Provides a simple way to execute PowerShell code on a PC, based on HTTP GET or POST requests to certain URLs.
Can, e.g., be used to control the Windows Night Light feature and your monitor brightness, with requests coming from your home automation system that also controls your lights.
Download the files with GitHub's feature "Code > Local > Download ZIP" and extract them into a directory of your liking.
Open an elevated PowerShell command prompt and navigate to the directory.
Install the web server software Pode from PowerShell Gallery with:
Install-Module -Name PodeRun the setup script:
.\Setup.ps1Now you can run a webhook server in a non-elevated PowerShell command prompt:
.\Example.ps1Create your own webhook server script to define the names of your webhooks together with their PowerShell code, or edit an existing script.
Create an autostart shortcut in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (for current user) or %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs (for all users). To hide the console window in the taskbar tray, use Tray Valet like so:
"C:\path\to\tray-valet.exe" --win-class ConsoleWindowClass --icon "C:\path\to\powershell-webhook.ico" --set-win-icon -- conhost powershell -File "C:\path\to\Example.ps1"
Of course, you can also use pwsh instead of powershell, if you installed it.
