Domoticz switches -- generate payload xml for switches & turn switches on/off

Unless you already have a good understanding of http requests, home automation, and VC, please start by reviewing Nodo's great, brief intro to Domoticz + VC:

NOTE: You'll need to replace the Domoticz server IP address and port number in these commands with your own.

Personally, I store this info in a map table and access it as a map variable so that I don't have to type the address manually for every scrape action.

I forgot to post this command before, but it's part of the same 'package'.

Ask for the status (i.e. 'on' / 'off') of your switches, once you've generated a payload XML for them. (See above)

Nodo has previously posted a link to the Domoticz documentation, but here is the page I used to figure out the correct Scrape URLs to use for these commands:
