I have created a switch that should control the various scenes from my Hue.

When I select one of them, it doesn't seem to work, so i checked the log, and noticed that a ΒΆ symbool has been added into the URL. But where I had put the URL it isn't there.

The URL in the input-field is:
At first I thought it was a problem with the '&' in the URL, so I changed that to '&' but that didn't do the trick.

What could be the problem?

Running Domoticz on a Synology NAS.

What text editor are you using? There could be a character there that a particular editor is not showing - this often happens when you copy/paste code snippets from web pages. Delete a few characters before and after that strange paragraph mark and re-type the text normally by hand to see if that helps.

Just using the text-editor build-in Domoticz.

I will try your advice. normally I just do a copy all and then cmd-C and cmd-V to paste it in the text-editor.

This is a known issue, have seen it in my setup as well. If you search the forum for "paragraph" you get a few links with hopefully a solution for you as well.
