We have an existing integration that utilizes SmartWall control, however a current project doesn’t have access to that feature. As an alternative, we have been exploring the REST API and Matrix functionality, until we can put together a different plug-in. Our test setup is using the API to trigger a User Defined Event, with a Rule that sends a camera to a Matrix window. After going through the documentation, I am still uncertain on one item. First, in order to eliminate the need for hundreds of rules, we were hoping to use the “devices from metadata” option in the Rule configuration. Can anyone provide an example of what exactly needs to be sent in the “Data” key when initially triggering the event from the API, so that the rule can properly pick up on the camera we want? We’ve tried many different ways after going through this forum, without much luck.
I appreciate any help. Thanks!
