event as fast as it can when it happens.

Since I can't connect from outside; I will have to go in the apartment to push my setting (when n,o guest inside) to send this command, and then hopefully I will get the status on my public website..

It also seems I will loose Shelly CLoud by doing so, it is another reason why I thought the "REPORT AS GET PARAMETERS TO HTTP" parameter from the app would be nice by reporting events while still providing cloud access.

actually I found a post that describe my exact issue.

seems to be a firmware issue, that should have been fixed last week, but still not, so they are probably late.

I will wait still a couple of week and report there when it is fixed.

thanks,
