Hello everyone!

It may be practical to send sensor values to Gladys via an HTTP API, to use Gladys with [Tasker on Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=fr&gl=US) or [Shortcut on iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shortcuts/id915249334).

This post is a simple repost of this tutorial from the documentation, but at least it is also on the forum 🙂

To send a sensor value to Gladys via the Gladys Plus API, you can send a POST request to the following URL:

```auto
POST https://api.gladysgateway.com/v1/api/device/state/YOUR_API_KEY

Body:
{
    "device_feature_external_id": "mqtt:my-phone-presence",
    "state": 1
}

```

(The API key is to be created in the «&nbsp;Settings&nbsp;» tab =\> «&nbsp;Open API&nbsp;» on [plus.gladysassistant.com](http://plus.gladysassistant.com))

The «&nbsp;device\_feature\_external\_id&nbsp;» corresponds to the external ID of a feature:
