Configure smartbuttons via the RESTful API

Overview

As the name already says, some buttons in your Wiser-by-Feller environment are smart. But don't worry, they are not smart at all, you still have to press the (smart-)button yourself.

A smartbutton can de married with a job. That means, by pressing the smartbutton a configured job will be executed.

Do not forget to include the authentication token in all your requests!

🐮 I have not get married yet, probably a smart decision?

Types of smartbuttons

They are two kind of smartbuttons:

  • Smartbuttons from type: scene

    • Example button-frontset (2x scene)

      Scene-Button-2

  • Smartbuttons from type: groupctrl

    • Example button-frontset (1x plus/minus)

      Group-Control-Button-Plus-Minus

Configure smartbuttons

The configuration of a smartbutton consists of the following steps:

  1. Activated the programming mode (program)

    • Choose between scene or groupctrl smartbuttons
    • Configure the blink-time. The default is 60 seconds
    • At this point the smartbuttons do not blinking yet

  2. Run the notify (notify)

    • Now the available smartbuttons will start blinking
      • scene-smartbuttons (will blinking purple)
      • groupctrl-smartbuttons (will blinking yellow)
    • As soon as one of the blinking smartbutton is pressed, all smartbuttons stop blinking and the notify request comes back with a response

  3. The Marriage

    • At this point you can configure a job. Now the marriage of the smartbutton within a job can take place.
