Motion lighting rule that hits an HTTP link

I still have all of my lighting on my Vera until I can get around to writing a driver for HE.

I am putting 2 motion sensors in my garage. I want motion to turn the lights on, and if no motion for 10 mins to turn the lights off. Basically, if there's motion again, I want this 10 minute timer to reset.

The second part of this is that the lights are controlled via Vera. I can turn them on/off via HTTP to port 3480 on the Vera. Is there a way to make a rule hit an HTTP link for the on command and another one for the off command?

@signal15 there is an built in app in Hubitat that is called Zone Motion Controller that I been using for a couple of years. I use it in Smartthing and now Hubitat as I have four motion sensor that is tied to a room which could be any room and it been working solid and I have not any issues with it.

This can be done with a simple rule in Rule Manager. See example below...I'm assuming the hhtp endpoint you are hitting requires a GET request. If not, Post is an available option as well in RM.

I moved all of my Z-wave devices over to the HE, so no need to do the HTTP request since my garage was Z-wave. I was on a 2 hour conference call today where I just had to listen, so I spent that time listening and excluding/including Z-wave devices.

I've only had to do that once before (when switching from Vera Lite to Vera Plus). It just reinforced the fact that I hate Z-wave and won't buy anymore of those devices.

The rule you have seems to work great. Thanks!
