Getting washer and dryer status into the system is something I'm very interested in myself.? We are moving from a house with a washer and dryer that?for the past 21 years have been faithfully sending us a text?when they are done and flashing the lights if we are watching TV or listening to music.? Now we are moving to a house with "smart" appliances and it seems like way more work to integrate them the obvious way rather than just add a relay in parallel with the buzzer like I did to monitor the?old washer and dryer.? I've never had to worry about an update breaking things or having to cycle power to the washer to get it back online and those are some of the worries I have about maintaining a "smart" connection rather than a "dumb" relay.? ?

?

Let us know how you do with integrating them.??

Best of luck,

I'm still at the point where I don't see the allure of most of these smart appliances.? I see value in something like a refrigerator or freezer being able to tell me that the temperature has gone above a threshold.? But I don't see any value in the washer or drying being able to alert me on my smartphone.? We don't let either of those run when we aren't in the house and they both make beeping or buzzing noises that let us know when they're done.? I've heard too many horror stories over the years about someone who left their dryer going and came home to their house burned to the ground.

I get the whole "the customer is paying me to do XYZ" thing though.

Hi Jay,

I use Wireshark at work exclusively on remote machines.? I RDP into a remote server or PC, install Wireshark, then before starting a capture I add a filter to keep the files size down.? It hasn't failed me yet.

Good luck,

Thyce

Thanks Wyatt.

The challenge here is that I'm almost 5000 miles away from where all the hardware is located so trying to use wireshark is a bit of an issue.? Also, all the commands the software is sending to the Hubitat work with the single exception of the command to suspend watering.? There is just something different when the date is attached to the end of the url that works when entered using a browser but doesn't work when sent through S#.

Thanks again

Jay

This would be a use for Postman. I use it for testing any http stuff.

I have no experience with the Hubitat or the Hydrawise, but ideally the response for an auth issue should be a 401 or 403 and not the 404 that you're seeing.? A 404 is supposed to indicate an issue in the URL string.? However, it could be worth a try to leave off the access_token URL parameter (and/or supply a bogus value) on the Crestron call and see if a 404 is still returned.? If the response changes to a 401 or 403 then you have some confidence that you're not dealing with an auth issue with your access_token.? Also, may want to try the browser calling the URL without the access_token and compare that with Crestron calling the URL without access_token to see if there's a difference in response/behavior between the two in that scenario.??

I've seen some equipment that needed certain headers before playing nice, so another suggestion would be adding some of the headers that aren't currently being sent from the Crestron call.? To help with issues like this I tend to use the curl command from a command prompt instead of the browser when troubleshooting.? If a basic curl command with no headers works, then I would suspect something in how the Crestron program is formatting the command and at that point you could try comparing the curl call vs the Crestron call (with the webhooks site or wireshark) without the noise of the additional headers that the browser introduced.? If curl also fails when you use it without headers, then could try adding the headers one by one that the web browser is sending.??

Good luck!
