Model

Attribute

Type

Description

id

string

A universally unique ID for this module.

dependency_id

string

ID of the driver that defines this module.

control_system_id

string

ID of the system this module is bound to (logic modules only).

edge_id

string

ID of the preferred engine node to run on.

ip

string

IP address or resolvable hostname of the device this module connects to.

tls

boolean

True if the device communicates securely.

udp

boolean

Protocol uses UDP rather that TCP.

port

integer

The TCP or UDP port that the associated device communicates on.

makebreak

boolean

If enabled, provides an ephemeral connection that disconnects during idle periods.

uri

string

The based URI of the remote service (service modules only).

custom_name

string

The modules class name (Display, Lighting etc) if it should differ from the default defined in the dependency.

settings

object

A JSON object containing module configuration.

updated_at

integer

Timestamp of last update.

created_at

integer

Timestamp of creation.

role

integer

The module type. One of:

0 ssh

1 device

2 service

3 logic

notes

string

Markdown formatted text that describes this module.

connected

boolean

Flag for connectivity state.

running

boolean

Module start/stop state.

ignore_connected

boolean

If enabled, system metrics ignore connectivity state.

ignore_startstop

boolean

If enabled, system level start and stop actions are ignored. This is recommended for modules shared by many systems (e.g. a lighting gateway).

GET https://example.com/api/control/modules

List or search for existing modules.

Query Parameters

NameTypeDescription

q

string

A search filter to apply.

limit

integer

(default 20) Max results to return.

offset

integer

The offset within the result set.

system_id

string

"

Wraps tokens to form a phrase.

( and )

Provide precedence.

~N

Specifies edit distance (fuzziness) after a word.

~N

Specifies slop amount (deviation) after a phrase.
