I'm working with the Maker API and last night noticed an http PostURL message from the Hubitat telling me that it was sunset. I was wondering where I could find a list of the PostURL messages that aren't associated with device updates that the Hubitat will send. Examples of the messages I'm talking about are Sunrise, Sunset, and what others???
I just need to write additional code to deal with these messages when they are sent by the Maker API to the 3rd party system I'm working with.
I didn't see anything in the developer docs or by searching through the community postings
Thanks @zarthan. To be honest, I'm not sure either. It may give me a hint as to what to expect but it certainly isn't a definitive list of what I might event messages I might possibly receive and have to code for.
I figured it was worth asking here before bothering them. I thought someone working with Maker API might have already run into this and gotten the information.
Thanks @Ryan780. Good to know but in my situation I want updates from presence sensors to be sent so I need to leave that setting on.
As I said in the beginning, I've seen the messages for sunset and I assume there was also one this morning for sunrise. I'm really wondering what others there might be.
No you don't. Device events will be sent when the URL is entered. This toggle is for Location Events (sunrise, sunset, mode changes, HSM changes, etc).
Very weird. Two days ago I was banging my head against the wall testing a virtual presence sensor because I wasn't seeing PostURL event messages. Then I turned on the location events switch and the virtual presence sensor PostURL updates suddenly started working. Maybe it was just happen chance since I've seen some weirdness where a newly added device won't send update messages until some magic occurrence takes place and then it suddenly starts working.
