FlapIt - User Panel

POST /control/group endpoint

This call sends a command to a named group of devices, specified in the web UI. The request must contain the following fields:

group_id -- The name of the group, chosen by the user in the web UI.
token -- a string. This should be the token given to the user from the web UI.
message -- a string containing the symbols to be displayed on the Flapit devices

Every device has a program associated to it, which is responsible for sending commands to the device. Multiple devices can be assigned the same program from the Flapit web UI, in which case they will be assigned a group name. When the API control is activated for such a group, the previous program controlling the group will be suppressed and the user will be fully responsible for managing the group through the API. Deactivating the API control will restore the previous program assigned to the group.

If you want to have a default automatic behavior for a Flapit device but still want to send direct commands occasionally, you should use the 'control/device' API call.

Examples

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"group_id": "GROUP_ID", "token": "USER_ACCESS_TOKEN", "message": ":) FLAPIT"}' \
