I have a Draytek managed POE switch. I can login to the switch and power cycle ports, which is helpful for rebooting touchscreens/ WAPs etc. I also install Control4. I want to creat a button in Control4, which will allow the client to reboot a touchscreen etc. They are not capabvle of logging intyo a switch and doing this manually.
I have a Control4 driver which makes it very easy to fire simple GET or POST requests from programming. Does anyone know how to create a GET or POST string to power off a port on a switch and then a second one to turn back on, e.g:
http://admin:password@192.168.1.2/admin?port=1&power=off
http://admin:password@192.168.1.2/admin?port=1&power=on
or even
http://admin:password@192.168.1.2/admin?port=1&power=reboot
Ths is the Control4 driver:
