IFTTT Webhook - Server returning 401

[Falken]

Hi!

I have configured a working Domoticz setup with access from the WAN-side of things.
However, when I create a request like this: https://myip:443/json.htm?type=command& ... l&level=10, the server returns a 401 when coming from the outside my network.

If I visit the adress above from inside my network, the actual switch (A Xiaomi Robot Vaccum) starts its cleaning.
So, does any body know how to set up IFTTT properly so that I dont get a 401?

THANK YOU so much in advance.

No one?

Hey, what did you use to protect your domoticz from the outside?
If you did that in domoticz at settings and then local networks then you need to add an username and password in the url else you will get the 401 message.

for example https://user:secretpassword@myip/json.h ... l&level=10

I get the same error from IFTTT - I have tried supplying my credentials in the URL both as plain text, and as base64 encoded.

From my phone via cellular data, it works (both of the above options)... from my LAN it works.... from IFTTT - it does not work.... from a friend in Australia and a friend in Canada - it does not work... (I am in South Africa)

This used to work (a long time ago though) with base64 encoded credentials. I am only now looking at this again loooooooooong after its stopped working.

Strange that international access seems to get 401 - whilst locally it works (and no - I do not have anything doing geo-blocking)

I use the below format (IDX, url and credentials changed obviously....)
https://domoticz.place.co.za/json.htm?u ... itchcmd=On

Hi,
I had the same problem and finally found that using the format

http://<username:password@>domoticz-ip<:port>/json.htm?api-call

worked for me. You also need to change the authentication method in "settings/website protection" to "basic-auth".

However base64 encoded credentials don't work for me. I'm not sure of the utility of encoding the credentials as it's very easy to decode then, unless of course I've totally misunderstood the concept
