**Activating HTTPS requests**

To use HTTPS requests, the feature has to be activated in the ekey bionyx app.  
Start by opening the app and logging in.  
You should see the dashboard with the standard ekey bionyx function(s).

Go to the settings screen by selecting the user icon.  
Then select “Smart home connections” and activate the interface.

Note that only an administrator is allowed to do so.  
Other users do not see this option in the ekey bionyx app.

After that, you can either [add an HTTP request in the app](https://developer.ekey.net/t/2-adding-https-requests-with-the-app/28) manually or [use the API to do this automatically](https://developer.ekey.net/t/2-authenticate-and-configure-actions/20).
