How to change Smartspot settings through the Web API

Changing Smartspot settings can also be done through the Web API through an HTTP PUT request.

Retrieving the database ID of the Smartspot

First you will need to know the database ID of the Smartspot.

1. Go the Brain Management Console and login.
2. Go to https://<brain-address>.intellifi.nl/api/spots?serial_number=<serial-number>
3. Copy the id value under the results page. This value usually looks like this: 5b2cadfb8be92f37e81f0999

HTTP PUT request on Web API spots resource

You can now perform an HTTP PUT request on the spots endpoint to change one or more settings.

1. Use the following target URL: https://<brain-address>.intellifi.nl/api/spots/<database-id>
2. Use the following headers:
   1. Content-Type: application/json
   2. X-Api-Key: The Brain API key that was supplied to you.
3. For the body we use JSON. In this example, we are going to change the rfid_power_dbm setting of the Smartspot. All settings that need to be changed will fall under the config_request object. You can change more than one setting at a time.

   {
       "config_request": {
   		"rfid_power_dbm": 27
       }
   }

4. Send the request. An HTTP response with the status code 200 OK indicates the request was succesful. If the Smartspot is online, it should reboot to apply the new settings.

Example using cURL

Using cURL in a terminal/console the request could look like the following:

curl -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Api-Key: <brain_api_key>' -d '{"config_request": {"rfid_power_dbm": 28}}' https://<brain-address>.intellifi.nl/api/spots/<database-id>
