[SOLVED]RESTful toggle command doesn't seem to work wit...

I have a virtual device named "Dk Wall Lights Link" that is linked to a variable named "DkWallLightsLink". This is linked to Action Groups that simply toggle the variable between True & False.

In the GUI client, if I change either the device or variable, they work as expected, so I'm pretty sure I have the VD setup correctly.

Using REST commands, I can't get the toggle command to work with either the variable or the device. Output below:

I have the same results if I try to toggle the variable instead of the VD.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Did you specify a toggle action group (and enable the Supports Toggle checkbox) in the virtual device config?

Nope...

From my other discussion about VD's, I obviously don't know everything I need to know about them.

I just modified the VD as you described, and it's working as expected via the REST toggle command

Thanks again!

Frank

Ps. Please mark this as answered or solved.

Glad it's working. I marked this one, though all we do is go back to the first post and prepend [ANSWERED] or [SOLVED] to the subject - no rules about which to use, just whichever seems appropriate.
