I am thinking that I saw something about maybe a new node type in recent versions of Gateway but I can't seem to find anything anywhere.
Can the new version of Pi Gateway react to any web hooks?
I currently have a hack where I have a totally separate app that listens for external triggers and then sends messages to the gateway. I could do away with that whole app if I can program the main gateway to accept web triggers.
Any thoughts?
Web triggers, web hooks. Not sure if I (and readers) understand the same thing by this terminology.
But I am guessing the secure HTTP request feature would be able to do what you want. I believe you started a separate thread about that where I went into details how to call it from a different place. How you consume the data of that request is up to you (ie add data to a (new) node, or interpret it in some special way).
I'll go back and look into the post history. I had done most of this work a while back and am just revisiting it now.
The goal is to emulate a button press when a "internet input" happens. With some type of secret key to validate.
Looks like this might be it - https://lowpowerlab.com/forum/pi-gateway/gateway-v9-httpendpoint-api/
