Webhooks: The Universal Home Assistant Integration

'After some crude remarks about it's intimate relationship with it's mother..." sounds like me with issues too lol

I just can’t follow the JSON stuff, anyone know of a reasonably priced online class where I can learn this stuff?

great tutorial, thanks for sharing Jeff.

This is exactly what I was looking for!
How would you go about adding a condition based on what's in the JSON payload? I only want the action to take place if the message contains specific words, but nothing I've tried has worked.

My webhooks automation triggered by external nabu url works whenever it wants, it’s not reliable at all, is that normal? I’m doing exactly as in your video and running the nabu URL in shortcuts 😟

Nice tutorial. I am using this to pass on a message input that would have either a notify or TTS or Assistant Relay command as action. I basically have a shortcuts button to prompt a notification to my wife, to broadcast TTS over nest mini and/or to trigger my smart devices using webhook through HA instead of linking an action to iOS shortcuts.

Maybe i'm missing something. But this video is about using webhooks as a trigger for home assistant automation. Can you also use it the other way around?
Let Homeassistant send a webhook to Zapier? So for instance. If my garbage container is full i can scan the NFC tag connected to home assistant and it will send a webhook to Zapier, and Zapier will send a email through Gmail to the garbage company asking them to empty the container? This is what i'm looking for.

How do I use an attribute in a webhook payload to trigger when the attribute changes? I have a device that sends a webhook payload to Home Assistant with a payload showing the status of my front door lock. I only figured out how to get the automation to trigger when it receives the payload, but I need it to read a specific attribute and then trigger IF that attribute goes from "LOCKED" to "UNLOCKED". I'm thinking to create a custom entity and use some kind of code to grab the attribute and update the entity when HA receives the webhook, then use an Automation to trigger when the entity changes, but I cannot figure out how to do this. Help ? Thanks. :)

Nice Splunk shirt !

Hello. Excellent video! I'm trying to do something and running into a problem that I don't know is some limitation of IFTTT with HA. I'm trying to make an applet that when I receive a push notification from a specific application and that contains specific words, make HA receive this event and I want to trigger a message by alexa media notify informing what the push message is. The applet is running normally, and the message is in the log, but the HA is only executing the trigger if I just keep the call service in the body section, if I add a variable to pass the message, or use the service and the entity id to update an input_text, automation in HA does not run. Any suggestion on how to do this?

Very helpful, thank you! Is there a way to store the "message" in a variable that can be displayed in a lovelace dashboard? I have a webhook sending a message that gets updated every minute. Hoping to have my dashboard text updated each time the webhook is updated.

What’s the security implications for allowing an outside untrusted device to run any automation/device action?

i keep getting a 404 error that drives me crazy yet i can access remotely no problem

can you fo a video on sending a webhook from home assistant as an action

Do you have an example of what the domain name for the url looks like?
Or the entire url?

:)

Very nice video, thanks! I can now toggle on and off my lights with my Kronaby Smartwatch (Watch is only IFTTT compatible and the lights are Home Assistant compatible)

Just discovered this as well.. Love the video but lost me when you went into IFTT

I don't use IOS or IFTTT, so I would have loved you to show off a method just using software on the PC (like Postman or Insomnia). Thank you!

Nice video Jeff!! Should use webhooks more in my setup! I think I use them only in Synology integration to get notified if it detects motion on cameras.

Great video! Do you know how to send back a message from home assistant to the webhook sender? I am trying to connect google actions to home assistant via node red. I am able to send webhook to home assistant but not to reply.

Great video and cool use case with the iOS we hook, got me thinking :)

Have you done a video on your iOS shortcuts?

Shouldn't it be "If this ... Then that" ? Vs. "Than that"
(Or maybe that was a pun I missed)
