• group [HTTP] /group
• User groups
• event [HTTP] /event
• System events
• action [HTTP] /action
• Action scripts
• schedule [HTTP] /schedule
• CRON schedules
• device [HTTP] /device
• device metadata
• device.event [HTTP] /device/:device/event || /device/event
• device events
• device.data [HTTP] /device/:device/data || /device/data
• Measure data
• rules [HTTP] /device/:device/rule || /device/rule
• Immediately rules when data received. If rule(s) match, start execute action(s)

Query parameters:

[q=][&c=true][&f=][&fo=true][&s=][&sk=][&l=] q= - restrict results by the specified JSON query c=true - return the result count for this query f= - specify the set of fields to include or exclude in each document (1 - include; 0 - exclude) fo=true - return a single document from the result set (same as findOne() using the mongo shell s= - specify the order in which to sort each specified field (1- ascending; -1 - descending) p= - specify the set of fields to populate in each document sk= - specify the number of results to skip in the result set; useful for paging l= - specify the limit for the number of results (default is 1000)

To do

• basic test steps against API
• nice GUI - work in progress
• more functionality - work in progress
• plugin functionality
