I had the same problem but I am using home assistant. I ended up installing MMM remote. And created a switch for on and off parsing theese urls. Maybe that would work for you as well?

command_on: "/usr/bin/curl -X GET http://192.168.0.77:8090/remote?action=MONITORON"
command_off: "/usr/bin/curl -X GET http://192.168.0.77:8090/remote?action=MONITOROFF"
