Vortec4800 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I'd like to do some integration with the ISY in some software that I am working on, and want to be able to control devices through the device. If I have the device address already, can I send an HTTP POST message to the ISY with the device address and command (on, off, etc) and make it happen? Is there a way to pass a specific dim percentage or a way to have the ISY pass back the status of a device? Is there a better way to do this than using POST messages?
Michel Kohanim Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Hello Vortec4800, We do have a free Web Services library which you are welcome to use (simply send an email to support@universal-devices.com with your request). But, I think you are talking about a REST approach where everything is URL based. If so, we are working on it as it would make things much easier for smaller projects. With kind regards, Michel I'd like to do some integration with the ISY in some software that I am working on, and want to be able to control devices through the device.

Vortec4800 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 A REST system would be amazing! Thank you!!
Michel Kohanim Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Hello Vortec4800, Yes, REST would be much easier to handle and it's something we are actively working on. It's surely much simpler than doing heavy web services calls. With kind regards, Michel A REST system would be amazing! Thank you!!
Vortec4800 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 Any thoughts on an ETA for REST services? Are we talking a couple weeks, a couple months? Middle of next year?
Michel Kohanim Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 It should be couple of months because we need it for our own configurable web modules (you can reconfigure ISY's GUI). With kind regards, Michel Any thoughts on an ETA for REST services? Are we talking a couple weeks, a couple months? Middle of next year?
