URL API used in smart power strips NETIO
In NETIO products, URL API (http get) refers to a simple way of passing parameters by invoking a URL of a web page within the product interface. In this way, it is simple to turn on/off or toggle each individual socket. The disadvantage is that the communication is one-way only. Sockets can be controlled but their state, consumption or voltage cannot be read.
Toggle output 1, the password is “url”: http://192.168.101.69:1087/netio.cgi?pass=url&output1=4
Recommendation: The URL API is not secured in any way. We recommend setting a password and using it.
URL API (http get) can be used to pass data from the web into two processing methods:
Standard M2M API interface (URL API)
See the “M2M API Protocols” tab. The parameters in the URL are hard-coded.
For an example, see NETIO AN19 URL API (http GET) protocol to control NETIO power sockets/outlets
A custom Lua script
The custom Lua script has full control over the parameters and their interpretation.
For an example, see NETIO AN04 - Remote power socket control by URL (http get handled in Lua script)
