you can use shell commands to make your instance do this http request, then make an optimistic switch from it.

The following command, for example sets my TCL's Breeva A2 to low.

/usr/bin/curl_ -X GET http://192.168.100.251:5000/command?message=set%20air%20purifier%20a%202%20speed%20to%20low

so my config file has this line:
shell_command: !include includes/shell commands.yaml
and my shell_commands.yaml has these:

tcl_a2_low: "/usr/bin/curl -X GET http://192.168.100.251:5000/command?message=set%20air%20purifier%20a%202%20speed%20to%20low"

I am not sure if its the best way to use it, but it works

BUT

I repeatedly faced issues with this addon. It is unreliable and I believe is abandoned.
@AndBobsYourUncle or am I wrong?

You're really better off creating a notify service:

  - name: ga_command
    platform: rest
    resource: http://localhost:5000/command

and then call it:

service: notify.ga_command
data:
  message: 'broadcast hello'
