Hubaction vs HttpGet/Post etc

stephack · October 1, 2018, 7:50pm

I would like to know if there are any benefits or drawbacks of one versus the other for http calls. I've read about differences in ST (@patrick was part of this discussion) where hubaction takes place locally and httpPost etc takes place in the cloud...but that should not be relevant in Hubitat.

So...any pertinent differences?

I believe hubAction is an asynchronous call, whereas the standard httpPost/Get calls are synchronous. If you use the asynchronous httpPost/Get calls, I would think they would be almost synonymous.
