I have to admit I am not very well versed in this but I've spent a couple hours and perhaps I am getting older and I am not further than when I started. I would love to see some documentation on how to get this working. I am still a bit unclear how to make the transition from this program to Haiku or how to even use it afterwards. I think I got the bridge working. I can't find a place to put this file but once I do, then what?

You need to replace the IP and port of the HH server, HH userid, HH password. Then where it says hh api calls, you need to insert the calls that do what you want on the HAI. You will have to refer to the HH Javascript API documentation but here is a full example that can turn a unit (number 3) on/off and set level:
<?php
define('HHAPI_URL', 'http://IP address
ort/api');
define('HHAPI_USER', ‘XXX’);
define('HHAPI_PASS', ‘YYY’);
// Grab the name and date properties from the controller object
if (isset($_GET["dim"])) {
hhapi('controller.unitWithNumber(3).setLevel('.$_GET["dim"].')');
}
else{
hhapi('controller.unitWithNumber(3).toggle()');
}
function hhapi($cmd) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, HHAPI_URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, HHAPI_USER . ':' . HHAPI_PASS);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $cmd);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$error = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if($error) echo $error;
return json_decode($result);
}
Once this file is in the Webserver directory and the Webserver is started. You can add this device using the bridge's configurator and the URL should point to this file. In the configurator, try clicking the test button to see if the URL is correct and the file works (I.e. controls the device). You will then have to use the Alexa app on your phone and go to Settings, Smart Home, Discover Devices. If the bridge is working, it should say it found devices. At that point you can ask Alexa to turn on/off the device.
Don't give up

Oh, sorry, didn't answer your question...yes there is a file for each device defined in the configurator and possibly a separate file for on or off. The only real difference between these files is the HHAPI calls which are defined int he HH Javascript API doc. If you have a specific thing to do, I can try to construct the call.
I can't really comment about the full URL since I am using a different (probably older) bridge and the parms may be different. If you are getting a 404 then the webserver must be running at that address and it thinks you do not have a file in the /Library/Webserver/Documents directory that is called HaikuHelper.php. I assume the filename has the correct case and the .php suffix?
What do you get if you go to http://192.168.1.203:8080?
