How-To: Remote Control the Robin
Robin Tech Note
Control the Robin using Events
The ‘Events’ method can be used to control functions of the Robin with custom commands.
Use this if the direct HTTP commands don’t fit your needs.
The first step is to create a ‘Source’, this will be the activator of the event.
The second step is to create an ‘Action’ that will follow the ‘Source’.
Log on to the Robin web interface and navigate to: -System-Events-, click on ‘Add source’.
•
Define a name for ‘Source’, eg. ‘Demo’.
•
Select as ‘Type’: Http
•
Create a unique Http-path, eg. ‘demo’
•
Apply settings
The HTTP request to use will be:
http://<address>/evmgr/<path>
•
<address> = the address of the Robin
•
evmgr = event manager
•
<path> = the path that is defined in ‘Source’
