Help sought for JSON payload formatting to use on Streamdeck API plugin

[stylemessiah]

Theres a plugin that allows to use GET/POST/PUT API commands and see the result on the Stream Deck, as it only allows js and compiled .exe plugins.

Im lookign for the ability to turn on/off via a Streamdeck button and also display 2 simple current stats, hours on, current Kwh, and current watts on a Streamdeck button

Any guide of a payload format for would greatly appreciated - specifically unsure how to deal with the encryption

While i have things working with this python method, it cant display the output on Streamdeck....which would be handy.....

Im just looking for some guidance, im okay with having a fiddle, but its out of my confort zone.

I did start thinking runnign a local webserver via python that polls the plugs and creates an endpoint i could access via the Streamdeck API Ninja plugin might be a way to go, but if i could just use a POST call it seems a lot easier and less faff

As a complete newbie to Python last week, i did manage this by myself, so up for a tinker...have to love not having to declare the end of a loop, just indent and lines in it....nice
