Simple API

Client logging request

Device should act HTTP client and send standard GET HTTP request to a server

millis=long //execution time of device
device_key=string // provided by web interface
secret_key=string // provided by web interface
temp=decimal
hum=decimal
... // you can add your own parameters to request
                
                

Client receive results

As result from API device will receive semicolon separated parameters/commands

In this example, result is 1, what means TRUE / SUCCESS, OUT1 is command for IoT device, depend on code in device, for example provide 5 volts on output 1 pin, or provide digital output 1/TRUE on output 2 pin what can trigger some relay or even analog device

We decide for this format because of extra simplicity in parse, what is very important in IoT world to keep devices code simple and clean.
