How to control shower alert via api?

[wojtulab]

Hello,
I can't find any example how to control shower_alert via api. Could you give me a hint?

[proddy]

sure. What are you trying to achieve?

[wojtulab]

I would like to turn on/off shower alert via automation in home assistant based on rules/time etc
I am thinking about

HA: configuration.yaml

rest_command:
  set_shower_alert:
    url: "http://<EMS_IP>/api/system/settings"
    method: POST
    headers:
      authorization: 'xyz'
      Content-Type: "application/json"
    payload: '{"showerAlert": {{ shower_alert_status }}}'

template:
  - switch:
      - name: "Shower Alert"
        turn_on:
          service: rest_command.set_shower_alert
          data:
            shower_alert_status: "true"
        turn_off:
          service: rest_command.set_shower_alert
          data:
            shower_alert_status: "false"

or just cURL:

curl -X POST http://<EMS-IP>/api/system/settings \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer xyz" \
     -d '{"showerAlert": false}'

this curl not working... why? Is it possible to enable/implement that?

@proddy do you know how to achieve it?

[wojtulab]

http://192.168.1.45/api/showeralert gives me
{
"message": "unknown device showeralert"
}

however showeralert is active

Can't still change it via API.

Done, also moved to shower.cpp.

@wojtulab you use

http://192.168.1.45/api/showeralert

Do you see a difference?

[wojtulab]

thanks, but actually the same scenario

[MichaelDvP]

Yes, it's a setting, not a normal value/entiy. It's also not published frequently, you see the values only in:
http://192.168.1.45/api/system/info
http://192.168.1.45/api/system/settings
http://192.168.1.45/api/system/settings/showeralert
http://192.168.1.45/api/system/settings/showeralert/value

but if you check
http://192.168.1.45/api/system/commands
you'll see that there is a command, but this needs to send you a value to it.

I reupload bin and its working! thanks!

I noticed even if the alert is enabled, it will not activate during a bath after a certain period of time.
