What this PR does / why we need it:
(REQUIRED)
This leverages the backend to make
POST
requests for recipe actions. The previous implementation had issues requiring us to send the content typetext/plain
. Using the backend we get around this. Consequently, it's also a lot faster for the user since we don't have to wait for the response from the external server (the backend uses background tasks from FastAPI so it can return a202
response immediately).Since we now send the correct content header (
application/json
) it should work nicely with Home Assistant. Since this feature was already slightly broken because of the content header, I took this time to improve the actual payload to include the recipe action. This results in a breaking change, though a minor one (since it was impossible to extract the body previously anyway in a lot of applications). We also don't use merge fields in the POST type, since we're already sending all the data in the payload anyway.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
