Get ISY Status using a windows software

[waleedelmandouh]

I'm trying to add the ability to get my ISY status from the portal to one of my windows forms software. I know there is an API for REST interface 

https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Developers:API:REST_Interface

and another API called soup

https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Developers:API:Soap

that has this command

GetCurrentSystemStatus (string SID)

The problem it shows no syntax on actually how to call the REST command or how to point it to the ISY portal. the examples only show the response to the REST calls. I would probably also need a way to set the API in the code and an API key. Any idea how to get that? Any suggestions will be of great help.

@waleedelmandouh,

GetCurrenetSystemStatus publishes the status to subscribers. Unless you want to subscribe to ISY,1 what you need is /rest/nodes which has the status for all devices.

Michel,

I don't need devices status. Only the ISY status, I need to know if it is online or offline (connected to the portal or not).

Hi @waleedelmandouh,

Thanks. Do you want to get this from the portal or from ISY?

With kind regards,

From the portal as it's easier to access as Html in my v# code. But I'm open for any suggestions

@waleedelmandouh,

What you need to use is this : https://my.isy.io/api/isys/lookup. This will give you a list of ISYs and their status for YOUR account.

With kind regards,
