API call to MT40 to switch it on and off

Good day

 

Can someone show me what the API string looks like that power the MT40 up and down?

 

I am experimenting with Node Red.

I have a MV2 that sends a signal to a MQTT broker.

When there is movement then a API call must be made to the MT40 to switch it on.

If no movement is detected in 5 minutes then it must switch the MT40 off.

 

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if the node-red package is up 2 date and have the api call, but you would need this one https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/create-device-sensor-command/

I actually managed to switch the MT40 on and off with a python script, so Im making progress!

Thanks

Are you looking to create a schedule to do the power on or off?
or are you powering down, as and when required ?

Sharing python scripting method could be helpful to others as well 😉

Hi there

My son's PC crashed so I had to give him my test PC which the script is on.

When I have my stuff back I will post my solutions here!

 

Have a great day!
