Logic make web request

Questions & Help
1

Hello!

As Sony Android app no longer works on V2. I decided to make a flow which will make a POST request to my TV.

I’ve found a Siri shortcut for it: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/9oh4zh/control_sony_tv_power_offon_and_other_tv_commands/

This shortcut works pretty well.

I know that homey has a http request app and also in v2 it can make requests via logic make web request. So I made a flow with logic card like this:
Method: POST
URL: http://192.168.8.10/sony/IRCC
Headers: Content-Type:text/xml: charset=UTF-8 SOAPACTION:“urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1#X_SendIRCC” X-Auth-PSK:sony
Body: <?xml version="1.0"?><s:Envelope xmlns:s=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/” s:encodingStyle=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/”><s:Body><u:X_SendIRCC xmlns:u=“urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1”> AAAAAQAAAAEAAAAVAw==</u:X_SendIRCC></s:Body></s:Envelope>

Everything just copied from shortcut.

But it returns 403, which means no pre-shared-key
I didn’t use a {}.

I think problem with headers.

Could anyone help, how should I list headers there?

Or may be how should use this request in http request app?

Please help)

Did you manage to get this working. I am using the Logic web request card with PSK. But it wont work. The request gets send but nothing happens.

I did manage to get the Sony Android tv to start a app without using a PSK.

I’m using this Sony android tv app. Before they released the app, I had to try requests, but no luck. So the app helped me a lot. Request in homey are too dumb, they do not support authentication, good xml headers and etc.

Thanx for your reply.

It took some thinking and some try and error, but I got it working. The quotes surrounding the Soapaction need to be taken literally and need to be escaped upon encoding by using the \ symbol. This means the url and the body look like this when using the http request app, POST XML card to toggle the tv on and off:

{"method":"POST","protocol":"http:","host":"192.168.68.60","path":"/sony/ircc","headers":{"SOAPACTION":"\"urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1#X_SendIRCC\"","X-Auth-PSK":"1111"}}

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> <s:Body> <u:X_SendIRCC xmlns:u="urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1"> <IRCCCode>AAAAAQAAAAEAAAAVAw==</IRCCCode> </u:X_SendIRCC> </s:Body> </s:Envelope>

Replace the host value to your tv’s IP and change the PSK to your own.

Hope this helps!
