there is syntax error:
on System#Boot do
SendToHttp 192.168.1.2/control?cmd=GPIO,12,1
endon

you should use:
SendToHttp 192.168.1.2,80,/control?cmd=GPIO%2C12%2C1

and
WiFi#Connected is better than System#Boot
but I use Time#Initialized and NTP enabled

You're trying to send it to "yourself"?
At boot, there is no guarantee the network is already "up". For that you need to react on another event.
See Event reference
So why not just run the command? Sending it over http is a bit overkill from the rules to yourself.
Also it is a bit hard to communicate in a multi-threaded behavior with just a single threaded core.

yes i have a magnet switch in my mailbox resetting the esp when mailman opens the mailbox, then it send to another esp in my livingroom lighting up a led on pin12

it stopped working for a unknown reason with event:
On Music#1 do
gpio 12,1
//rtttl,14:d=4,o=5,b=180:8f,8f,8f,2a#.,2f.6,8d#6,8d6,8c6,2a#.6,f.6,8d#6,8d6,8c6,2a#.6,f.6,8d#6,8d6,8d#6,2c6,p,8f,8f,8f,2a#.,2f.6,8d#6,8d6,8c6,2a#.6,f.6,8d#6,8d6,8c6,2a#.6,f.6,8d#6,8d6,8d#6,2c6
endon

@nonflammable thanks man, you are a lifesaver :) the syntax was indeed wrong and now the led lights up on system#boot, but i can't make it work on WIFI#Connected for some reason..
if i use syntax like this it works fine:

on System#Boot do
GPIO,1,1 //save batt power by turning onboard led off
SendToHttp 192.168.1.2,80,/control?cmd=GPIO%2C12%2C1
endon

@nonflammable During the day he fights fire, during the night he fights bugs and is on war against syntax terror :)

is it possible to somehow send the cmd SendToHttp 192.168.1.2,80,/control?cmd=GPIO%2C12%2C1 via node-red?

rene9900 on 25 Sep 2018

i think you should use http request:
http://192.168.1.2/control?cmd=GPIO%2C12%2C1
or study about MQTT :)

The original issue is fixed. @rene9900 if you still experience the original issue, please re-open this thread.
If it is about something else, please open a new issue.

I will close this one now, since it is otherwise hard to keep track of all scattered information.
