Assign group policies by device type via Meraki API

[JavierM]

Hello!
I need to "assign group policies by device type" on my entire Meraki network. I want to do it through Meraki Dasboard API but I can't find a way to do it. I can't find the corresponding field.

To be clear, I mean the following option within an SSID:

Do you know if it exists?

Thanks a lot
A greeting

This feature does not tend to work that well.

Try it out manually before investing too much effort in trying to configure it.

OMG........ 

I do not understand when a manufacturer puts a service that does not work correctly ......

Thanks for the answer PhilipDAth

Have a read over this as well about how it detects the OS.

As @PhilipDAth said, and based on my experience too, that feature doesn’t work overly well. You’ll always get some devices which are incorrectly identified.

If you really want to identify the devices then I’d suggest that you look at Cisco ISE (or one of the other third party offerings). Yes there is a price, but they’re a lot more accurate and you can tune them (and they can also offer other features too, e.g. guest workflows, RADIUS), and they’ll likely have REST APIs you can use too (I know ISE does).
