Example is for a UPS, but other generic uses can be setup in same manner.

Create helper (1-100 unit %)

input_number.uspload

Create curl command in configuration.yaml

(Fix grep/cut accordantly )

shell_command:
    getups: curl -s  "http://x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/apcupsd/upsstats.cgi?host=127.0.0.1&img1=5&img2=6&img3=5&temp=C&refresh=30" | grep "UPS Load" | grep img  | cut -f4 -d= | cut -f1 -d. | head -1
