RLC-511WA - http Requests to trigger the light

[user_760471719375079_760471719375079]

Hello,
since today I am owner of a RLC-511WA Camera.
Now I want to integrate the Light of the Camera in my Smarthome System.

Does anyone know how to trigger the light via a http request?
I need only the trigger for On/Off in my local network.

I would be happy if someone have an example for me.

Regards
Sven

@user_760471719375079_760471719375079 This is fairly easy. Change IP and credentials. I have no time to test it :).

Switch ON:
curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\":\"SetWhiteLed\",\"param\": {\"WhiteLed\": {\"bright\":100,\"channel\":0,\"mode\":1,\"state\": 1}}}]" "https://192.168.X.YY/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=SetWhiteLed&user=KING&password=ENGINEER"

Switch OFF:
curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\":\"SetWhiteLed\",\"param\": {\"WhiteLed\": {\"bright\":100,\"channel\":0,\"mode\":1,\"state\": 0}}}]" "https://192.168.X.YY/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=SetWhiteLed&user=KING&password=ENGINEER"

Hello,
response on 823A and E1 Outdoor with admin as user and admin pw:
[
  {
     "cmd" : "Unknown",
     "code" : 1,
     "error" : {
        "detail" : "invalid user",
        "rspCode" : -27
     }
  }
]

@user_732475412443337_732475412443337 I just tried it on my E1 OD Pro and RLC-511WA and it works on both. You have an error in username. Check the credentials.

[
  {
   "cmd" : "SetWhiteLed",
   "code" : 0,
   "value" : {
     "rspCode" : 200
   }
  }
]

Never have the username and password the same. Have a strong password. If someone gets your UID he can easily access your camera.

@joseph_1979
I used admins password, not admin as password
Problem was only an "amp;" in cut and paste.
It's working. Thanks.

@user_732475412443337_732475412443337 I was sure it was a credential error.

Hey Joseph,
thank you very much. It works fine. It's also nice that I can control the brightness with this command too.

And sorry for my late answer. I thought I have configured in my Account that I get an email if someone post something into my topics.
That was probably not the case. So I didn't notice at first that someone had replied.

The example command is very helpful for me.
