Hello.

I have added a Dummy Device with the app Dummy Device (Version 1.0.0 by Z-Wave.Me)
Is it possible for me to externally change the state of that device with HTTP?
If yes, what is the url?

Yes with something like:
See http://docs.zwayhomeautomation.apiary.io/ for the specification of the virtual device level API. Please note that the document is slightly outdated. So not everything may work as specified there

Thanks.
Perfect, i will test this.

Edit:
Worked

Ok, I looked over the docs page above and I can set the dummy device just fine. Not sure how to read it's status though...

I can check it from another computer with the line:

http://192.168.0.220:8083/ZAutomation/a ... yDevice_12

but if I try the exact same line from the RPi running ZWay, I get a 404 error that the device doesn't exist. Any idea why???

After 3 hours today, I am no closer to figuring out how to access the ZAutomation API from the RPi itself. I'm storing the status I want the dummy device set to in a database but still can't figure the command to change it. Tried from Midori on the RPi and got the same error. Works fine from a computer OTHER than the localhost of the Razberry controller....

Ok, I have definitely determined that the API requires a login. Is there any way to either bypass this or automatically log in the localhost? If this isn't the answer or there's a better solution, I'm all ears. I'm trying to do this from Python. I'm sure it helps to know what environment I'm working in....

You an add anonymous or local user, allow some room to that user and then add device into that room

PoltoS,

I can see the entire device tree from the ZAutomation API on the RPi from within my program but the minute I specify anything to the DummyDevice, I get an error that it doesn't exist. Still working on this but I figured I'd clear up any misunderstanding about where I was at that might exist. I'm almost not sure it has anything to do with authentication at this point, but I could be wrong. I'll look at adding a local user to see if that gets it as soon as I get the time to figure that out.

UPDATE - This solved the issue and I can now see the DummyDevice. Time to move ahead with a few other ideas....
