I use HTTP-Get to switch on/off my subwoofer via the LightManager. If i switch from an activity with Subwoofer (e.g. listen radio) to an activity without subwoofer (e.g. watch tv) the http-command to switch off the subwoofer isn’t sent (subwoofer stays on).

In the activity group configure use modified end sequence. Ralf ---

As already mentioned in the ticket you should use custom entities ---

Sorry, but what is “… modified end sequence” and “… custom entitie”? To make it clear. My usage hasn’t to do with any power-state. Each HTTP-Request sends an command to the LightManger which then executes an RF-Plug. It works correct if an activity is ended but not if is switched to another activity. The same problem exists with Android TV, which doesn’t switch off when the activities changes. Unfolded support has confirmed this as an bug. ---

Modified end sequence in activity group means that all commands in end sequence are executed with the exception of power off for entities that are used in the new activity. It is a setting in activity group ![Screenshot_20260916_161343_Chrome](https://unfolded.community/uploads/default/original/2X/2/23df70f22c70883bef2a96c788fa0a1d6e4fb2ff.jpeg) Because in your example it is really a switch on/off case. What happens if you switch from one activity with sub to another with sub? Here a custom entity with the request integration would be more save. You can create an entity with several http command which behaves like other entities with real switch on/off. Ralf ---

> [@TheWolf](#): > > The sub stays on because the HTTP-Request inside the shutdown sequence isn’t executet. I meant if the http command would be executed. The sub would be powered off and then on again. Custom entity is the only way to make it consistent.

If you created a new Subwoofer entity with the request integration it is a normal entity which can be added like any other entity to an activity. The setting I mentioned is valid for all activities in that group. In configuration of activity the group it belongs to can be configured. Ralf ---

Now there’s another “I don’t know why”: I use two separate commands to switch on and off my TV’s backlight. (Handling like the subwoofer). But … if i change the activity from one “with backlight” to another “without backlight”, backlight is switched off correctely. Why? I thought backlight would work the same (wrong) way like subwoofer did before changing. Now i’m really confused. ![Fernsehen-Sequence](https://unfolded.community/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e97d39bd3dd9621713ad9f1dd46ec2523eb69a69.jpeg) ---

Yes. ![Aktivitäten-Gruppe2](https://unfolded.community/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2b4de24917b4c70a848c9d22c1d7c435827e4305.jpeg) ---

That is the answer. Now all commands in end sequence are executed with exception of power off of still needed devices. But now you should have a little problem if you switch from activity with backlight to activity also with backlight. Ralf ---

Maybe. I’ll try an own entry for backlight (like that for subwoofer). ---

Question: What to do, if i use two devices? Im my case “Subwoffer” and “Backlight”. Must i create two separate entities? ---

As we said it is the best option for on and off as this will be correctly handled by the R2/R3. ---

Just add the second entity to the configuration. This will result in an additional entity. [Next page](https://unfolded.community/t/http-request-is-not-executed-when-the-activity-changes/6312.md?page=2)
