I need some guidance on creating a simple button that sends an http request to my arduino webserver.  
The arduino webserver is listening for commands such as:  
[http://myarduinoip/UP](http://myarduinoip/UP)  
[http://myarduinoip/DOWN](http://myarduinoip/DOWN)

When launching these command from a browser arduino is actioning the command just fine (triggering UP or DOWN).  
Now I would like to create buttons in node-red to perform the same action.

Any advise?
