Good day everyone,
I have a networked projector that I am trying to connect to my home automation (Dell 7609WU). It has a simple web interface that uses an HTML form post to turn on and off the projector. While inspecting the html I found this code for the submit action
== $0 ...many other buttons and things.... == $0
and the power off function is similar.
Is there any way that I can send these requests from Node Red? I do not have much experiece with php or backend development. Any help will be much appreciated!

Try this first in a browser to see if it works:
[http://YourProjectorIp/tgi/status.tgi&PJSTATE=1&DSP\_SOURCE=121](http://YourProjectorIp/tgi/status.tgi&PJSTATE=1&DSP_SOURCE=121)
If this is working it's not that difficult to implant this in NR.

@ChrisDeVilliers You don't need PHP or any serious backend development knowledge/skill to serve a form or receive data from Node-Red.
You can use a get API to serve the HTML form which will post the data to another API on submit (post endpoint) created inside your Node-Red instance.
I have prepared a sample flow. Hope it'd help.
```auto
