Controlling with JSON
The A2Z‐Link can be controlled using JSON formatted data. This can be used to get status from devices as well as control devices.
The requests and posts are sent to the unit on port 80.
Some notes on this API:
* Parameters are not case sensitive
* most parameters accept "all" as an option to include all items, or if the parameter is not included "all" is assumed
The following commands are available:
GET requests
U R L
