Switch to steer Shelly

[Just a shelly user]

How can I use an external switch to trigger my Shelly switch. I use a 1pm plus and configured it to switch on and stay on for 5 sec, than switch of. I.e. a button with 5 sec delay. When I use the external switch, I also need those 5sec delay. This is to switch a door lock. It needs to stay switched on for 5sec to open the door.

Dein Empfänger Shelly ist doch bestimmt mit Auto Off 5Sec konfiguriert.

also kannst du mit jedem Shelly oder Browser den Empfänger Shelly per HTTP Request An schalten, 5Sec später schaltet der Empfänger aus.

teste mit der Richtigen IP einfach das hier in einem Browser

Just so I understand 

Do you want to turn the device on for 5 seconds using an API? 

as stated above you can set the device to auto-off after 5 seconds automatically every time its turned on. you can then also use that API above to turn on the device. 

if you want to send the command only via API when you don't have the auto-off setting set then you can use the following API
