Webhook callback problem about homebridge-http-webhooks HOT 4 CLOSED

Can you make a bit more clear what requests are sent by who and what the current behavior looks like and what is the desired behavior?

from homebridge-http-webhooks.

I have a program that listens to my home controller for changes in light states.

When i detect a change (e.g. when a light gets turned on), i send a webhook to your plugin, so the change is also reflected in homekit.

The on events from your plugin gets sent to the home controller, which then turns on the light.

When that happens, my program detects the change, and sends it back to your plugin via webhook.
Your plugin then updates homekit, and sends the on event to the controller once more, causing a loop.

What i would like, is to be able to send the status via webhook call to your plugin, but only updating the change in homekit, without sending it back to the controller.
It could be like an option to the webhook call (eg. &UpdateOnly=true).

Hope it makes sense..

Yeah, got you. Well, first I want to tell you, that a button/light does not need to haven an on/off url. If you just want those reflecting the states, remove the urls. Second, thinking about the code, it seems to me that actually a webhook should never run the url request, as in most cases the call will come from another smart home device to update the state. So, there should be no need to send on/off url back to that system as it already knows the state. I will think more about it and might change it pretty soon.

Fixed with v0.0.27.
