API with custom commands

Ólavur8 years ago

Hello,

I am trying to send a custom command using the API.

The command is: *TS01,WFE;0#
Hex value is: 2a545330312c5746453b3023

This works fine using "Custom command" in the web interface but when I try to POST this using the API I cannot get it to work:

This is what I POST. Can anyone tell me what is wrong here?

{
  "deviceId": 1,
  "type": "WFE;0",
  "attributes": {
                
            }
}
</pre?
This is the error I get:
Command WFE;0 is not supported in protocol ulbotech - RuntimeException (BaseProtocol:66 < ActiveDevice:61 < CommandResource:37 < ...)

You should use "custom" as the type, and put your command into the attributes as "data".

Thanks. Worked like this:

{
  "deviceId": 1,
  "type": "custom",
  "attributes": {
             "data":   "2a545330312c5746453b3023"
            }
}

Must the data attribute be HEX value? It is not possible to use text?

It depends on the protocol. For some it's text, for some it's HEX.
